WattsMack Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Finally, after all these years, we decided to start a resto project of our own! Here are some photos of a B61 Tandem Axle that we just bought and towed home from Massachusetts. It's in decent shape, solid sheet metal and runs like a champ! I'm gonna try to keep a detailed log as we start the resto.http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?app=gallery&module=user&user=1&do=view_album&album=886 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14042-watts-mack-restoration-project/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
