41chevy Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I've seen the BCR conversions but my question is, has anyone put a B body on an R Chassis?

Lmackattack Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 seen a few. mostly on the early R chassis with a 237 or 285. have to relocate the batt boxes. and if I recall move the fuel tanks forward Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24802-r-to-b/#findComment-116612 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Had one locally I saw a few years back. It just don't look right with the wide front axle and the tires sticking out. They had the cab jacked up 6-8inches to clear the exhaust. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

41chevy Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 That was easy. I was just speculating on my B mixer and my R roll over. I'll just leave the R til I find just the right cab for it and reconstruct it.
