I remember seeing those types of B models on the road working back in the 70s and early 80s as a kid in NJ. They were plentiful. Some of them are definitely restoration candidates to the right person. Those trucks were from a time when trucks were build to last. You could beat on it hard all day and it would ask for seconds.
Mack used the camelback suspension and top loader axles for a long time. My '85 DM 866S has the same set-up. They might not have been the fastest trucks but with care they lasted forever.
Great video and Trucks. I've been noticing some O.D. Green . The Flat fenders look a tad bit surplus. Back then Contractors and Farm and Ranchers would make use of and rebuild or modify and put it back to work. I drove a Armored scout vehicle WWII Surplus on a construction site. They called it a Farm hand. They reversed the shearing and set it up like a Fork lift . Other than that it was original flat head and drive train no bed and no 50 cal. 😁
''HEY'' =''DUDE''? XMAS IS COMEING==PLEASE BRING THESE WONDERFUL ''MACK''S TO MY HOUSE==IN VERMONT.??? I RAN A LOT OF MACKS IN MY EARLY YEARS SAME TRUCKS
Too bad all those B Models rotting in a forest, sad that the owner hates them. I’d really like to see more of that RD, one of my first semi’s 100 years ago was one of those. Great truck.
@@adirondackrust6829 can you imagine all freshened up with a 300 or 350 four valve a Mack or a 400 BC or 3406 Cat ? The suspension and deep reduction gears are ready to go. What pretty workhorses they’d make. I want one or an old DM
Well that’s a good question…when they belong to a business like these do if they were sold taxes would be due I assume the same would apply if they were scrapped. I think it is called depreciation recapture. These were originally bought to use in a mining operation and the rest were obtained to use as parts trucks if needed. The original owner has passed and for now they are silently rusting away ….I’m sure there is a market for some of them as restoration candidates or just parts trucks as you have said to keep another alive and running. I hope someday they can be saved.
@@adirondackrust6829 when I was a kid in high school (1982) I started working on trucks, they were still running B models back then. You could tell the sound of every engine passing the shop. they all had their own distinct sound.
I understand now well not much probably have more into it than I can get out of it however I’m just doing it for fun and it will be a truck to take to the historic truck shows. But with prices of trucks where they are you never know!
That is a nice old herd of B81's there: All trucks shown are heavy spec, camel back rears, 100% Mack.👍good stuff.

Great video of those old Bulldogs
Love them old B-61's. All of them looked restorable......if your pockets are deep enough❤

Got rides in both B61s and B81s as a kid.Thanks Dad!
Amazing collection of B-81’s!!!
THEY DONT MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USE TO MACK STILL A BEAUTIFUL TRUCK 👍
yeah that's first trucks I drove years ago quadriflex and Max and loved them still do like the looks of them love to see him
I love old Mack Trucks
They are like an old friend that tries to never let you down 👍🇺🇸
55,000 lbs rears, TRQ7220 quad boxes, and the turbo Thermodyne would most likely be an ENDT673-C . 18,000 steering axles. All are 1965 or earlier
That dump red b81 with that tall bed shield id buy
I’ve got a r700 that is way worse than most of these I’m going to try and fix would love too see em on the road again thanks for the video

@@adirondackrust6829 if I had a place and some $ I’d love to build one with 400 or so horses under that butterfly hood.

One of those was being used right up until early this summer but was replaced with a newer international
Banjo Rears 🙋💯
Great shape for up here, I've seen newer stuff that looks worse. I guess these didn't see much highway use.
Mostly off road
That B81 with the wide radiator was a V8 mabe you could’ve shown it
Great video,where are they, I would like one.
Upstate NY
Someone please restore these B model's not go to destruction ! This is I learned to drive on.
If I ever hear that they are willing to sell I’ll let everyone know
Beautiful
I’d like to know where they are at. And how much the owner would want to sell it.
Broadalbin New York and two have been sold I think 2500 each so far
Can I ask where these trucks are? Or just the state. What was going on with all the dump trucks? Road repair. Rock crusher??
Upstate New York they hauled sand from the pit to a screen
@@adirondackrust6829 Thank you, I will be watching for more videos
Nice truck put it back on the road
Mack Attack!
Where are these at? Been thinking of buying a second for hood donor for my dads truck. The cabs are so clean compared to what my dad has on his.
They are in Broadalbin NY I don’t believe the owner would part with any of them though
Very Nice
Very nice
Pulled way worse than those out and seen them redo great startrs
They are really not in bad shape for their age

why do you have so many abandoned cars in your country, why are they not being handed over for scrap or if a valuable copy is being restored?

I bet they will still run
I know at least two of them do
How much money?
Not sure what your asking about
@@adirondackrust6829 how much would a tractor go for like this? $$
I understand now well not much probably have more into it than I can get out of it however I’m just doing it for fun and it will be a truck to take to the historic truck shows. But with prices of trucks where they are you never know!
@@ItsRobert1 the b models probably around 2500 as they sit
Are any of those trucks available
son de los años 60s
Yes early 60’s
Basically scrap metal now
Nah not yet, they are weather beaten but still salvageable
Far from it and they'd fetch good money too.
How much are they askingp
I don’t think they are for sale
@@adirondackrust6829 are they gonna restore them someday? Whats the use in letting them rot, any contact info?
@@Glibzer I agree but I promised I wouldn’t give their info out but if they decide to sell I’ll post it
@@adirondackrust6829 thanks man. Id love to turn one into a hauler….
