1959 Mack B-61 ... First Run

Our '59 Mack finally lives! We bought it from some guy in North Carolina who said it hadn't ran for about 15 years.

We took it down the road... Runs pretty nice!

@bluejay148 Yeah it hasn't been started for over a year now. We've combined the original cab with another identical to make an extended cab. The air starter had to come off so it won't be running for a while :(

Reminds me of that Mack B-61 from Maximum Overdrive & it even sound like the tow truck from that scene in Maximum Overdrive when you guy's started it up!
