B Model!
Hey Guys!
I have a 1965 Mack B755, 325hp V8, 15spd. tri-plex. I grew up with that truck and wouldn't give it up for the world!!!!!!! I've been offered $15k for it and I still wouldn't let it go! It is in running condition, but does need some TLC and restoring. Nothing like the sound of an old V8 to make your blood run fast! Love the twin stick! I would like to find a source for the old B Model parts myself too.

That place is about 2 and half hours from where I am. Wouldnt be too bad of a ride once the weather gets nicer. Would be a nice weekend if you are allowed to walk around the yard. Have you ever been there? Do they have a lot of trucks?

They're closed on the weekends.
I've been there at least 50 times.
They probably have ~1,000 salvage trucks of all brands. Probably have
~20-30 Macks at any given time. They have some really old Osh Koshs, Autocars, etc.
There's 2 drawbacks: Weather must be good because it's a mudpit when it's wet/snowy (like now) and it's pretty disorganized in back where the salvage trucks are. Kinda scary actually.
