Popular Post jackb61sx Posted January 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2014 Well got the truck back from the paint shop in December and the last two weekends have started to put the parts back on the truck. Have to say I do like the red frame and fuel tanks the more I see it done and with it out in the sun this week. This weekends plans are to re-attach the brackets for the rear fenders( that I went to the adult truck toy store to buy,,Berubes,,) picked up a set of one piece corregated stainless fenders and some lights for them. Here is what we have done so far, Headboard, 5th wheel plate and rear push plate all back on. 9 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34382-some-reassembly-required/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

felicello122 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I hate to be picky, why didn't your painter cover the air bag on the cab before he painted the frame?

jackb61sx Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Looks great!Any cracks In the frame when you got it?Looks like she has some rust,will she be worked again?No cracks in the frame, there was some rust underneath all the brackets, push bar and 5th wheel. The area between the frame rails had some so before it went to painter I took a whiz wheel and ran it along the seems then took a big grinder and ran that down the seem and cut out alot ot the scale. It is not perfect like our B-61 is, but that truck was dismanteled all the way to the ground. For a 26 year old New England truck that worked every day till August 2012 its in good shape. The days of work are all done for this truck I bought it just to show and move the B-61 around to shows. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34382-some-reassembly-required/#findComment-228643 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jackb61sx Posted March 18, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2014 An update of nearly completed work on truck over past year. I replaced straight pipes with mufflers, think they look better, sandblasted and painted frame, replaced all the lights on the headboard, new step tool box, new one piece fenders and other items. Just have to put center deck plate on and attach air lines and she is done. I am very happy with the red frame and fuel tanks just need to letter the doors and she will be all set. Attached are some before and now pics. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34382-some-reassembly-required/#findComment-237975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
