    Should be under passanger seat or an outside tank.But!!! somebody may have removed under seat one to fit a frame mounted one on and it also may have been removed.should be a hole on right side of cab where filler spout was if it had underseat tank.Bob D

    BKrois:Did you get a picture of the "L" model to the left of the B81.Also is the picture of the LJ cement mixer truck very recent .I would like to get chassis number of it if it still exsists.Bob D

    they might fit into a B87 front end.frame is wide enough because we had them in 34in frame rails.you wouldn't be able to mount anything on timing cover .compressor,altinater,steering pump would all have to be belt driven.we had two compressors on our trucks one driven off u joint flange at rear of flywheel but we had remote mounted auto trans.but remember these are 3300 lbs dry weight.you might have extend rad but on one of the big B87s I don't think that would look out of place.put 90 injectors in and burn tires.Bob D

    img2246C is a 2948 LMSW-M soft nose.the M meaning mining but were used extensivly in logging.In 1949 they changed them to a hard nose(cast radiator) same as LT's and called themLMSW-L.L meaning logging.They had same frame as LJSWX's but 65000lb rear axles,FA600 front axle-same as LJSWX's heavier main transmisson but same 3 speed brownny aux. as LJSWX's.The engine in a LMSW-M were Mack 707 gas ,200 or 275 Cummins ,or Buda diesels.the LMSW -L had NHRBS @275 standard engine.There a lot here on west coast both in U S and B C in the logging industry.Bob D
