Number one cause of Detroit runaway is due to a stuck injector.

Van; Just from the pictures, and if it does in fact run, it should bring $2,500.00 To $3,000.00 most anywhere. I agree that the tandem does not have that much appeal to those of us who are interested in a "play truck" rather than a work truck. But that is a somple matter to change. Gus

Tom, Looks great and you get A+ for creativity. I did the air ride bit by removing the old Camel back tandem, and grafting the rear axel from an IH Transtar air ride system to my frame. It makes it a full air ride with hight control etc. Really was a very simple swap. Good job, I admire creative people. Gus

What was the advertised horsepower rating of the natural aspirated 711 engine in 1964?

Thanks for the feedback. I have replaced the worn out generator with an alternator, so I guess I will have to think about that gym option. It is probably true that no more than I will be using it, with new tires and the caster set, it will probably be fine. I do plan on getting rid of the tandem and the good old camel back suspension, and going with an air ride singla axel, consequently I will need to add some front brakes, which it has never had. I am also looking for a set of Budd wheel hubs for the steering axel. Any help will be appreciated. I still haven't found out how to post photos on here. Gus

Has anyone added hydraulic power steering to a standard "B" steering? Where is the pump mounted ETC. I have an early "R" model that I have been using as a parts truck, but there is nothing similiar . Gus

O K, how do I go about posting pictures on here? Gus

Good afternoon everyone, my name is Gus, I live in Minnesota, and I just brought home a 1964 "B" model. It is currently a dump truck, but that will change this winter. I plan to restore it to a tractor. Back during the sixties, I operated nine "B" models, and a couple of "H" models, so have always been looking for one in decent shape to restore. Finally found what I was looking for in a barn in North central Minnesota. It fired right up once we installed a fresh battery, but the tires were so old and weather checked that I went back with the lowboy trailer and hauled her home. As much as I have been around trucks, I will still be seeking some answers. So thanks in advance.
