  1. Paulbrook, That Old Bulldog is coming along nicely, I always say try to get one more item done everyday, espacially when everything is all apart and it seems like you are never going to get the project back together- just keep up the steady progress! Firemack
  2. Greg, The grill shells are identical on the B75F,B85F, and B95F so the only way for Gary to confirm is using the frame rail and see what the truck was from the factory. Firemack
  3. Gary The B75 had a 464 or 510 engine and 750GPM pump, (and there were only 54 built). The B85 had the 707 engine and 750GPM pump. so to confirm you should check the right frame rail above the front axle to see the serial number which is stamped in the frame and should be able to confirm if the serial number starts with B75 or B85. If it was a B75 someone swapped the engine or a B85 and someone swapped the emblems. Firemack
  4. Matthew, If you check out the SPAAMFAA.org website they have a classified ad section and you could list it there as there may be someone that really wants to put that radio in another antique truck, even though you most likely won't be able to transmit to anyone- it still looks like the radio that came in the older antiquess.

  5. RW613, I just answered this on another post, the best oil for older gas engines is Shell Rotella T SAE 40W, it is a high quaility oil and provides excellent protection for the older gas engine combustion compounds etc. . Firemack
  6. Gary, Shell Rotella T SAE 40w would be a good choice for the 707 gas engine. You need to post pictures for the other parts you need so we can see what you have, most of the trucks have different types of air cleaners etc. based on the options. Firemack
  7. Gary, There are still rebuild kits available (I got mine from Barry at Watts mack) (you need to provide the carb model number) and also speciality carburator shops- I needed some extra work on my carb and sent it to Classic Carb in Phoeniz AZ. For contact info see the old parts list http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/MusicVid/part...ierslisting.pdf They rebuilt and bench tested the carb and it runs better now than when it was new. Firemack
