mechohaulic Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago seems it is as you say :: lines cut for scrap copper. apparently who ever had enough "brains" NOT to cut coolant copper lines for profit!! cut the low air / along with every other copper line,.keep the faith YOU can rebuild a part of history.

Popular Post wayne86 Posted 21 hours ago Author Popular Post Share Posted 21 hours ago The pictures of the day I purchased it and pulled it out of the field he used a dozer to clear it out for me. I was able to get a title as well, but hasn't been on the road 30 years or longer. 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76436-55-mack-b61/#findComment-591838 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wayne86 Posted 18 hours ago Author Popular Post Share Posted 18 hours ago Yes sir it does have the air starter with the big air tank. The motor is free and I have never seen a curve in the rear window. It caught my eyes and had to try to bring it back or try lol. It has good oil in as well. Also I got an extra hood and fenders but probably won't use since the other is solid besides surface rust. 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76436-55-mack-b61/#findComment-591847 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechohaulic Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago defiantly good to have extra parts, either for trading material or might need for the next B model you get, can't have just one !🤣. hopefully the BMT crew won't be kept in suspense waiting for verification of vin / model. it's for sure a B; the concave back usually is a B67. door plate will tell if it's there. or frame rail. picture looks to have fuel tank missing cap. start up may require bit of system cleaning. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76436-55-mack-b61/#findComment-591862 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Yes he still has the trailer but the landing gear is seized and I told him I would be interested if he still had it down the road after I get the truck back on the road. My profile picture shows the trailer better. But he used it to haul steal. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76436-55-mack-b61/#findComment-591879 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what is bmt crew not sure what that is? The caps were missing before I purchased the truck but already replaced most of the fuel lines. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76436-55-mack-b61/#findComment-591882 Share on other sites More sharing options...
