Hobert62 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I'd be happy with the stainless hood latches on the 4th one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Those are not stainless but chrome-plated PAI short ones. Have a tendency to show out rust traces from the pin joints after some use outside.

Hobert62 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Thanks. Vlad, I do see some rust on that one now. Watts sells ones I thought where stainless, expensive but prob worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Prob the same ones. You can always check with a magnet. 304SS doesn't catch at all and 430 makes some tendency to glue up but way less than regular (chrome plated) steel does.

Popular Post AZB755V8 Posted June 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2018 These hoods haven't been out in the daylight for a while. Just getting a thicker layer of dessert dust, maybe have them out this fall. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine in the LTL is the big brother to a 275 iron lung. A 320 with added piston cooling and tuned up PT pump out of a pan scraper, notice the auxiliary double groove pulley in front of the blower, not normal in a truck. Added the Jake on top in green. If noticed on the interior photo this truck is a 3 stick. Duplex into a 3 speed Brownie, no shortage of gears here. It will cruise at 2100rpm@65mph even with the optional high speed 5.77 ratio rears as spec for 1953. Tops out at 72mph. Yes it sounds like a 275 but after 1500 RPM's, great burpie idle too. A little smoother cam than a 275 but more power. Edited June 14, 2018 by AZB755V8 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlotpilot Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 years ago i had a 53 rf 195 gas international 501 red diamond ` started out with a 5x4 the 5 gave up and we stuck an 8 spd road ranger in it for a front box .if you put both in first gear you had to put a flag up to see if it was moving then with both in high gear and a long down hill it would run the speedo. out of numbers` i still don`t know how fast it would actually run because the old 501 did`nt have enough power to get more than about 1800 rpms even down hill 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way both are beautiful trucks.

Yes, the B755 emblems as stated above are original. There are B models with 4 digit hood emblems, but very rare. The 3rd digit is an engine designation, turbo, engine manufacture,V8, gas, diesel, etc. The 4th digit in rare occasion is a 6 for a drive axel option, I think. Most models only have a 2 digit emblem but as with my B755 there are the 3 digit emblems. A list of all B model numbers can be found in the back of Mack Model B books by Thomas E. Warth. Thanks to All for liking the trucks, It took a lot of time, parts hunting, money and donor trucks to get them to better than new condition as seen here. 😀 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
