  • A little off from our normal "horsey" videos! But this was taken shortly after I got "Baby Skiddle" back on the road again after being retired for 10 years. Please check out our other videos regarding our tack stores! ‪@madtack‬

    I loved riding round in old semi's when I was young. Dad me and my step brother
    Rode from Fresno CA to Boston Ma
    In an '85 small bunk Freightliner. My step mom's idea. My Step brother and me were both 13 at the time. When my daughter was 10 I got to take her on the truck as often as she wanted. Disposable cameras are great. Get a case. Let the kids have fun. She's still got the pictures.

    Thanks so very much for sharing your truck with us! I have fond memories of seeing these trucks working everywhere when I was a young kid in the sixties and seventies! There was construction going on around my home because of building of I-55, new homes and apartment complexes. I loved the sound that they made and the Bulldog hood ornament! To me every truck was a Mack truck!

    When I was a kid in late 50's and early 60's , these truck were everywhere ! I miss seeing and hearing them ! Thanks for the trip down memory lane ! My dads first truck was '59 Brockway , they were based off the Mack. Ours had Cummins 220 though, I miss the Mack sound !

    Baby Skiddle is an awesome truck. B model Macks aren't huge (kind of like driving a 1940s vintage car) and would make great restoration projects for those who'd want to do a truck rather than a car. With so many B models built, body parts shouldn't be all that difficult to find if needed.

    Your B Model does not have the Twin Stick Maxadyne Transmission, is that a 2 speed rear shifter button ? Or is a Road Ranger High/ Low Transmission Shift button ? I drove a B 61 single axel Tractor in 1974, pick up and delivery of Rental Trailers and storage trailers for a leasing company. But it was the Single Axel Tractor model, with the Twin Stick High/ low Mackadyne Transmission. Nice to see the old girl running.

      Its a 5 spd with a 2spd Eaton rear. Actually ordered that way from Mack. I'm hoping to get a new video out in the spring with a walk around and description of the truck, Stay tuned :)

    Nice rig. But what's going on with the clutch brake? Worn out? And some friendly advice: try to float the gears instead. Your left leg and the counter shaft will thank you.

      @@madtack that’s cool. I was beginning to wonder before I commented thinking it was gas before hand. Usually that I know of the gas jobs usually had a 2 speed rear end but I guess you can order it with the diesel too which I didn’t know. Cool video. 😄
