  1. 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?

    • 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.

  2. 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.

    • Worked at the Service area outside of Yardville NJ, on the NJ Turnpike at a Cities Service Station for 4 years.

  3. 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.
