randyp Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 I can side with slow on these trucks. I would however probably stay with a Mack engine as I am much more familiar. They can also be had at much less expense. That is just my opinion as I know virtually nothing more about Cummins engines. I also favor a Mack transmission and would probably not change the duplex out because I like mine.I'll be interested in your old parts when available as they would be used in another restoration, (I don't sell anything myself).RobWell Rob, may not be any parts for you after all, I made the longest drag to date with ole killer B today, 48 miles one way, and she just purred all the way up and down the hills with komatsu dozer riding her. I was a little wore down when i got there but it sure was an enjoyable trip, may just keep her doing dozer duty after all,,,randy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/12584-retiring-61-b/page/2/#findComment-50536 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest downfall is, i'm a perfectionist and like to see them lookin like they just came from the factory.
