Incredible truck. From what I could tell, I believe it's oringnal. The B model is the best looking of all trucks. The rounded roof and fenders. It's a look that never gets old.

This reminds me of my grandfather's B61 Mack. I remember riding in it when I was a kid and watching him shift with the twin sticks. Awesome video, great shifting!

Beautiful rig! As long as we were going by.... it would have been nice to swing into the Lighthouse for a beer!!

Learned to drive in a B61 with a quadra plex trans. The good ole days, drivers now would pull their hair out!!! Retired now, but miss it!

Beautiful sounding truck, and that guy is good at shifting that truck. Enjoy watching him. Driving a truck like that back in the day must of left the driver exhausted at quitting time.

Wow, what a small World. This truck is almost identical to the Truck that I first trained on to get my CDL. I learned on a 1954 B Model Mack Turbo Diesel, with a 5 & 4 Twin Stick. They were bad ass back in the day. The only thing I hated about them is the steering wheel being to close to the driver's door vent window, and catching my pinky finger on that window latch when turning the wheel. Other than that, I loved, and miss that old girl. I see yours is from New York State too. That makes it even more interesting, because I am originally from Upstate NY.

Love that sound! When the dog says awhhha it’s time to shift up!

i love those old twin stick macks those are fun to operate you need skill and knowledge to do good with one of those

I love the B series Macks; I drove them back in the 70's; B61 10 speed; B73 Triplex. Cummins. SJ. Hamilton.

Love the sound of that motor.

What a majestic sounding machine.

Wow that Puppy sounds good!!

That's a cool truck! Keep it running!

What a sound , well done

Beautiful truck, thanks for posting.

sounds nice, and that turbo, love it!

Beautiful!! They don't sound like that anymore. That's a real Mack.

Barry, I'm a Gal..., and I've gotten used to the idea of twin-shift now, so I'd definitely keep the truck. 👍🏽😉 Also, I have a 49' International truck I get just after the first of the year, and that's a twin-shift 10 speed w/overdrive👍🏽😈

MACK SOUNDS GOOD 👍👍

Man oh man does that Turbo spool up easy or what!? Gosh that sounds sweet. I sure miss the sound of these old Mack's running up and down the highways and byways of America. I don't know what the rpm range was for these engines, but it sounds like it was a very narrow power band. A couple hundred rpm and it was time for another gear change. So cool! Thank you for posting this video duncanfbrown!!

Love that outside camera shot.

Thank you very much!

One thing about a MACK, it wore out 4 men already, and will wear out 4 more, but still be running

It's sounds good I love the truck

IT IS AMAZING TO SEE, DRIVING A MACK WITH A SPICER TRANSMISSION, I NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO LEARN IT.😢

Good demonstration. Thanks for sharing.

Listen to that Fierce sound of an Old Glory that will never disappear

Very interesting, I almost feel like I am riding in one.

....crazy shifting ;))) great video..... thumbs up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THATS how ya shift a truck cut my teeth on a 55 cornbinder with 2 sticks

What set up and what's the top speed? I'm looking for a restoration project to haul my hot rods and antique tractors to shows with and I love the look of these old Mack's. But I also know some of these old trucks could get out ran by a stock m35 if you know what I mean.

Gorgeous truck Allen. It's been 3 years since this video. Have you learned the art of clutchless driving yet? Also the filming is top notch. Would love to see more.

What a Beauty...

Best video on KZfaq

Mack Attack!👍😎

Tremenda unidad clásica me encanta eso tipos de camiones y la trasmicion 5y4

Like the Hurst Shifter Knob

Is the gearbox synchronized or the driver knows when the best time to shift is or both? In these trucks There is usually some double clutching involved. Btw that was nice.

Dear-Gawd! My favorite truck is a twin-shift Mack B-61?! Is there a way around having a twin shift on one of these, like maybe a single shift 9spd???

You don't use the clutch when shifting only to stop and start,your knee joint would be wore out at the end of the day

Did you ever do any restoration to it since this video?

I thinking about getting a vintage diesel project that I plan on driving sometimes maybe 3k miles a year including occasional freeway speeds(65mph +/-).What is the top cruising speed of something like this?Is there a specific engine/gear box combo I should be looking for or to avoid?

Me and My Radio Just Keep on Truckin Home by Flo and Curley

Check it out he's double clutching.

este Compa si lo ase vien usa el chok y asta doble desembreague.

What a neat,old truck.Takes some talent to drive that thing.Not just select "D" and stomp on the gas.

"BEWARE A DA DOG!"

What editing program are you using? the picture in picture (PIP) looks really cool!

Great dog!!!I wonder if is a 673 or a711 engine?

Is that your Mack or you just took a picture of it 👍👍👍👍👍

Nice shifting, sounds sweet, like the go pro on the guide pole. Do you still own this truck?

That a 300 Maxidyne in there or 250?

Seems he's single clutching the range stick. How is he doing that?

Check out The B Model Mack song.

I sure do like your truck. What year is that?

LOVE THE SOUND OF ENGINE

Sounds like an old Thermo-Dyne

One things for sure,you've at least been around an old timer or 2 LOL,She sounds pretty dont she..

Hurst shifter That’s blonde Linda Vaugh . On the handle

wow nice or what

Is this for sale

350 cummins o 262

nice job shifting a real truck

IDK, I'd think by now an after-market company like Allison Trans. Might have made a single-shift by-now so shifting wouldn't be a safety risk every 8 seconds.

Back when trucks were meant to be driven by truck drivers, today trucks are made so anyone can drive them or should I say hang on to the steering wheel, the art of operating a truck is dying

Suppose why Mack Motor Company spent all that extra money putting those extra gears in that transmisson that you don't use....?
