Thanks, fellas. That's it. That's the B65. Can't be very many left of them.

ETA: This isn't a "restoration," we are simply bringing the truck back to complete working order, as if it were 5-10 years old. Of course, we did a bunch of touch-up work like body work and paint, too, to make it look nice. It had a head gasket leak, so we decided to replace them, and while we are in there, we cleaned, painted, and polished the heads, valve covers, and manifolds, too.

We're hoping it runs like a top when we're done.

BTW, I would love to own a Mack of my own (doesn't really matter the model, although the Bs, Rs, and DMs are my favorite) someday.

Also, my uncle made his own B model pickup from a B40 cab and an '84 GMC 6.2L diesel 3/4 ton pickup. I'll about getting a pic of it.

Good looking B and nice to see it back "home" Welcome to the group. Paul

We're having a delay in putting the engine back together. While we were in there, we noticed a couple injector lines were in bad shape. Now we're looking for sources of those lines.

THat is one of the nicest conversions I've seen, all proportional. Sweet. Paul
