That old Black Mack super liner, I drove the truck. For a while kind of kills me to see it sitting in the junkyard. That’s the only truck I ever driven with no front brakes on the steering axle. It came that way from the factory so I was told. She was a workhorse. I pulled a low boy with it with some pretty big equipment on it
Amazing rigs there, I only wish I had the money to burn for em Edit: it’s incredible to see and feel the stories told by these old girls, stories of a bygone era. Incredible video man.
Man, that East coast rust is relentless- can't help but wonder what's going to become of this stuff that's eaten up beyond repair. All those awesome Macks with their Minnesota Mag wheels and their Bulldogs still standing proud...
Is it actually called a COE, or are you just calling it a cab over? I saw a brand new autocar garbage truck that was a COE, so they still do produce cab overs.
@@christhompson4950 Yes, COE Cab over Engine. Yes they still make them but only for Municapality/City. Such as Garbage trucks. I think back in 2021 they Reviled their "Updated" design of the On road trucks. but i think it was a Limited amount produced.
Clicked a picture of the Mack at Macungie in 2018. The window card listed it as a 1938 CH model but without the data tag telling a CH/CJ from an EB/EC is about impossible.
That b model winch trk could pull ship out of the water dang should have been in that movie yrs ago with semi with clown face what was it max overdrive heck lol
Even though it probably can never be commercially used again it would be great to see that old Mack put back into decent condition just for it's historical value. What was the story on that old GMC that you passed by without showing us?
That blue cabover probably has seen alot of lot lizards. Beautiful old mack trucks. Those 2 macks are ready to work. 5:39 Good prices at this auction. Thanks 4 showing us.
The first truck is probably an EB or EC Mack is you noted. Look on the right frame rail behind the front tire, it should say EB----- . The Model and serial number are stamped in the frame. The EB and EC were one of the few Mack's that had suicide doors. I suppose it is too late to check since the truck is sold and gone, but ...
I owned the only 85U mack fire truck which had the same cab as that garbage truck but was a soft top. It’s very hard to find old garbage trucks hope that gets restored!
I think the owner of the scrap yard picked up many of the pieces over the years. Probably saved many of them from being cut up years ago. He decided it was time to thin the heard.
