This 1965 B61 Mack, is not just any truck, but a treasured family heirloom that originally belonged to Peter's father, Fred Goldspring. With a powerful 285 engine and a quad box, this Mack truck isn't just an ordinary vehicle. It holds the memories of Fred and Anita Goldspring, Peter's mother, and their legacy as logging contractors from Macksville, NSW. For years, this Mack served diligently, hauling logs from Taylor's Arm, Macksvillel, all the way to the Hunter Valley. It's a truck that's seen the heart of Australia, from Tamworth's rugged terrains to the bustling streets of Melbourne. Bought originally for 11,000 pounds, Peter's commitment to preserving this family relic saw him repurchasing it at twice the price. And the journey didn't stop there. With the help of close friends, they embarked on a passionate project to restore this Mack truck to its former glory. Now, it stands proud in Peter's collection, the only six-cylinder amidst a fleet of powerful V8s. And though the CLR remains elusive, Peter's love for Mack trucks ensures that one day, that gap will be filled. Join us as we celebrate the legacy, the journey, and the undying love for Mack Trucks on Truckstop TV. 🚚 #australiantrucks #macktrucks #vintagetrucks #oldtrucks
