@Diodorus79 The truck has been turned into an extended cab by welding half of the cab from a B-60 onto the back of this cab. It hasn't run for about 2 years now but I could send you pictures if you'd like to see it.
Love the truck. She needs a lot of work but I am sure you will make her a beauty. My uncle had one just like her and the batteries would get up and run away every night so he made it into an air start. Would like to see what you have done to her so far. Great show keep it up. Thanks
Thanks. So far we've taken off the cab and combined it with another cab from a B-60 to make an extended cab (NOT a sleeper). We've gotten everything on the truck primed (everything except the wheels). The economy has really slowed down our progress, but she's coming along.
If you can't find it, DON'T grind it, double clutch-even the upshifts until you get the feel for the gaps between the ratios! Otherwise, the dogs will will wear out and it'll slip out of gear...
Nice truck! I love the backgound growling sound! What has become of the Mack?

Reminds me of that car cahse scene in Maximum Overdrive & it even sounds like the tow truck from Maximum Overdrive when it starts up!

The inside reminds me of a WWII fighter plane.
A 1959 vehicle would never pass an emissions test.
It must have taken a lot of work restoring the old beast tho!

Yeah, kinda sounds like a WWII plane as it's starting up (after the air start of course). Thanks

Actually, you were right. My mistake. It is a 5+4, since you can't put it in 5 low. Sorry

Man that old Thermodyne sounds good. The old B models are the best.
