we have the silverado version at work, we put a wrecker body on it. we got it in January, one of the first in the area. i had a bitch of a time mounting the 4 outlet pto as i had to majorly modify the transmount bracket. GM/ih was not thinkin with that, or the lack of front mudflaps cause one trip down the road and mud is everywhere. my other bitch is GMs programming for the PTO. had to have a GM guy from the dealer come to the shop to program the pto even tho switch was already in the dash from factory. and guess what, you have the have the E brake engaged to turn the pto on, must be really handy with a dump truck tryin to spread stone eh? and btw, the turning radius absolutely sucks balls. take half a football field to turn around. other than that its a pretty stout truck

International and Mack both had the same screens. wish i could find a few. i had at one time a real B model screen that actually had round corners and fit the shell

another trick i use on stubborn air hoses or fittings is place a hammer on the flat hex part of the nut and strike the ajacent side with another hammer. not enough to deform it, just enough to 'shock' it

B422,B60, 62,68 B70 all had gas Thermodynes. 438 464 540 707. 438 had the baby duplex and quads behind them, 464 and 540 could have had a 67 nor 77 series trans and 707 had the 72 series. the truck in the pic has a 67 series by lookin at the the shifting levers come out more tward the firewall and angle back. a Tach was an option in any B model. we even have a few B42;s that the tach drives off the distributor. that truck looks like an original gas job B60 as it still has the knob lower left by steerin column to switch the fuel tanks from left to right tanks. gas jobs didnt have a crossover like the diesels

dt wont fit in a B model without modifying the firewall ad/or radiator area. fan hub water pump area is way too long

all depends what you wanna do with it. 401 is great to drive around empty or haulin a load of potato chips. otherwise they were underpowered and overworked. motor swap or chassis swap. few things come to mind if you just want a driver is an 80s or 90s ford F600 or bigger, usually had a 8.2 diesel or a 3208 cat or a B cummins if your lucky

401 junker. . not worth wasting time with

guages in the dash and being its a B60 i thinnk its more like a 56-59. few pictures of the frame and cross members and cab and i could probably pin point it

no boat ride luckily, i think Sid Kamp saved it!

throw a set of tires on her, get it running, do the fuel tanks and battery boxes and clear coat the whole thing. you just cant make patina like that

19.5's on the MB and 24.5's on the Cruiser, that must be whats going on there haha

bought myself a cordless Dewalt weed eater and chain saw. pure heaven for the little things you wanna cut around the house and the weed eater battery will last like an hour and half... any more than that i dont wanna weed eat anyways

STOPS is a big thing on older juice brake trucks. can spend a fortune weeding out the problems. not as popular as air. and why does that truck look so familiar?????

that good lookin SOB might get a heart transplant over the winter. i love the sound of the straight piped 707,711 but the balancer is wobbling too much to my liking, not trying to steal the thread

that doesnt look anywhere near too far gone to me. far from a parts truck.where and how much

lots of misinformaton here...... depends on insurance whether you can haul a trailer or not, NYS has nothing to do with it

everything back then was a ridged mount, most of the time with angle irons, sometimes with U bolts. i know at some point they outlawed the use of U bolts on 5th wheels. a Fontaine mechanical slider would have never been an option on a single axle, usually they were fixed. sometime i think in the 60's some tandems were set up with sliders

historic plates in NY dont require a CDL

not far from me..... but god oh why god would you ever pick a midliner to build something on. chassis parts are beyond unobtainable and if it has juice brakes or air over juice they are junk. worked on many and a few with air leaks and parts are non exhistent. youd be better off finding parts for a 60 year old B model

what a hot rod. 285 or 300 plus. either way you better put something in that dipstick hole!

wish i had about 10 more Lund visors after i put that one on that truck.... ugh if we only knew back then

put a hood scoop on her....with the filter. always wanted to do that to a B

5 spokes are usually 34's. front axle has me puzzled. looks like a Rockwell out of a newer Mack

it was an option and rare to see surviving today

factory pyrometer on the dash???
