absolutely. if you can get it moving it's legal. stopping is another story though haha

vinny, did you take the kickstand bracket off it?

Brockway guys would understand. Mack's their big brother haha

i just looked it up it's September 22 and 23 in Ballston Spa at the Saratoga Fairgrounds

don't qoute me vinny but i think balston spa is in september???

i said the same thing when i seen madrid, ny. it's a ways up there. i might have to talk him into it. i already messed up and missed out on liverpool, and washington county fairgrounds. i've still got balston spa though. that's always a good show with a great lil pub right at the bottom of the hill just outside of the fairgrounds. not that i've ever been there haha. Brian

i could've sworn his golf cart was painted up like his B61?

i've never been to this show. i just might have to go

The B 30 in Cobleskill was owened by my grandfather about 13 years ago or so. it was complete then with all sheetmetal intact. ex concrete truck

40 series trucks are the same as 60 series trucks except for the obvious (engine and trans) except short nose ( 64-67) and concave cabs. all depends on how the truck was spec'd out. front crossmember is different as well as the floor board (depending on transmission) and trans mounts. axles are the same. it's the same truck just with a differant engine and possibly trans. suspension is the same.

I know whoever spec'd my B61 out had specd' it pretty heavy. it has a 29,000 lb. double reduction rear without trailing arms with a 5.17 hogs head. i keep forgetting but i want to measure the the axles out of a smaller rear, say a 23000 because it sure does look like i could swap in a hogs head with a lil more road speed. say a 4.28. idk just my 2 cents

by the looks of all the pics I could go there for a week long vacation and never get bored hahah

this has been covered a few times on here and i know my grandfather has done this swap about.....well..... more than ten times easily. you pretty much need all the mounts and radiator from the diesel truck (ie. front trunion mount crossmember, trans mounts, 72 series trans unless you have a bell housing that will allow you to use the 67 series small box, radiator, throttle linkage, and other odds and ends)

lol i thought we did. i'm gonna have to check out that web site. there were so many trucks there i could have spent the entire day saturday looking at trucks if it didn't get rained out. definitely a good show

if only it was closer. that'd be a great donor truck to repower a B

Red Horse, didn't you have that truck at the the 2012 ATHS show in Springfield Mass? if so i think you were parked a row over from us with it

i looked the other day rob i'm spraying with a 1.4 tip on the SATA. But as far as DBC/DBU/Global are all garbage. the one base coat PPG puts out and it's the cheapest base coat they offer is Omni. great product and it's like a sore pecker, for the price you just can't beat it.

Larry, are you running a brownie box behind your triplex?

nice find vinny but we need a better pic

tops definitely chopped but he did a pretty god job matching the drip rails. first time i ever seen the top chopped on a big truck. the whole concept is definitely an original idea

out of work bum

i'll have to double check on my tip size now that i think of it. i wanna say it's a 1.2. i know it has a small tip. i've never sprayed in a booth nor has my mentor ( my father is a veteran collision repair/resto man/ metal man of over 30 years and runs his own shop to this day). but i do think that every shop/setup is differant and there aren't two people in this country that use the same exact products. us for example use the same gun for sealer/base/ and clear. we never bake except for a rush job and bake the primer. my dad's from the old school of centari acrylic enamel (Dupont) w/ (siphon feed DeVillibis) that you could clear on top it if you waited about 4-8 hours(preferably 8-12). kinda similar to DCC Concept's four hour wait with a PPG (preferably Concept) clear coat ( BTW my father sprayed a B42T for my grandfather while Maddog13407 (matt has 7 years on me) was still wet behind the ears and it's still holding up decent. It's fading some but for being sprayed almost 30 years ago it doesn't look too bad. To us it's known as #32 and can be seen in the 2003 ATHS yearbook at the National Convention is Syracuse) Brian

the transtar clear i used Rob was the stuff in a blue can. way to fast for my liking. As far as where we spray is an enclosed room with a side draft fan. I spray with a sata 4000 RP gun with a 1.2 tip. let me tell ya that gun is a hoser but if i keep the fluid in a little tight i get no-buff jobs quite often. I'm a firm believer that a clean paint job comes from the amount of prep work you put into it
