Red Horse Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Hi everyone from Bolton MA. After a lot of hand wringing I wrote the check last week for a 1960 B-68X. The 46,000 lb GVW and the 11:00- 24's made me do it! "68" is a misnomer as somewhere in its life, someone took out the gas motor and the quad box and stuck a 673 and a Duplex in it. Be looking for a lot of dumb questions and thanks in advance for your help. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2736-just-jumped-in-the-water/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learned a lot about the truck from these forums. If I can help out - feel free to ask by Personal Message or here on the forums.Paul Van Scott Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2736-just-jumped-in-the-water/#findComment-13348 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Horse Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 Joe and Paul,thx for your responses. Trust me I won't be bashfull! I've actually only seen the truck once about a month ago and hope to get it hauled in during the week. Then I'll be getting into it - with the help of some knowledgeable buddies- and we will see what we have to work with.Bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2736-just-jumped-in-the-water/#findComment-13367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
