NoClueJoe66 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I haven't got to watch it yet, when i get off work I'll watch it. Look's alright, but a little goofy lookin' in the pictures I've seen though. Quote This message was brought to you by Hargraves Potted Meat Product.

storkmack Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I don't think the hood is long enough to a B-75. Brad Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2809-ruin-my-truck/#findComment-13672 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoClueJoe66 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I thought it was alright. What kind of heat and a/c system was that they put in it? Don't they realize that train set's gonna get messed up as your going down the road. I liked the color though. Quote This message was brought to you by Hargraves Potted Meat Product.

other dog Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Yeah,the truck was OK-the flat top looks way better,and I thought it was A good job overall,but the trainset-I just don't get that.I'd rather have my bed,but maybe it's retired to just shows and parades,and ain't nothing wrong with that.

terry Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I don't think the hood is long enough to a B-75. Brad In the early pics of that truck it had the regular B61 hood and radiator, it was probably changed some time in its life to the wider radiator. The B615 model had the bigger radiator,but the same length hood and no fender extensions.

Brian Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 That truck is a B-61 with the big radiator, this was available on most if not all of the diesel B-Models, I have seen a B-67 with the big radiator from the factory. If you watch the show again you will notice the rear facing hood scoop this idea was borrowed from the early maxidyne series R-Models etc. as the air intake for the tip turbine engines, and if you look close during the shots of installing the new A/C system you will see a tip turbine engine upgrade, making need for the bigger radiator to cool this setup in a work truck.

bulldog man Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 What kind of A/C System is that a Reddot? i Thought it was alright but how they took the sleeper tripped me out Never seen a B61 W/ the wide radiator i thought that started w/ the B613 & B67Later Quote You Cant Fix Stupid.

Freightrain Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I think the a/c unit was one of the aftermarket car units (Vintage Air?).Overall the truck looks tasteful on the outside, the blue interior of the sleeper has gotta GO! The train is a waste, but they say it's a local truck so they don't need the sleeper anymore.The hoodscoop was a FORD superduty unit(from back in the 70's). I've got one on my '69 F100. Kinda unique to use it, and wonder if it's for the tip turbine? Never did know what motor was in it? It's not a 673 for sure. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

I think the truck came out alright..... except for some of the mods. The train set is a complete waste , and the color baby blue in the sleeper was weird. Still looked cool when done. Different strokes for different folks. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2809-ruin-my-truck/#findComment-13834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
