MalibuJim Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!!Finally!!!!!!!!! After 7 years and I couldn’t even begin to count the hours, I took her up the road to her first Flying J fuel stop and back to PAI this past Saturday, (85 uneventful miles) Of course there needs to be a few adjustments and details dealt with but all in all a very successful trip. The old girl rides and drives like a dream. The comfort level inside is high with the air ride seats smoothing out anything that a 46 year old Mack truck would send to a poor old driver. What’s next? Finish some details, lots of pics, maybe a publication would be nice. I'll have more pics and possible video for BMT in near future.Happy Holidays, Jim 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/16754-1st-road-trip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me some specs, engine? transmission? Yellow is my favorite color, if I ever repaint Killer B, it will be yellow. randyp Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/16754-1st-road-trip/#findComment-68084 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 VERY nice looking truck-for some reason the B is one of very few that can carry off yellow as the primary color,and yours looks especially fine! I'll be saving the pics in my "COOL TRUCKS" file. As for my '45,I drive it around the block every day so it won't get tagged for overtime parking. Eventually I'll get some bodywork done,just enough to make the left door latch work again,but that's about the extent of it. (It'd cost me two fortunes to restore it...)
