O-H-I-O Porter greetings🇺🇸 Watching this again here in 2024. Love the Macks with simulators & squared visors. They are different but quite cool. Goes to show you that these old trucks still have lots of class no matter how you show them off! Love the rolling action. Looking forward to attending some truck shows this year! WOW! Can’t wait!! Blessings my friend.🥰😎✌️
Still remember seeing these out working on the daily and also remember how nice they was fixed up and cleaned up we lived beside a neighbor that had a paving company and used these macks and always had a buitiful dump truck and truck and trailer set aside from the everyday trucks for impressing new businesses associates and what not was the perfect neighbor for a kid playing trucks in the sand box watching them going and coming all day and a ride in one every so often lol thanks to him I trucked coast to coast in big rigs now I'm retired
I remember in the early to mid 1960's we used to see alot of these B model Mack's running up & down M-24 in Michigan, my Grandparents neighbor bought a new tandem dump square fender B model in 1964 which puts me at 6 years old at the time. I have pictures of my sister(deceased) & I sitting on the front fenders...GOD BLESS!!
This was the first model Mack that caught my eye as a kid. Still love these trucks. Love seeing the B81 series as well as the old LJ series. They were still in use when I was growing up. Thanks for the vit, great stuff!
My back and my right elbow hurt now just from watching this. Grabbing 3rd gear would crack your elbow on the back of the cab and going over 30 made every pebble you drove over send shockwaves up your spine. This was the first truck I ever owned.
My father owned a 1965 Mack B755 Thermodyne 16 speed quadroplex pulling a set of bottom dump sand and gravel trailers. Working on tbe LA flood projects.
John98 That's how I got my assigned truck at work. Everybody hates the old '03 International. I asked for it and they gave it to me right away since I'm the only one that wants to drive it.
Our girl shows up at 4:51. I always liked parking next to Mr. Cook's Orange B Models at Ballston Spa. Ours is the green concave cab B-61, it is a two stick nine speed, non-turbo 673 with air start. For anybody that is wondering, odd numbers are Diesel and even numbers are gas. A B model could be a light single axle gas powered fire truck or a super heavy B-81 Diesel. The cabs stayed the same with the exception of the concave back by special order. The idea of the concave cab was to move the trailer farther forward. In reality it just makes a small cab even smaller. Ours was one of three ordered that way by the same fleet in '59. Thanks for getting us thinking about better weather! Stay healthy!
The 2 outfits who did did dirt work for my Grandfather in the 60s ran B61 Mack 10 wheel dumps. I well remember the exhaust note when they were going through the gears under load - brings me back. Great video - keep up the good work.
The B models were always my favorite looking trucks of that era. Rough ride though with the spring suspension. There was a millwright in New Haven Ct who had a beautiful gas engine model B single axle flatbed. 1941 IIRC. That truck was all original and looked like it just came from the showroom.
Someone corrected me if I am wrong, but diesel engines were available in Mack trucks prior to 1953. According to Cummins Engine history I have read, Mack was Cummins biggest customer in 1950. Perhaps the B Model was the first to offer the Mack Thermodyne engine, with gas engines still available
Yes mack offered diesel engines before the b model going back to 1936 Cummins was the first diesel engine they offered then in 1938 they began offering their own diesel engines
People that worship them today never had to drive one terrible ride hot as hell in the summer freezing cold in the winter even an r model rode like a Cadillac compared to a b model !
You gave me a good Mack fix. 🤩 I bought a 1/34 scale Mack tractor trailer under the Yellow Transit logo recently. Love those old rigs. Good combination of rolling action and sitting action as well! Thanks! Hopefully, we will be able to have some truck shows again this year! 😎
Learned how on a 5 and 4 in a '48 LJ tandem dump that had seen better days at the age of 15 for a summer job. Be that as it was, that Mack got the job done. Not bad after the first few hours once I got the hang of it. Not many younger drivers even know what twin stick is much less how to drive one. That's when drivers were truck drivers.
My first truck was a B Model with a 5 x 3. Loved that truck! I'd like to give that guy who drover the Red B Model (w green int) driving lessons. He was having a lot of trouble shifting that 5 x 3.
As a kid I spent half my weekend in a b61 defiantly have a love of them. But unfortunately as a truck driver for a living haven't had the pleasure of driving one hopefully one day
Cool video! 😎 I worked at a Mack dealership for 15 years, Helped restore 2 , B Models for other guys. One was really cool B65 with 864 V8, black cab red frame, I wonder if it's still running? 🤔
I remember riding in a B pulling a dump trailer growing up. Maybe that’s why if given a choice of a Mack, a Pete, a KW or a Western Star all of the exact same specs and wheel bases I just may take the Mack
Mack diesels were offered in the LJ's, prior to the B models. Cummins diesels were offered in the some of the L's also. Mack's Lanova heads/diesel injection were offered earlier too.
The footage was from a variety of shows but for the NY plates many of the trucks were seen at the ATHS Hudson Mohawk show in Ballston Spa and the ATCA Northeastern PA show in Harford, PA.
looks like my 29 Chevy 11/2ton on my 44 winter weisse low boy pulled by the 57 b61 mack i used to owe except mine was black, single axleand chrome grill shell. wish I still had the Mack!
Do you remember shoving your thumb into the windshield while spinning the steering wheel? Left hand side of the wheel comes awfully close to the windshield.
@@joedarr1656 ok I should have used the word tug. First truck I drove was our 1942 K8 IH on our farm no p/s. When I went to work as a diesel mechanic in 82 (16 yrs old) our wrecker was a 56 LJ hard nosed Mack with 5x3 tri plex, 675 237 hp diesel and our yard truck was a single axle B61 Mack with 5x2 dual plex, 673 non turbo diesel and an add on air assisted steering. I grew up in mostly farm land in the mountains of northern NJ right on the border with PA and NY state and they were still running B models around our area. A local plant and tree nursery were still delivering shrubs on 1954 Brockways with gas powered Continental engines with hand made wooden cabs. I'm also a large guy 6'4 and trust me those cabs were small. And yes my hand made contact with that windshield several times.
@@joedarr1656 not gas powered but air assist, it was an add on and probably installed years later. When we got the truck in the early 80s it was already installed. It was an air cylinder (same as a hydraulic cylinder ) with air lines going to the top and bottom of the cylinder. It was mounted to a bracket that was bolted to the front axle. The ram part of the cylinder was clamped to the tie rod. Both ends of the cylinder had pins for freedom of movement, depending on which side of the cylinder received air pressure, determined which way the ram was moved. And because the axle wasn't going to move the ram would help move the tie rod right or left. It was the only truck I ever saw it on. I've also seen heavy duty IH 5070 Paystar 5000 with dual power steering boxes, one on each side of the frame. The one on the left was connected to the steering wheel (master) and the one on the right had only hydraulic lines (slave). Sorry for rambling on
Could anyone please explain to me the meaning of the letters for each model? Like what does the "B" on a B Model stands for or DM? or F, J, L, LT, R, RS? Thanks in advance. Great video by the way!
Mack has used the same letter designation for more that one model. I do believe that DM stood for dump & mixer. The DM used the R model cab, but offset the cab 11" to the left. It was almost like driving a cabover
@@russvoight1167 I ran 2 different DM 800 Mack's in the Seabees 78to83 and I hauled heavy equipment with them .They used a winch to drop the front of the trailer down and you loaded it up and then picked it back up with the winch. The kingpin on the trailer you would unscrew it and pull it out. One of the trucks had a V8 the other a V6 but it sucked because they had them set up to where they wouldn't go over 55 miles an hour.
Mack had diesel engines before WW2 in the original F series and L models also. Not very powerful but Mack Lanova diesels nevertheless. Check Montville's book for specifics. Mack sold many pre B model trucks with diesel engines during WW2.
I knew a guy that drove a canvas top NR Mack that was repowered with a 6-71 Detroit. I had a picture of him hauling 2 bulldozers on a bogie flat bed each one weighed 12ton 24 000 pounds. A GCM of about 70 000 pounds I think it was a 2 valve job as well. I'd love to restore an F700 don't see many of them anymore. Cheers from Australia.
That damn Mack Lanova was a crazy thing. The nozzle wasn't in the pre combustion chamber. The nozzle shot the fuel acrossed the combustion chamber and into the Lanova pre combustion chamber on the other side.
Was used on construction vehicles for protection, but it is very common on a lot of Mack's and you can install them easily because the bolt pattern is the same for most B models and R models
Love your channel to the point where you're probably sick of my comments, but is there any chance you can find some off highway logging or mining trucks too? I know it isn't all that easy here in upstate NY, but you travel a lot. Most of the off highway logging or mining truck footage here on youtube is very short, oftentimes just 30 seconds as one goes by or pulls away from the loader or shovel.
They were pretty and cheap to buy. If you were over 5'8" and over 150 pounds, they were a toad to drive for the cab size. Best day behind the wheel was when I went from the B73 to an R600. I am 6' and 210 pounds, I kept wearing the belly out of my shirts because my belly rubbed on the steering wheel. I hated the things. I was offered a chance to drive a restored one about 6 years ago, I drove it for about two miles and remembered why I hated the trucks. But, they are a pretty truck.
@@ernestpassaro9663 They were about 85% the cost of a KW in the '50s and '60s. That is why Weyerhaeuser used to buy them. At least until the mid '70s when the quality really started to decline.
From a response above, this is the Big E, in West Springfield Mass. I've been there many times, but have never seen this show advertised. I'll now be looking for it.

Back in the 1960’s my B-61 250HP Thermodyne single axle quad box could haul 200,000lbs of steel through the Detroit city area with no problems.
I have a 57 b733. Has triple instead of quad shift. Also has cummins stock. Thanks grandpa.

Mi primer camión fue un Mack B 61, ase más 45 años son unos camiones muy buenos casi eternos desde Costa Rica, gracias,,

Me too, but it's B61 not 81🙂
There's nothing like a one stack Mack with a window in the back!
Except maybe a two stack?
My old friend, nicknamed “Two Stack Tony” was a cool guy. Had it painted on his cab!
@@para55a2 There's nothing like being stacked! 😇
Fact jack
Twin stick mack
Had the pleasure of driving one a few times. Learned on a U model, and drove U models and R models regularly. Now I drive a single axle Mack Pinnacle.
I grew up riding with my dad in our B-model. The kids and I love taking it out for joy rides on the weekends!
As a volunteer fireman the first truck I ever drove was a B model Mack, open cab pumper, 6 cylinder 5 speed. Loved that truck.
1:51 Never saw a B model bus before! Great video!
Only the grill on the bus is a true B-model but it was too cool not to share.
My back and my right elbow hurt now just from watching this. Grabbing 3rd gear would crack your elbow on the back of the cab and going over 30 made every pebble you drove over send shockwaves up your spine. This was the first truck I ever owned.
I would love to see a show on the old H-Model Mack like my Dad use to drive from North Alabama to California
My father owned a 1965 Mack B755 Thermodyne 16 speed quadroplex pulling a set of bottom dump sand and gravel trailers. Working on tbe LA flood projects.
Hi Bob how are you doing
I drove a 62 for years. They called it my baby cause no one else wanted to drive it. It was a non-syncro trany
Most class 8 truck transmission (manual) are non syncro
John98 That's how I got my assigned truck at work. Everybody hates the old '03 International. I asked for it and they gave it to me right away since I'm the only one that wants to drive it.
Do you have to double clutch or what? How does one drive without synchronized gear shift?
In my early years I drove a 63 B model pulling a lowboy trailer hauling equipment.... You froze in the winter & roasted in the summer..

Hopefully we get back to normal this summer!!
I believe we will be!
I’ve always wanted B model, maybe one day. Just something about them screams, TRUCK!!
Best looking trucks ever made
AMAZING VIDEO ON HERE TODAY STAY SAFE TO EVERYONE ON HERE
Arguably the 57 Chevy of antique truck collecting....

Los B de Mack son los más bellos e icónicos de los análisis, independientemente de todas las marcas de camiones
Lo reafirmó, y junto con el DM y el R ,lo macksimo .ve el video UA-cam. Mack DM 800 a escala
I'm seeing a whole lot of New York plates on these B models...
Love to know where exactly...
The footage was from a variety of shows but for the NY plates many of the trucks were seen at the ATHS Hudson Mohawk show in Ballston Spa and the ATCA Northeastern PA show in Harford, PA.
You guys ever been to the Mack show in MaCenzie PA every Father’s Day weekend best Mack show on the East Coast
My dad had a b model 262 Cummings air starter 15 speed. I think it was a 1956.I loved to ride with him at 9 years old.
262 was the big motor back then..
I remember a excavating company that we use to use in the late 70s use to haul a john deere excavator with it she didn't like the hills
Very Nice Trucks

What year is that Mack? And what specific model is it?
Can’t get enough of these B’s! Is the bracket mounted in front of the radiator standard and is it just for mounting a company name?
I think it provided some protection for the grill/radiator in constructions situations but it proved to be the perfect spot for a logo!
Was used on construction vehicles for protection, but it is very common on a lot of Mack's and you can install them easily because the bolt pattern is the same for most B models and R models
Not much of a Mack guy, but I do like the B's,R's, and Super Dawgs!
learned to drive trucks in one
I would've put an offer on one them double tandems if they were for sale gosh darned ....
i meant 1954 9 speed twin stick overdrive trans
A lovely shape
Was this all at one show? Where?
Multiple shows over multiple years.
Please pics of interior
Also it seems like there were allot more single axles made than twin axles, why? Old time weight restrictions maybe?
More likely it had to due with overall truck and trailer length. Back in the days of the B-model the legal length was much shorter than allowed today.
@@Dailydieseldose315 Most likely those were "city trucks" used for deliveries in tight city streets and alleys.
@@thomasdragosr.841 I had two B67's,one had a concave back -squeezing the wheelbase that much shorter

that is a misnomer, not the first Mack in diesel, not even close. May have been the first with a Mack Made engine.
Is this truck now considered an antique for registration purposes?
The B models were definitely NOT the first mack diesels.
Why do we have flintstones in a b model video?
B String holy roller! Everyone up on the B String!
I wonder what happened to the fleet of B models Waylon Jennings owned
music name in video?
Was the show held at the Big E in Mass?
Yes, some of the footage was from the ATHS national show from 2012.
I was looking for this question. Wonder when the next one will be.
Mack Attack!😎👍
62 Thermodyne
They were pretty and cheap to buy. If you were over 5'8" and over 150 pounds, they were a toad to drive for the cab size. Best day behind the wheel was when I went from the B73 to an R600. I am 6' and 210 pounds, I kept wearing the belly out of my shirts because my belly rubbed on the steering wheel. I hated the things. I was offered a chance to drive a restored one about 6 years ago, I drove it for about two miles and remembered why I hated the trucks. But, they are a pretty truck.

If you have an inline six theres no need for two stacks, just adds weight.
