Whiskymack Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 https://www.ebay.com/itm/1960-Mack-B77/283792683424?hash=item42135cb1a0:g:AdoAAOSwKlxeUbn0 Saw this beast on a certain internet auction site. Only a few hours to go and it looks like it needs some work but boy what a good looking truck. I like 'em looking a bit used! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 That's bad ass and rare. Metal looks pretty decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Looking the pics I would say the front sheet matel is not very good. The cab is probably of the same sort of condition. Also a big question is the frame rails since no pics you could determine how they're good or bad. The current bid is $3300 and the reserve not met.

Maddog13407 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 not A 63. with the cast brake pedal and the covers on the door hinges its not a 63. something is screwy as that brake pedal was last used in 58 and the covers in 62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977vega Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Back up for $5,500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 No reserve this time. Truck is all there except fender closing panels and sheet metal is going to need some work, but looks to be a respectable restoration candidate.

Rob Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I could still do that with a 170hp Thermodyne; but I really don't mind being passed on by. I just like to get there dependably.

Popular Post Rob Posted March 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2020 Yeah, I was getting my doors "blown off" way back in the 70's but that's alright. I drove a more classy rig and made more netted income/money than those in the fast lane. Still have that B-61 too. 3 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

eddeere Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I am with Maddog on the covers on the door hinges. Have read that they were stopped in the late 50's or 60's Maybe it was an on and off thing. Now it is listed as a 1960. Would think you would know the year when listing it. My books show 113 B 77 s made. Did all have with the Cummings Iron Lung engine ? Seems that this engine with the Roots blower would be before the turbo charged engines. I am sure someone here knows.the when the engine was produced. Wish the truck was closer. Would go $5,500 with the original engine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also a B773,they had the 335 Cummins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK so there was a "little" smoke LOL, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarite the good old days..... 318 they sound real good at idle and pulling...... wining tires something hardly anyone remembers these days... when I was young teen you could hear those things at night on the turnpike 1 mile away bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 nothing better than laying in bad as a youngun with the window open, listening to the trucks out on the highway. yuo could always tell the detroits going by. and every now and they we would be treated to the unforgettable "thump "of a V8 powered mack. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

I grew up within earshot of I-55 and was glad to get away from it. Not that J-57, J-79, TF-30, F-404, or T-56 engines at full power on a catapult are any quieter.
