WTB B-Series Mack Truck grill shell
Hi,
I'm working on a 1959 B-61 Mack truck conversion. I'm looking for a stainless grille shell & grill for it. Also any other chrome air filter or related Mack handles, hood clamps & MACK dog. If you know of a source I would appreciate it too.
Thanks,Mike Forte

Can you post a pic of the grill your looking for. I've driven by a place with an old Mack beside his house, but I'm not sure of what models what. It's been there at least 20 yrs. Jeff

Never mind I Googled it. I'm kind of heading that way tomorrow. I'll see if it's still there. Been a couple of years since I've been by there.

Sorry, it's GONE. It was sitting there forever, go figure. Nobody was home, but a neighbour said it "left a while ago" (whatever that means). He also said the truck had no chrome/stainless left on it. I'd never seen the front since it had it's back to the road. Sorry if I got your hopes up. Guess I should have checked it out first before I posted.
Saw that picture when I googled B61 Mack. It is a beautiful truck. Thats why I remembered the one I went looking for. It was on the way to my girlfriends (wife now ) MANY years ago. I used to dream about putting it on a 1 ton frame and restoring the body. Ahhhhhhh.... I shoulda done it. Sorry again, and good luck with your search. I'll keep an eye out. Jeff

Hi turbo,
I always liked the B-models. It's the best way to resurrect my great running Dodge to an old classic Mack.Mike Forte

I got the Skyjacker hydro shocks on and they are as soft as I'm going to get. It still rides kind of firm but better. One of the main issues is the front is about a 1/4 off it's bump stop, the lack...
