I worked for Mack Trucks for 30 years and got to drive a lot of experimental trucks. I have seen a lot of old and extremely rare one of a kind trucks as well. I am so impressed to see this one run so well after setting so many years. It is definitly a rare truck. It must have extremely low miles by the sound of that montser of an inline 6. Good find.

An engine of that quality will never be seen again. Absolutely incredible engineering back in the day. You really need to get a drum of Rotella 15w-40 some filters and dump that old oil. Don't forget the coolant also. Not sure what part of the country this is but one night below freezing and it's going to be a shame. I could listen to that engine running all day and never get tired of it. Under a good load pumping water would be awesome too. Great video

We did drain the water out right after we parked it. We live in WA so it does get cold! Oil change and coolant are first on our list before we do anything else. The video doesn't quite do it justice, it sounds incredible! Thanks for watching!

I owned a lot of mack trucks back in the late fifties and sixties. Holl Scott engines in some and they got three quarters of a mile to the gallon of fuel unless you were working them and then it dropped to a half mile to the gallon. They were flat beds or dump trucks, then I owned close to thirty macks that were long loggers, all were of the diesel variety. Slow but steady, never ever passed another truck unless it was parked. Later on went to the 350 cummins engines that were stepped on real hard, converted to spicer transmissions as those duplex transmissions were problematics and one truck did get a big cam four hundred in it. It would do the sixty easy, my driver got a ticket for doing thirty plus in a sixty mile speed limit... I challenged it in court to get it reduced to fifteen plus so we took it out and did a speed check. I was floored to see it do ninety four miles an hour! I did power steering on every one of them with Ross boxes. The final results were those rigs wound up having a mack cabin and everything else modern as the "Break your back" mack was real

Just found your channel by way of random youtube recommendations, I remember hearing about these giant inline-6's talking with one of the old timers at a local junkyard before it closed. He always said the reason these engines stay with the trucks they're in is because they're just too damned heavy for anyone to lift, and man I can believe that. You'd need a massive crane to get that engine out. Awesome find, can't wait to see more. Keep up the good work man, glad another relic was saved from the dust piles of history. Cars, trucks, heavy equipment, old electronics and gadgets, don't matter what it is, if every last piece of the past is left to turn to dust, no one will get to experience it because everyone who did will have died off.

I got to drive a similar vintage open cab, modified for tours, Mack fire truck and there was no room behind the steering wheel for a belly. Those guys back then were fit lean fellers. The captain may have had a gut but he had his own vehicle or was chauffeured to and fro, no doubt. All manual steering and double clutch operation took a while to master.

I have heard these Hall Scott engines were noted for their smoothness and good power delivery. They were considered to be a premium engine. Even it it’s current state, it’s a beautifully crafted engine and just look like something you would find in a very high end luxury performance car. As far as I know, the first domestic production use of an alternator in a car was the 1960 Valiant. (In 1960, Valiant was not a Plymouth! It was intended to be its own standalone premium compact car line. It became a Plymouth in 1961.)

I've always had a soft spot for the Mack B cab and hood. When restored they really look beautiful. The one you found was likely maintained by the city for parades and festivals so it probably has been gone through with little mileage. The thirty years of sitting in a rainforest hasn't been good for it but the truck is solid and the previous owner did SAVE it. I think you got a great vehicle if you can afford to refurbish, maintain, and put many many gallons of fuel in it! Might be better to get it running and driving and sell it to a museum.

Make sure she has oil pressure on the gauge. Or other wise she will rod knock in 30 to 45 minutes. Take the oil pressure gauge out and put air gun on the gauge hole nozzle and blow it out carefully and watch the gauge needle pointer move when blowing with air gun if it works then clean the gauge line. If no pressure then you need to check the pump. Happen to me before. But it had pressure on the exhaust side but no pressure on the fuel pump side.

I'd pressure wash it first before I did anything. That sticker of the Fire triangle on the dash must be srandard from the factory because a friend of mine had a 1958 Mack with the same sticker. I hope you get it running, I have always wanted to hear one of these huge engines run.

I've actually worked on a few of those old Hall Scott engines as they were in some old Greyhound busses. I didn't know Mack had ever used Hall Scott engines.

Thank You! Learning about these trucks was definitely a task. Hardly any information about them online. We really had to do some digging. We actually bought them without knowing anything about them, aside from they looked awesome and the engines were HUGE! lol But learning that they were 1 of 6 was a super cool surprise! Feels awesome to tell the truth =D As of right now were just planning to get them operational and road worthy. Stay tuned, we will have videos of them going down the road together soon!

@@Edward-Thaine No problem ;) & Nice! Yeah the research part is the most grueling!! Sometimes i find Sales brochures can help with finding that certain/specfici info as well. Currently the only "Low production" anything i own is a David brown Vineyard Tractor which is 1 of 523. Looking forward to seeing more. Especially how you will figureout the Tires Situation if they're on Locking ring or Split rim. Best of luck!

Nice old truck . The interior looks real good . Today many people do not realize that many big trucks back then ran on gasoline. Watch out towing though. See the Video about the tragic death from a towing accident
