ron12 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I just bought an old Mack truck b-61 series cab for a ratrod project. It has a vacuum wiper pump still on the fire wall. I want to register it but I would like to find out what year is was made. I have pictures of it including the serial number from a plate on the passenger door. Is there anyone who can help me with this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Reviewing the B Model Registry on this forum shows B-61's with close serial numbers to yours (47255) and most are showing a date of 1964. Here is the link. Scroll down and hit the blue button that says download and the list will be displayed. https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/registry/ 1 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Brocky Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Send your serial number to the Mack Museum in Allentown PA and get the total history package on your truck.. Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 47255 would be most likely a 1964 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 yup with no door hinge cover plates and that garbage signal light switch puts it at least 1963 and newer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patdbossct Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Who made that signal light switch (the box one in the pic) I remember seeing one as a kid but never seen one since ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy buzzard Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 My B615 had that switch and found a brand new one years ago to replace old. If I think of it, i'll look tomorrow to see if name on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember if it has the hinge covers or not. The remainders of the switches have "Yankee" imprinted into them.
