    I was a kid when they were building Interstate 91 up here in Vermont.My Grandfather owned a gravel pit that they got material from for some of the project.Its one of my fondest memories playing in my sandbox and watching trucks similar to this one drive by the house to the pit.

    Arguably the most handsome truck Mack ever made.

    I've had several B Models over the years.... My only complaint about them is how small those cabs are.... I'm a Big Dude and the Steering Wheel lays in my Lap and Rubs on my Belly... I still have a 1969 R Model on the Road... I have it underneath my Old Rogers Low Boy.... Like the Old Advertisements used to say: "Nothing Breaks Wind Like A Bull Dog"!..... Haha!... I don't know about all that... That old Maxidyne does okay, but you ain't getting anywhere in a hurry.... She will drag the World along behind her if you can put traction to the Ground... She is good Truck... Just can't be in a hurry... Even with the 20 Speed it's "Gear Bound" right around 63 MPH.... It's a Truck that i send out on Jobs that are Paid by the Hour, I'll put it that way!... Haha!
