Popular Post other dog Posted November 5, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2013 I left Chester,W.V. yesterday morning and went to load in Alliance,Oh. I took a drive up rt. 45 to see what I could see. I was expecting to see the usual Astro and some IH's, but I thought I saw a U model, so I slowed down...and they were DM's. But there were 3 B models parked in a row, so I slammed on the brakes and pulled over on the shoulder.I went over and took some quick pictures-The one on the right had a quadruplex , the B75 had a triplex, and the yellow B61 had a unishift trans. in it, first one of them i've seen. I didn't really take the time to give them a close look, to see why the one was $5,000 and the other 2 were much less, but the red one had less rust and was more complete, the other 2 had a lot of rust, missing parts like glass, battery boxes, fuel tanks, etc. All restorable, and a lot of good parts still there too.They had another parts truck too.And an MH. There was a truck parked right in front of it, so I couldn't get a good picture of it.A Transtar IH.Thought this was an H model cab inside the fence across the road. There was a crackerbox GMC in there, but I didn't see it until I was pulling away.This is where all these trucks are located, if anybody wanted to call. I have a few more pics. I didn't post too. 11 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

yarnall Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Any idea what the chevy cab over has for power? Not a 427 or it would have the V on the grill.

other dog Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Nice looking stuff there, all those cabovers looked good, and the Transtar straight truck looked extra good. And the prices I saw didn't seem to be outrageous.There was a Cargostar there with log racks on it too. I might stop and look around again sometime. I had to go load, was parked on the side of the road, and there was no one around. I don't like to snoop around too much when nobody's there. There's another and much bigger place back down at the junction of rt. 45 and 11 that has a lot more trucks but it looks to be mostly newer stuff. It's called West Point Truck Parts I believe.

Freightrain Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Yup, that's Brayden's place. Just talked with him Sunday at the NEO ATHS club auction. Never been down to his place and forget how much stuff he does have. I put a bug in his ear about needing some budd hubs for the front of my B model. I don't want to buy a complete truck to get them, even though he wants me to LOL! Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

countryboy5487 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 He has some neat interesting stuff. OD that cargostar i beleave is a ex usps truck if i remember correct and the transtar straight truck (black with yellow stripes) is in nice shape 318 10 or 13spd the rear of the frame was added to it and it has a aux trans that isnt hooked up. The b75 is nice but the motor is locked up the red tandem is suposed to be in good shape with tripple frame and the yellow b is suposed to start and drive Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33395-found-some-b-models/#findComment-215371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHfred Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I have talked to Braydon at Macungie and last at South Bend at the ATHS national show. The same Freightliner that OD posted appears to be behind his MH and beside his MH is an Astro (?) that he had for sale. His MH has air ride and he loves it. He said then that any truck he has is for sale except the MH. I have not had any dealings with him.
