Mack B61 Trucks that keep going and going

Mack B61 Trucks that 

keep going and going


 
Mack B61 Truck

Five brothers founded the company Mack Brothers Company and began producing buses in 1901 and in 1905, the company moved from New York to Allentown, Pennsylvania, and began to specialize in the production of commercial vehicles.

The Mack Model B was introduced in 1953, with its rounded contours of the cab made it distinctive. After 127,786 was built through the year 1966, it was surely one of Mack’s most successful and popular products.

After they stopped making the truck it started showing up in movies like,
The Concrete Cowboys 1979 and Maximum Overdrive, 1986.
Even a few have showed up in I-80 Trucking Museum.

Every once awhile you can see the trucks working as you go down the Hwy.
Even more rare is seeing it working in another Country Like this one in Peru.
Most of the B61 trucks run the END 673 Thermodyne in-line six-cylinder diesel, which featured an open-chamber, direct fuel-injection system. These generated between 170 and 211 horsepower during its production run, while the turbocharged ENDT 673 developed up to about 220 horsepower.

I would like to give a special thanks to my Bro in Peru for the video clip. This truck, more than likely has a Cummings engine because it generate more power than the Thermodyne and it matched the advanced Jacobs Engine Brake system.
And it probably steel have the double stick transmission inside.







As you can see it took both hands and feet to shift it. A lot more work then this new automatics of today.
Thank-you for all your comments and viewing the video. I have other videos I would like you to view.
