leversole Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Yhanks. It should be easy to find, they were the same on all B models I think.There are two different styles, one for the external radiator, like on the B615 abnd B75, which has two screw holes, and the standard B with the radiator shell which has clips to hold it on...

yarnall Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Your truck looks great. Good work. I bought two B73 emblems at the Spring Melt last year. They were odd things to have at a fire truck flea market. It is a shame they are not B75 emblems. I don't either model.

Superdog Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I just remembered i have one from a B61,too bad it won't work!you can use one from a B61,just drill screw holes and put spacers behind so the screw doesn't pull the emblem in to far.The factory one are really tough to find.

JumperAndSon Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Nice project! My neighbor just bought a B73ST project that's in about the same condition as your B75 was. It's supposed to run and drive. Good luck and I hope to see more pictures.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24460-b-75-progress/page/2/#findComment-114573 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sorry, I have to ask, Is there any U models? Is that the guy you said has the B's with the frames and rears cut off behind the cab?No that's a different guy. He has at least 1 U model, I think.The bumper looks great. I'm looking forward to following your progress.Is he the guy that owns the silver and red R models?Yes, the silver ones with the two red stripes on the sides.

Mike Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Those tanks are going to look good and will set that truck off when you start the stripping process.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24460-b-75-progress/page/2/#findComment-115060 Share on other sites More sharing options...
