I have pieces of one that I am going try to use as a pattern. I think if we are going to keep these trucks going we as a community are going to need to start thinking out of the box. There will be a definite market for a pattern, even if we have to sew it. Or pay someone to sew it.

Finaly got my parts truck home and of course i want to see if i can get it run. I didnt have a long enough bar with me so i will have to go back and give it a spin...hopfully. Anyway i discovered the truck has a 711 backed up bt a 14 speed. I am not familiar with. Are they any good?

It's a quart

I was surfing around the old innerwebs and ran across this color from Alkandys. He sell it on on ebay also. I have not tried it, but it looks darn close on a computer screen.

I want to thank the people at the Mack Museum for finding and scanning the mechanical drawings for the floor pans. I have attached them for future restores to use...to bad I would have got this 2 weeks ago! 1340335038_FloorPans.pdf

I'd help you out if it was mine...I stole the pic awhile back because I thought it would help put my nose back on. Maybe someone on here owns it, but I'm not sure it's in the same state of repair.

I have attached pic of my clip and a pic of someone else's truck (Thanks Whomever), but I'm at the same point. Should I keep the inner headlight panel attached to the radiator support or attach them to the clip to reassemble.

Hi Mike, I could use that diagram and probably a bunch more people could also. If you scan it to me or take a picture maybe I or one of the admins can get it up.

Yaa..yaa... ya...earplugs....hope I don't slip in an oil spot and break a hip. I've heard them all...well I did before I went deaf!

Getting a double over would be great! But probably not my luck. We will see. I have to go to NJ this weekend for my Daughters Cheerleading Competition, but hopefully will have it home next weekend. Will probably take it to my buddies Junk Yard where I can take my time to salvage what I can.

Good thinking!!! I didn't even look. I did crawl in the cab but the drivers seat looked like it had melted and I layed an old board across to get the paaenger door open.

The b42 is in my shop with the 6v53 Detroit engine. The b61 is my latest acquisition. The cab is pretty bad, I will be keeping my b42 cab...though not much better that the b61. Yes the triplex transmission is in the b61 (in the weeds) I was not able to crawl under the b61 since it is settled down in the dirt to get a number off the Trans. So I'm not sure exactly what model. I'm going with what the owner has told me. I wanted to bar the engine over but I can't get a breaker bar in there. I assume it's seized.

It's pretty bad...the floors are gone, door bottoms are rough. But it has a lot of parts I can use on my b42.

The says he has the headlight panels complete. Outer fenders are gone and I assume inners are also.. Here is the tag. B61 not sure of the year
