You are one lucky guy to own a bad ass boss hauler like that .

Looks Great! You do fine work! Are we going to see you and it in Daytona Next Month?

Mark, will you please tell us more about your truck???
Is it all an old Mack or just the cab and hood on a
newer truck frame and running gear??? I've seen
a lot of Petes and Kenworths cab put on later frames.
Very nice work which ever it is...

Paul,

The truck is a 59 B Model Mack nose and cab on a Chev C3500 frame and drive train. The engine is a 454, automatic trans all stock from the C3500. If you are interested, here is a link to the build diary:

Each picture has a short annotation with it.

It has taken me just short of two years to get the "Mackolet" to this stage; I work slow in my old years.

Runs and drives great. I have a little over a 1000 miles on it now.

The next modification will be semi tires and wheels.

Dennis,

Not planning on Daytona this year. I like the smaller events.

[BossHossMan]

That is such an awesome truck. Incredible job!

[Paul H]

Incredible is maybe little short of what you have accomplished. I think it's just outstanding what you
have with what you started with. I love the the collar
combo you choose. Just outstanding workmanship.

Incredible! Nice work!

[Imzz4]

Very very cool ! I really like it !

[Carl La Fong]

It's official, Mark. If I had your stuff, I'd burn mine. I always liked those old "B"s. My friend had one, all restored, that he used as his service truck

[mmaupin]

Thanks for all of the kind words and compliments.

A little story about how I got here....
Several years ago, I was in Salt Lake City after spending the week crewing for a very good friend at Bonneville that has a land speed car. I did not even own a MC at the time. Before returning the rental car, I stopped at a gas station to fill it up. Well what pulls in to the gas station? One of those huge International Pickups (An International CXT) with a Boss Hoss strapped down on the back!

I was so impressed (and envious) that I have not been right since.

A year or two after that, I bought my first SB. I later would put an Amerideck lift in a Ford dually. Just did not have the look I wanted. Beings I could not afford a CXT or a customized F650 with a pickup bed, I went to work building the Mackolet. Planning an out West road trip with it later this year. Plan on making the Reno Air Races in mid-September.
