Popular Post xdudebrahx Posted March 11, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2013 Went to take my friend to get his pickup truck at the shop and they had this cool B outside. Looked to be in decent shape. Tandem tractor with a little flatbed thing on it. They had a nicely restored U dump truck but I didn't take pics of it.Sorry for the crappy pics, didn't feel like getting out of my car lol. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30376-found-a-neat-b61-today/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 looks like a nice solid truck . also looks to be an ST and a 59 and newer with the air horns on the side and newer style fuel tank brackets Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30376-found-a-neat-b61-today/#findComment-171413 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know the year or any info on the U?No info on it other than it was dark blue and nicely done. I was following my friend out and I saw it across the lot.The place was right next to the old Tank Car manufacturing plant in Oreland, pa for anyone that's familiar.

xdudebrahx Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Here's a screenshot of it on google maps. U is at the bottom and you can see the blue B sitting under the trees at the top.

umodelnut Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Am I seeing things, or do I see more than one U model? They all look like they have offset cabs.

xdudebrahx Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Mike, indeed it is.Vinny, I'm sure that's an old google flyover. I only saw that blue one today.

hicrop10 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I checked out the B model today.All tires are flat,cab does have some rot.Doors and fenders aren't bad either.I am waiting for the owner to call me ,he wasn't there when i stopped.The fellow I did talk with said it has been there as long as he worked there,by the looks of it it has been parked for 5 or more years.

xdudebrahx Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 It would be cool if someone restored it! Is it my eyes or are the front tires tucked up into the fenders a little too much? I wondered about that when I first saw it. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30376-found-a-neat-b61-today/#findComment-171834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hicrop10 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 What throws me off is that the truck sit low.Now I know the tires are flat but I could look right into the cab.My B87 I need 2 milk crates to do that.It did have the diesel motor in it.I think that someone would need big $$$$ to restore this one.Like I said there's not whole lot of rot through,but then I didn't see the floor nor the back of cab real close.It's mostly a parts truck.

philatruck Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Nice Find! I think there was a Blue B61 Dumptruck that used to be off of State and Street Road in Bensalem near Meco's yard.
