b61mack Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I was looking at a 59 B42 wrecker, single axle, gas engine, dueplex trasmission. the guy wants what he paid for it about 12 years ago ($1800) . what would the weight be on it. is it worth that for junk price, the floor has a hole in it the size of a basketball ,fenders a couple holes. odometer shows 25000 miles he said that was the right miles. is the cab and the fenders the same as a B61. Thanks Ron Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/22946-b42-weight/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks RonHi Ron,With the bed on it I'm certain it would bring that across the scales. A B42 cab is virtually identical to a B61 with the exception of where the air tube penetrates the cowl unless an external air cleaner was mounted. It prolly has a EN-402 engine, (hard on fuel, low in power) if original.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
