Mack dually pickup, anyone? This B61 Mack could really turn some heads.
The B Models were Mack’s primary vehicle from its introduction in 1953 until it was replaced by the R Series in 1966. They ranged in size from the medium duty B20P gas powered 4X2 to the oversized B873SX turbo-diesel 6X6.
B Models were commonly used as semi tractors and in the construction industry. They were also used as fire engines and trucks, sometimes with the roof of the cab removed. Over the years, 127,786 B Models were built.
And this is a great photograph of a B61 Mack pickup. Whoever took this photo, let us know so we can link to your album! And one other question: Do you have any more of this truck?
Custom Trucks, from Drawing to the Real Thing
This is some of the work by DB Custom Trucks. We’ve talked about them before, on this site as well as on the sites we had in the past, and have featured their work.
But now they’ve posted this interesting image of what the original hand-drawn concept of the truck looked like and the finished product. Nice to see! (1Click on the image to make it bigger.)

1) pre qualify for approval
2) when approved, apply for financing & employment
3) when approved, choose your truck
4) provide your down payment

Classic Cabover Builds
Here’s a big Ford build I just came across. It’s a job done by Area Reps from Northland, who finished it last year.
It was a 15 year build for the fellow. It has a C9 Caterpillar with a Fuller 10 speed overdrive- Dana 80 diffs on air ride – independent front suspension- disc brakes all around.
He shared a couple of photos of these trucks with the internet. I’m not 100 % sure if he also did up the silver and black GMC or the bus, but I’m tending more towards that he did, given the quality of the work on the the “Follow the Sun” Ford cabover with that big sleeper mounted to it.
