I have loved the B-Macks since I was a kid in grade school and a friends dad was in the trucking business. My Grandfather worked for Ward-Lafrance in Elmira, NY before I was born. IMO, this stuff is pure American history, and these specimens were a huge part of making modern day America. When you consider everything that was transported over the decades by these beautiful behemoths, it's no wonder we love them.
I had a client about ten years ago who was into restoring these Macks with his Dad. I should have gotten some pictures, I know. There is some fantastic vintage stuff on this thread.

Well, I certainly wish there were more captions with these great pictures. There's a ton of trucking history to be learned, here, and as much to be remembered.

1965 Narrow noze Pete built by my friend over a period of 11 years. Ground up, all custom. Every bit of work done by Dave in his hanger and paint shop. Once in a while I would stop by and lend a hand. This truck is a true piece of art-------

Did not like my C Ford cabover. You had to tilt the cab to do anything. Had to keep a hammer under the frt seat to free up the nightmare linkage. You would tilt the cab and hit anything that looked like linkage anytime the tranny locked in gear.... ah the good old days driving lumber for a living
I see a B61 every now and then in revenue service.
Has a modern big chrome bumper and running lights.
Pretty cool.

I've always love the looks of the B Model Macks. I was fortunate to drive one when I went to tractor trailer school in 1975. It had the triplex 3 stick tranny in it. That was an experience trying to remember which gear I was in.
