thunderdog Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Finally had some time over the holiday to start my next project. Complete tear down and starting over with a 91 superliner rolling chassis. A 12 spd is going to find its way into it too! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21885-magnum-winter-project/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Yeah ........you should see what owning a B Model feels like too. When out on the road with a B Model everbody is looking at you. They want what you own and are drooling terribly over it. They don't care if it is slow....they don't care if it's fast......all they can see is BIG....BOLD.....and Beautiful.....with great lines, rounded fenders and curved cab, also round headlights, Reminds me.....I got to hurry out to the garage, so I can pretend mine is back together. Can't help it that i've lost it because mine has been down too long.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21885-magnum-winter-project/#findComment-92561 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderdog Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 A little more progress on the Magnum. Have the cab sitting on the new frame and have stripped all the old air lines and wiring. Removed the rear ends and suspension to go over them too. Get everything into shape and get it back into a rolling chassis to get ready for a coat of paint!

Superdog Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Did you see the Magnum on Truckpaper,Travis??They are calling it a '87,maybe it's just a repaint.

thunderdog Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Already called about that one Mike. Not a Magnum! It is an 87,6 cylinder and a 15 spd. Sure did fool me! Paint and stripes,5 inch exhaust elbows and those style of hood latches had my heart jumping but the serial number tells it all!!!

Superdog Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I was guessing it probably was just a clone,but you never know with a truckpaper listing,the are generally chock full of typos and wrong info.Where'd you get the list of Magnum VIN #'s?We need to get a similiar list for the Freedoms.
