godchaser Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 .Hello-Chris here, from Baltimore Maryland. Looking forward to reading the site. I want to restore a B61 here shortly. What a great Truck! Saw one for the first time nearly twenty years ago, (i just had my forty-second birthday) -and haven't seen any since. Going to paint her up with a traditional red cab and black fenders, spit polish all the alum. and chrome everything in sight. Can't hardly wait.Thinking about trying to find one already completed close to what i'm looking for. Modern components, drivetrain, air-ride, leather interior/stereo, etc. A show truck more or less, but a driver too.Great to be here- looks like a great site, talk later.Oh; my handle there is the call name of a race-engine build, i'd like to try and put together sometime. A 1300 cubic inch V8 HEMIspherical.The 'paper specs' have it pushing nearly 3000 hp, mildly supercharged. I'm going to stuff one in an all steel, 'Pro-Street', 55 Chevy Hardtop. - Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/10595-howdy-from-balto/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Rider Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Years ago I had to deliver a travel trailer to a campground west of you. I think it was called Rambling Pines. Dropped it off in January of '94 and got out of town in time for a huge snow storm to start. Stopped in Breezewood Pa. for a few hours then followed a gang of plow trucks across the pike to my place in Ohio. Welcome aboard.
