1962 Mack B61 dump Truck

A piece of trucking history still at it.

First truck I learned on and drove was a 61 b model with a 5+4, single axel with 1200/ 24 tires. I was 16.

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.

The best looking trucks on the road in that era.

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 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!

Arguably the most handsome truck Mack ever made.

Boy that truck is in great shape! I remember when these ruled the road.

I was lucky enough about 20 years ago to drive a vintage B61 with a 34 foot refer of the same vintage good memories

I drove those over 40 years ago. Great old truck.

[kevingilbert]

That feller has a great collection of equipment. I wonder how many thousands of loads that Mack has hauled. Him too. Great video 🤘

[Mudbone]

He lives in a nice place. His dog likes it too.

Awesome. Jealous, those old Mack’s are so cool
Hope that eventually finds its way inside.

I was born in '62. I've only watched ready mix and dump trucks of this vintage form a distance. Nice example of what was the best back in the day.
