You are absolutely right Jose we have gone down hill ever since nothing but a joke now

@@shellyweiers121 you're joking right? No heater, no power steering, no air ride suspension, no air ride seats, no sound dampening, no defroster, no ABS. I can go on We've come a long way. Don't discount that

@@Ryan_Carder we sure have I drove those old macks and they were not driver friendly I can attest to that !

Sorry if this is offensive but those old Mack's ruled the roads for decades. Real truck drivers drove them. Today's candy ass truck drivers couldn't hack it. I'm not saying creature comforts and modern technology don't have their pluses. But they also have their drawbacks. Like working on them.

@@buixrule offended hell, your right, Armstrong steering, hot, cold, 2 sticks, beat your brains out but ran forever

Check out some DM’s they are bad ass

You can still get them from the dealer about $150 each with heat . Just bought one .

make videos!! I wanna see

Sounds just like someone who's just bought their first square body Chevy or GMC truck. 😆 They're just like potato chips.

I don't think they did the gold dog thing that early.

@@plumbingstuffinoregon2471 I think they only did the gold dog thing was in the '70s. I have an '85 that is all Mack and it has a silver dog

It's a pure bred

@@williamdavidson9009 lol, I didn’t know that. I always thought they were gold for pure mack and silver if you had any different drivetrain. The best one I ever saw was one bulldog being mounted by another on this tricked out B-61! lol Them B-61’s are like a 57 Chevy to me. First trucks I ever rode in with my dad shifting the five and four. Used to pull big loads for the little maxodyne power plants. Lots of gears ⚙️ made up for the lack of power. Them were the days

Yes, but the gas engines were under powered fully loaded.

@@jamesbraun9842 yes and no. They didn't win any races, but they got the job done.

I’m just glad it didn’t go for scrap!😳

I've found a ton of Macks that have been engine swapped or designated with the wrong engine. This truck looks like it would be a B422S, which is a Six Wheel Truck. The regular B42 had an EN 402 engine, and the B421 had an EN 401 Engine. The B422 had an EN 438.

Even numbers on b models were gas engines odd numbers were Diesel engines I was told

Back in the way old days big rigs only had about 91 to 130 horsepower. They had triplex and quadruplex transmissions and 2 speed rear axles. Essentially they had 3-4 transmissions to allow for a fuckton of gear ratio's and sometimes had two speed rear axles to double that. 30-70+ gears were not uncommon. In the absence of horsepower you can make up for that with having a shit ton of gear ratio's. These trucks had between 3 and 8 levers coming up through the floor, and a engine vacuum powered pneumatic switch to shift the two speed rear axles gears.

@@smh9902 cool, thanks!!! Ah!! The good por days!!!! I've never seen a gas powered truck whit a nos trasmision, except 2 speed rear end, i can imagine how fun it used to be shifthing all day Long. Maybe it was not a job for every people except for a very skilled operators, now se have power stearing, a/c, strogn modern engines mated whit a bit trasmitions, etc, etc, Thanks for sharing

@@santopiantado1161 Modern engines aren't that strong, either. ICE is still in its developmental infancy in ways few even understand.

It sounds like a diesel when it pulls away, and yet even numbers are gas and odds are diesels. So, is it a diesel? Isn’t thermodynamics also a diesel flag?

@@smh9902 30-70 gears? Wtf are you smoking?

Sounds like the 454 in my 85 Chevy C30 dually with its dual pipes and Super 10 mufflers.

What's fuel stick?

@@reggierendert6494 It's a stick I poke in the fuel tanks to get the levels of fuel! Usually cottonwood,very common where we farm along the Missouri River. I had a real nice one,I had carved a handle, flattened one side with inch increments carved on the flat side,but someone lost it.

@@tomcline5631 oh OK, I got ya. Yes, nothing more reliable than that. Too bad about the one you lost. Thanks for the reply

@@reggierendert6494 no problem! Stay safe and healthy!!

@@tomcline5631 you too!
