Arcnsparks Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hello All, Just wanted to introduce myself as the latest addition to the family! I've been watching ebay for some time now for an old project truck and when i ran across this one last week (Ebay B-83) something just felt right! Well after placing the winning bid with 11seconds left on the auction; my dad and I are heading up to see if we can get it running and drive it home. So come Monday i'll probably have a nice story to add the the "how you got your truck home" topic! The ebay auction has some pretty decent pictures and if anyone can shed any information at all on the truck i'd be very appreciative! My very first question is can anyone tell by the rather poor engine picture what it is? After looking at the info on Oldmacksrus I didn't see where a cummins 200 was ever listed...did he mean a 220? I'd never heard of a B-830 either but i believe that was another slight typo, since the vin is B83ST 1787. But anyways i plan on giving this the full resto treatment so I'm glad I found you guys and like it or not i'm hear to stay!

Freightrain Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Congrats on the purchase. Looks pretty good for the money. Seems those ol Cummins have fuel issues when they sit around too much(well any diesel for that matter). Usually something simple, just have to figure it out.Good luck with it.
