Nice Pic. Good to meet you in person Mike at Walcott. Some day I will get my B's together and make the trek down there.

Very nice. Good job.

V ery nice pictures. thanks for posting.

My mistake, a 1965 not 1956. Didnt get a chance to fire it up yesterday, but will shoot a vid of it and post it. Was cleaning out the cab to see what kind of stuff is shoved underneath the seats. Checked the fluids in everything and added a gallon of antifreese to it. Pulled the batteries to clean the post connectors and put my batteries from my B61 in to roll her over. Think I will change out the steer tires before I play with it down the road. Pretty weathered. I think the future intent of this will be removing the ram and putting a 5th wheel. Brocky, maybe your idea of the flares with floats would be pretty cool and give it a tough look. The more I think about it, the more I like that.

Will do. Suppose to be in the 50's here today so I might get to fire her up later today. Going to clean her out first but a very solid cab. The flared front fenders got to go. The plan is if she fires up and runs fine, then I will start on this one first. Pull the cab and start restoring that.

Just picked up a 1956 B-53 tri axle. Original 273. Going to try to get her running today. Was running when parked 3 years ago. First thought about using her for parts, but it is too clean to cut up. Will just add it to the fleet of projects to start. Need a bigger pole shed.

Thought since the weather was nice and sunny for once, I would share what I do on the weekends for fun. The fields are plenty froze and the wind has blown some clearings out in the field so I thought I would get out there to unload. Go figure, getting blasted with 6-8" of snow today, so probably wont be out there for awhile. But the big Mack is fun to play with in the snow when loaded with 5600 gallons of wash water from the local cheese factory. Can reach about 50-60 yards away thru the gun on the back of the tank. A little windage the day of the pictures though, as I had to clean all the glass on the Mack twice when the wind direction changed.
