Those B model Macks are almost as ugly as a flat fender. About 32 years ago I bought a B 62 Mack dump truck and drove it to Costa Rica from Texas and sold it here, didn't make as much as I had hoped but did turn a slight profit. Before that I had driven down a Mack R model with a Ford single rear tanker truck piggy back. Both trips were interesting to say the least especially the piggyback. The fellow I waw working for(driving for) who had bought the trucks for a client in C.R., drove and International Bus, come to think of it, not sure where all my marbles were, obviously he preferred the bus over the piggyback. Anyway as we had just passed Veracruz Mex. we hit another check spot. At the last check spot all the paper work ended up with the fellow in the bus, but this time they did not stop him just me. So here I'm sitting at a Mexican check point with no papers, I looked around as the guard was inspectiny truck after I told him the papers were in the bus and saw there was no vehicle so when he was at the back of the the piggy back rig I just floored it and took off. As I did so I heard two shots fired. Well about 10 mins. away here comes the Bus on the way back to see what had happened to me I just waved at him telling him to follow me with the pedal to the medal. Never heard another word about it a future check points, but when we got down the road and stopped for some grub I notice to bullet holes in the tanker.
