Love the old Mack, somebody put a lot of work into that.
Who here (besides me) has ever steered with their left arm thru the steering wheel because compound transmissions take two hands to shift?
Yep. Mack with a 15 speed Triplex transmission.
Nobody who ever drove a B model Mack for a living would ever turn it into a pick up truck. Most likely they’d set it on fire.
I had a buddy buy a truck like that #4 one, very similar condition. Same sea green color. The former owner had stuffed a 390 in it. He fixed it up, new interior, new paint (he painted it metallic navy blue). Sweet ride.
Then he traded it, even steven, to a neighbor for a ’53 ford pickup with a blown timing chain. That truck was already fixed up – dark green, baby moons. He ended up selling it and getting a ’67 mustang. (BTW – this all was in the ’80s).
We did, however, blaspheme, and put a 327 chevy in that pickup that came from a ’63 chevy I had. Good god it made that truck scary.
Esso morphed into Exxon, who remembers Citgo when it was Cities Service?
Worked at the Service area outside of Yardville NJ, on the NJ Turnpike at a Cities Service Station for 4 years.
Wouldn’t be complete without at least two International Cornbinders, would it?!
Nope… I like Corn Binders, wish they still built PUs… or find a intact, rust free one.

That Mack dually pickup is pretty sweet.
