Enck762 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Checked my paperwork B-81sx 1754. After looking at pics I see the difference in the two radiators. I popped the bulldog cap and you can see the top of the radiator core. Should there be a glass or was this an open slit(mine has no glass)? So i am guessing the plug in the radiator face on passenger side under hood is where i add antifreeze?Thanks,Brian Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29867-new-addition-b-81/page/2/#findComment-163645 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Open the radiator cap/dog base and pour the antifreeze in.I usually fill until the tubes start to get covered over.Jim Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

It was little warmer so i looked down in there and you were dead on with your first post. It was just way low and dry in that cavity. So i see that i have to fill the cavity dumbass.......Brian 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29867-new-addition-b-81/page/2/#findComment-163698 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Looks overall pretty solid. The back of the cab isn't all rotted off and patched up! The three bolts are still there.

Enck762 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Moving right along on the pre-trip . Serial number matches frame Where do i find ratio on rears. i don't see any tags(long gone). Is it stamped on them somewhere? Guy removed fifth and other stuff on back so she is ready to go. Double frame looks real good. has 12' of frame behind cab,did the old 13'6" bodies stick that far off back or was this a shorty? Thinking of trailering it but driving it home is tempting. Troopers barracks mile down the road. Hope they like old trucks!

j hancock Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 On the carrier, pass. side, there is a 45 degree slope toward the front of the truck. That is the location for the ratio to be stamped.Since the fifth wheel is not on should be able to look down on it. May have to remove grease and dirt etc.Jim Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
