Trailer for your B model Mack

When I had my Astro I set up a sliding fifth wheel that would go way back to us with a trailer set up for a single axle tractor

Yeah the 5.9 is pretty much bulletproof. I like that the closest thing to a computer on this truck is the radio. It's also a factory A/C which is pretty rare in a 97
-
5.9 cummins and a seven speed. Not a ton of power but it'll get the job done. Only has 134k on it.

Needed a bigger dump ttuck that won't get wagged around by my equipment trailer like my one ton chevy. I'm too cheap to just go out and buy one already put together so I'm putting this together as time allows.

I had 2 B67s with driver side single tank and step on passenger side

My old neighbor was a Toyota mechanic and was doing 3 trucks a week 9 years ago.

Same setup I used on my panel. Plus mounted a generator

I'm 6'6" 235lbs I used a b67 concave cab when I built my pickup. Once I figured out how to get in and out I was ok but I do look like Magilla gorilla in there.

If you don't want a transfer switch you can use a sliding interlock on the front of the panel that prevents the main and the 30amp generator breakers to be on at the same time. This way you choose what circuits you want to use. The manual transfer switches limit you to 6 or 8 predetermined circuits. Stopped in Harbor Freight today and they had predator generators non inverter types for 40 percent off clearance. I grabbed a 3500 watt for $281 to have as a spare for work. Couldn't pass that up for that price.
-
The Hobo Freight inverter generators are real quiet. I've got the 8750 watt which runs at 1800 rpm unless you put heavy load on then it kicks up. Even then it's a lot quieter than my old generator

You're doing the right thing as far as I can see. You'll end up with something that will be used and enjoyed instead of a fifty thousand dollar restoration that will be worth 25k when done. You can spend years looking for non existent parts and not get anywhere. My b model on a chevy 3/4 ton chassis is my daily driver in the spring summer and early fall.
