TYLDEN HERITAGE COLLECTION
MACK RESTORATION
For TONY CHAMPION COLLECTION B61 RS 50067

BY IAN LEE

In the late 1950’s the two trucks on my wish list were the new B Series Mack for style and with awesome diesel power they were the highway kings of the period. The Queen with its outstanding jewelled bonnet side vents and top performing petrol engine was the Diamond T 630 and a lady you could love forever. Today few examples remain and the news of a skeleton which was a must to see, then the remains of a second larger one and the bits of a third, and a youthful memory came flashing back.

The nice back end to match the curves up front
The white knobs are ivory and for making 2 key music and for the best tune need to be moved as one
The sucker and the blower must work as a team for satisfaction

And an old dog knows where to find the best tucker and nice warm bed. On it's way home to Queensland.
