Vlad The grab handle in your picture is solid stainless steel, we have bought some sets of this handle from Watts. They are not the original B model handles. The original B model handles are chromed hollow steel plate and they were a standard accessory used on Kenworths Peterbilts and other trucks. If you want these original style used on the B models Courtland Truckworks in Courtland, California (they are old Peterbilt specilaists) supply reproductions of the originals, send an email to Mike, they sell/export around the world - we have bought a number of the original style handles for our B model they are good exact reproductions Mike's email is truck_works@yahoo.com They also have a web site you can find on goole under Courtland Truckworks

Apology re my comment I forgot to say that the E 7 - 400 hp / 4 valve motor is not set up to take the intercooler on top of engine, we wanted to fit an E 7 / 400 hp motor but were told by a Mack company man it can't be done - is this true, we had a good working E 6 / 350 so we used it

We have fitted a E 6 - 350 / 2 valve Econodyne motor into a B model. The motor came out of a 1982 - R686 which had the intercooler in front of the radiator and one air cleaner. We have converted the intercooler to an intercooler over the top of the engine as in our pictures. We have fitted 2 Donaldson dry air cleaners. We are told that the intercooler over the engine cannot be fitted to a 4 valve motor.
