Our friend Jay sent us this Craigslist Ad yesterday, and both Brian and I were super excited to see a cabover truck that neither of us had seen before.  This 1961 Mack is one weird freak. With the insanely short wheel base, and single axle, this Mack H-67 LT must have been a local route truck, rather than an over the road long haul truck.  The front fenders and such are super cool on this one, and we think it would make a super cool ramp truck if you did it right.

A late model diesel with an Allison transmission, an old school sleeper of some kind, and a ramp that can hold any cool muscle car or race car would make this one just our speed. We’d probably upgrade the suspension, add air ride, and make the interior retro cool but comfy so we could drive it across the country in both style and comfort.

One of the other cool things about this particular Mack is the fact that it is a one owner truck.  It’s been sitting for several years, but if you have $3000 it can be yours and you can do whatever you want with it.

With that said, what would you do with it? Let us know, and let us know if you think this thing would make a cool ramp truck like we do!
