old mack mixer
I drove a mid 60's autocar mixer with all 3 aixles to drive it and it wasn't 4x4 either.It would go straight fine but turning you needed a football field to do a U turn. . An it looks like the old mack.But I bet the mack had alot more than a 120 cummings in it.With a thirteen speed tranny where you split shift the last three gears on the two speed rear ends. I would rather have driven a quad box. Stick arm thru steering wheel and grab both sticks and shift at the same time.

That's the same truck for sure:thumbsup Some more pics- engines this time. First one is my Dad checking out a D353 Cat. Next are a few of a big Buda six with an AC pony motor. Last one is a Cummins VT1710.

The green R model Mack only has 5 spoke rears which leads me to believe that its not as heavy spec'd as it may appear. Possibly 38k rears?

I think you need to go back and re-check your count. All the macks have 6 dogs including rears as well.

It's hard to tell with the angle of the pics but you could be right. For the record all the Mack 38k rears i have seen only have 5 dogs
What is the yellow and black truck?

√ That's what it is. I don't know the model (Husky, maybe?) but it looked to me like an R model Mack with a Brockway grill.

I always thought that the later Brockways used a Mack cab.I never asked anybody about it but they looked just the same as a Mack.Maybe somebody knows for sure.
I faintly recall Mack and Brockway somehow getting together before the end,maybe Ashland oil or one of Macks parent companies owned them both at one time.Ron G

They did use mack cabs and chassis .Some Brockways had the Mack logo on the steering wheels.

Northwest
That look's like a real Northwest haven,and the Mack's are cool to. Not sure if that's a Model 41 or 6 with the shovel front.Guaranteed a shift on one of those would make a fella work up a thirst...:drinkup:drinkup
Do they have a demo weekend or tour's of their yard?

Mack Trucks owned Brockway Motor Trucks since way back in the early to mid 60's I had a 1965 that said Brockway Motor Trucks Division of Mack Trucks on the door plate. They started using an R-Model style cab around 1975 on their conventional cab trucks. As far as I can remember all Brockway cabovers used a F-Model Mack style cab. (Not sure on that though)
