Try Googling "Mack B-61" That should get you to some old truck sites, and many of them will have links to other sites, including maybe military trucks, half-tracks, etc.

I thought he meant "Dodge" trucks. My father-in-law had a Dodge he hauled logs on. On on hill coming out of the woods, he'd have to hook a tractor to it to get out. One day another man asked him why he didn't just put it in 1st gear. Pappy inlaw had thought all along it was a 4 spd, and was using 2nd gear. It was a 1952, with a flathead 6 cylinder in it. A good truck, after he learned it. And that was long before I married his daughter.

hi, We have one of the last Dodge 1972 heavy duty diesel truck. It s what they call c-800 36000gvw with cummins v-8 32 valve,10 speed(very strong truck). Parts to restore are easy to find. Most were not made by Dodge,only put on. Sheet metal not so. It was fun rebuild and sure turn heads. We use it daily on our tree nursery, what a great old truck. Thanks,Warren
