Mack B85....ride along!

[@rodeleon2875]

the double clutching reminds me of driving our old willys.

[@raystarky3896]

Great truck, great looking interior, I know i had a 71' Mack with a 350 small cam Cummins with a 13 speed, not original power, but pretty much everything else was, Great old horses. BUILD LIKE A MACK will last forever

[@OLDSKUULGARAGE]

Awesome Video I wanna see more of this truck! Ole Girl is in great condition!

[@chrismair8161]

So.. if your 6'9" yer head is crimped..Love the ride Sir!

[@karlsangree4679]

I drove a B-85 open-cab pumper for Willow Grove Volunteer Fire Company (PA) back in the mid 70s. Can't say I was sorry when that truck got replaced with a newer Mack with the Maxidyne diesel/5 speed combo.

[@thistime4you]

The first truck I ever drove. I worked for Remi Fortin Construction in Londonderry New Hampshire.

O-H-I-O Porters shout Happy New Year 🇺🇸 2024🥰Ok now, you gave a teaser…I’m gonna do a walk-around & then it goes blank! I did enjoy the ride along though. Double-clutching, oh yeah! I was 15 & looked at a Mack tandem tractor. I wanted a tuck so bad, but thought the old girl had been so abused. The owner wouldn’t fire it up for me & I got mad on the spot. Love the old B model Macks though. I’ve been a tuck lover since I was a kid. Sounds like you sold this Mack. Hope to see what it looked like on the outside. The view in the back window was rather interesting. Blessings my friend! 🥰😎✌️

I drive a Peterbilt and CNC machines. I program and operate and sometimes deliver to my customers. A warm strong handshake always says more than my words can as I have been shifting gears and untethering your new product. The Boss delivers your new kit? It has to be a Pride moment. All I know is this. They need support? I am right next door. American Made.

Great video!

No Power Anything! Adore her!

[@TheFarmallfarmer]

Power steering is cheating in my eyes

[@user-se6oh6dc7q]

Yep I think this truck is a 5 speed it drove one many years ago and you can float the gears just have to be slow

[@bulldogchaser3230]

I drive them quite often and it's not impossible but very difficult and not worth it. That clutch pedal isn't that hard to use

[@franko69]

There's always one.

[@todell7008]

Probably has GOBS more power than the 2013 PeeKnuckle i drive. Mine is a turd.

[@rosspbarnett458]

Is that a 5 speed ?

[@franko69]

Yes.

[@Dee12327]

I heard you can’t float gears in those old trucks.

[@bulldogchaser3230]

It's tough. Mack transmissions do not shift fast and the 5 speed has a long way between gears.

[@realmccoy2269]

Pitt Ohio Macks used to use 300's with 5 speeds. They could be floated, but it took a LOT of practice. Even then you'd be growled at if you were off slightly

[@Dee12327]

@@realmccoy2269 thats what i heard, i also heard if you messed up you had to stop and start over from first lol

[@Dee12327]

@@bulldogchaser3230 would love to drive one

[@bulldogchaser3230]

This isn't like shifting a 5 speed maxitorque behind a Maxidyne. Completely different animal

[@sirdavidstratton9789]

Keep your foot off of that clutch

[@bulldogchaser3230]

I don't need driving lessons. I keep my toes just above it between shifts.

[@franko69]

MYOB

[@garynelson3634]

I don't know who in the hell designed the cab of that truck but they sure is hell didn't design it for a full grown man

[@andrewdoran4572]

The guy driving the truck isn't fully grown as such. He is clearly obese and makes the cab look small. The cab clearly therefore was designed for men of " normal " and average stature.....as they should be ;)

[@douglasheckler7997]

Back in its day the average man was 5'6".

[@joecummings1260]

That replaced the "L" cab. and the L cab was big and comfortable. Seemed kind of like they went backwards
