Popular Post JTFormula Posted October 11, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2012 My wife and I were on rt 9 making our way from Dover NH to Wells ME and came across this B46 for sale. Looks like the frame was shortened with a torch. Gas motor (401?) and a straight 5 speed. Not in bad shape. Cab was pretty solid. Missing the passenger seat. I spoke with a kid who was pulling out of the driveway who gave me a little info and the owners name and phone number. Runs and drives well he said. $3,000 is the price but make an offer 3 Quote ~ JT Burkard ~ AKA Sweaty Mackwww.jtresto.com www.wickedreputation.netwww.jonathanthomasmotorcars.com Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27755-spotted-b46-for-sale-in-maine-while-on-vacation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTFormula Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 The thought is crossing my mind. Getting it home is the quandary. I didn't call the guy yet just so I don't do something stupid and buy a truck 350 miles from home without a plan. There's still the b42 in ct I want to look at.

I never paid attention to crossmembers though Matt.

thomastractorsvc Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 looks to me like it had a dumper or flat bed with a towing receiver hitch that was torched off, the frame ends did not look cut in the pictures.also looks like it has tube less tires Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Vladislav Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 The engine seems to me too little.But the price is good.Whole the truck looks very well.And the concave cab (Am I right?)

JTFormula Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 It was a former dump. Frame ends are chopped. I didn't get a call back from the owner yet Quote ~ JT Burkard ~ AKA Sweaty Mackwww.jtresto.com www.wickedreputation.netwww.jonathanthomasmotorcars.com Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27755-spotted-b46-for-sale-in-maine-while-on-vacation/#findComment-141389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 yes Vinny, i have wrenches a few B models in my day and can pretty much pinpoint a year of one withing reason. haha Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27755-spotted-b46-for-sale-in-maine-while-on-vacation/#findComment-141549 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phase 1 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 It must have originally been a tractor. I would expect that they were all B46T being that the short length and concave cab were for that purpose. There were not a lot of them built, so the reason for a low serial number.B46 1958-1965 473B462 1960-1965 110B4626 1960-1960 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27755-spotted-b46-for-sale-in-maine-while-on-vacation/#findComment-141585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 My B46 was a B46S,twin screw,flathead 401 with a 14 speed quad,heavy rears,frame and front axle,standard cab.From what I've been able to find out,it was a mixer chassis.

JTFormula Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Well I never got a phone call back from the seller before we left to return to NJ yesterday so the odds of me going back to Maine to persue purchase is slim. I hope to at least talk to the guy and get some info on it anyway if for anything to help spread the word. I did think it would have been an adventure to try and drive it back to NJ though.

Superdog Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 So it is in fact a B46 and not a B64? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27755-spotted-b46-for-sale-in-maine-while-on-vacation/#findComment-210541 Share on other sites More sharing options...

walts59 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I mostly did body and paint the carb was beyond fixing so I fabricated an adapter that fit a edelbrock carburetor on it there was one owner between the time you saw it and I picked it up it drives like a slab of granite but other than that it goes really good I will post more pics as I finish it up Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27755-spotted-b46-for-sale-in-maine-while-on-vacation/#findComment-210556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
