To bad you're so far away,I let you paint my 64 B87 for me.On the glovebox hinges I will check my junk yard source and let you know.Most likely I can get you a set.Should be going there on Saturday.Truck looks great..Mike

Phildirt,I sent you a PM.Thanks Mike Durkin

Thanks fellows,Mike

I throught about that,just reblasting.But then I would have to put the tires back on and drag it to the blaster.It will be all scruff up by Friday night.Won't be doing anything on Thuresday will be going to Oil City,PA to look over some work me and my brothers are looking at to bid.

i spent the day lightly scuffing the frame,I used a red scuff pad and man do my fingers hurt like hell.I will never again do this,live and learn.I will be doing the frame over on Friday with a single stage I have had very good luck with it in the past doing my old Caterpillars tractors.Will post some pic after Friday.

Thanks,Darren

When I f up I f up.I painted the frame of the b87 yesterday,thinking i was using a single stage paint.I have looked over so many different shades of red and different brands, I forgot what I had ordered.Well I was using a basecoat clear coat.I was doing great until I found out that I didn't have any clear coat.Well it's as dull as it can get.I will be calling the maker (Kirker paint) on Tuesday to see what I should do.I'm thinking that I will have to scruff it up and then put the clear over it.I think what I would like to do is to use a single stage over the basecoat rather than the clear coat.I have had good luck using the single stage paint in the past.

What shade of red paint did you use on the frame it looks great.I've been waiting for the red paint that I ordered to come in so I can start to paint my B87.

My 1979 R model weighs in at 17500 with a half a tank of fuel.Had it out for a spin last week and was going by the stone quarry throught I 'ld have it weighed.

Has anyone used the mack red paint lately.I am just about ready to paint my B87 and I was thinking of using the Ford F1 paint, this is a really bright red.I have it on my 79 r model and it looks great but very $$$$.Does anyone have any throughts. Mike

Paul,i will try you when i go down there this week to let you know what he has.Mike

Like to see your pic.What the info on the other one.

Paul,I will be going back this week.I know he has a tank for you,it was in the body that where we got the other tank from.I think there was 2-3 pass. tanks in there.the brackets I don't know about,if my friend take that one complete truck that has the tank and brackets on it i think.He doesn't have any other b81 parts there.Will let you know how I make out.My # is 215-669-1252

Paul, i will go back this week and get some.Will a tank from the b61 fit your b81?What hood parts do you need?

Maddog would like to see some pictures of your old ford p/u,i am looking for one that not all chopped up or hot rodded up.

I have been thinking the same thing Joe.But how sets of hoods do we really need the same with fenders and any other good parts that are there.Frames,axles, rears would most likely sit around for years before someone would need them.What I'm thinking of doing is what the fellow offered your dad,take the one green truck totally and get the parts he needs then scrap what left.Let me ask the fellow members here the question,How many of you all need parts and what do you need.There was a fellow on here that was looking for glovebox hingles,you still need them?

Forgot to mention that the owner said he has a B61SX that he would like to sell for $4200.It runs and is in great shape.I may have to travel across state lines to see this one.Will keep you all posted.

Here are the last 2 pic from this morning trip.They are of a Mack B20.The cab is in great shape.I am going to work on the owner to sell it to me,he says someone else wants it.It has a gas engine that doesn't run.I would like to make it into a stake body to haul one of my antique caterpillars around on.

Here are the pic.The first 2 my friend is going to get this one for scrap price,less the dump body and front axle.Next one is the sister to the first green one.Next 2 are the dump body full of hoods,fenders and other parts.The red one the owner is going to put the dump body from the first green on this one.I forgot to get the 2 pic of a B20 that he has also will post them later.ENJOY>

Went this morning to look over the trucks some more.Friend brought the fuel tank he needed and some other parts pretty cheap.He has a whole lot of doors that are in really nice shape if anyone needs one.Will post pictures later today.

Joe have him call me,i like to go early.

I'll be going back on Saturday.The dump body on the green one is full of doors,fenders,rad and other body parts.I don't really need anything but I just like to look at all the stuff he has.I am going to see what he would let one of the complete trucks go for.

I won't have to worry about any future owners,after I get done with this truck my son will become the proud owner of it.

I know it must be getting alittle boring seeing these same pic,but I promise the next ones will have some paint in them.Over the weekend I finished up with the bulk of the sandblasting of the frame,airtanks,fuel tanks and alot of the smaller parts.I have oredered the primer and will be picking out the red hopefully today at the paint store.I think I'm going with the Ford F1 red paint,that whats on my R model,the wheels on this truck I will be using silver to break up all the red color.

What parts do you need,there was one b42 left.It didn't appear to be in that bad of condition.I should be going back on Monday or Wednesday.
