Popular Post 1961H67 Posted September 27 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 27 Took the LJ to our Church car Show today It was the one year anniversary of the hurricane, a lot of progress has been made and a lot has to be done . The LJ got 2nd place in the truck category, not bad since half the people have no clue what it was! 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/45/#findComment-583518 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1961H67 Posted September 28 Author Share Posted September 28 Thanks for the comments! It was a great turnout for a local community event, plus they were having a C10 show in Cherokee. I started to bring my 55 Chevrolet but I thought it was fitting to bring the LJ since it was in the flood. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/45/#findComment-583544 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Dean, It was great to visit with you again, and the explanation / history of the name 10-Tucky.. It was the first time I had looked over the LTH with the hood open. By the space in front of the fan I am surprised it only had an 8V71 not a 12V71, especially with the loads it hauled to Prudehoe Bay.. 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/45/#findComment-584729 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 1961H67 Posted 6 hours ago Author Popular Post Share Posted 6 hours ago It definitely has room for a 12V71 , They replaced the original Cummins with the 318 in the early 60s ( as ge did with all the trucks he took to Alaska) They hauled those D7s to Fairbanks in the winter of 64 with it when the Yukon River was frozen hard because there wasn’t a bridge until later . I’ll have to post the history on it and a few pictures when I get a cold rainy day. It’s an interesting old truck. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/45/#findComment-584755 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseliner64 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Please tel us more about the Prudehoe Bay truck.We did watch Ice Road Truckers over here and while it got a bit silly at times the trucks and the road were very intetesting...

1961H67 Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago I’ll put some pictures on my phone and put the history with them,, It was one of the first ICE road trucks. I have also seen videos of some special built Mack’s up there back before the Dalton Highway was built,, I have talked to several people who worked in Prudehoe Bay with Mr Miller it was nothing like ICE road truckers ,, it was brutal. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/45/#findComment-584757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago I did not watch most of the Ice Road shows as there was too much "sensationalism/drama" to make it realistic. When we were in Alaska I only went about 50 miles north of Fairbanks and saw a little of the pipeline. I was not crazy enough to tackle that much dirt road!!! The 120 miles of dirt road between Tok AK and Dawson YK was enough.. The old Just Old Trucks website had a poster who had run Prudehoe Bay in the winter and some of the storys he told were awesome. 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/45/#findComment-584760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1961H67 Posted 5 hours ago Author Share Posted 5 hours ago I’m like you I like the trucks but there was too much drama. I knew nothing about Alaska before I found this truck, I’ve never been there. I got most of my information from John C Millers nephew, he got the truck after Mr Miller passed away and had worked with him on the North Slope. The road they took in 1964 was not where the Dalton Hwy is today, they circled around the mountains with those dozers dragging all that equipment. Matthew Lindsey’s Father knew John C Miller . Maybe I’ll start with the history of this truck from when it was built and work up to the Alaska history because it’s actually had 4 lives from one extreme to the other.
