Bigdogtrucker Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Prob the most unwanted B is the contour cab,esp. the short hoods...I suggest sitting in one before making an offer.

rsb502 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 ID buy it for the simple fact they are gone, when's the last time anybody saw more than maybe 1 a year.

j hancock Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I would look for a standard straight back cab B model. Lots of concave trucks were built as B67's and other models such as B42's and B65's. Even a B61 was available with the concave cab. It was a way to have a shorter bumper to back of cab measurement (BBC) and run a standard trailer. Lots of states had restrictive length laws years ago.

thomastractorsvc Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 My first two questions are, when was the last time it ran and how skinny are you? I have a B61 contour cab, don't eat any extra cheese burgers. Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Maddog13407 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 B model concave backs are out there but finding one not rotted to hell is getting pretty hard. if its decent, you fit in it, and are comfortable, your the only one that has to be happy. they hurt like a bitch when you bang your funny bone on the back window trim tho when you forget and go to shift. I think most were B67's. I have seen a few B61's with a concave back and one B65 in my days. never seen a B42 concave but it was an option.

Mike Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 How far away is it and is that the only way you can get it? Can it be driven to where it has to go?I had the same problem with a Concave that I was going to buy. it was going to cost me too much to have it sent to me. I'm a skinny boy and only way I can fit those cabs would be to install an 18" steering wheel.
