Some old iron for you guys all here. It’s a Mack H63. The 1950s brought significant advancements from Mack, including the G, H and B models. The G series featured an all-aluminum cab for light weight H Models. The 62 has the same body as the 63 but came with a gas engine.
From what I can tell, this Mack semi cabover was shot by Dick Copello, who said of the truck, “This guy used to run coast to coast; haven’t seen him in years. This shot in 1993.”
According to klintan, who has been active informing us all about big trucks for years now, “This truck is featured in one of Stan Holtzman´s books. It´s a 1957 H-63 with a 264″ wb and a 525hp Caterpillar engine. Owned by Joe Mustang since 1959(!)”
Tommiegunn54, who knows the owner, also had something to say about this truck and the guy: “I met him around 1977 at the old union 76 choke and puke on I45 north in Houston. Joe was pulling for ETMF Diamond Division SCAT, at that time .The truck at that time had a 270 Cat with a Mack triplex trans.,consider to be one of the premiere 5×3 progressive boxes in the industry,at that time ,also i had to throw that in there for the KW KID he is such a MACK fan .Joe was a neat old timer ,he ran a lot of houston to santa fe springs, calif.”
