Popular Post leversole Posted September 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2014 Put a little effort towards what in my opinion, are the four things that any B model must have in good working order...1. Working throttle cable2. Working glove box hinges and latch3. Box style turn signals4. Unbroken latches for the vent windowsI have 2, 3, and 4...I have a good cable...built a bracket to hold it today, half the battle, tomorrow I will make the piece that goes on the throttle itself... 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37066-a-little-work-on-the-b/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I've bought one of those cable ends at my local Ace Hardware for the B C R's throttle.Lawn mowers use the same one.You prolly had more fun making one though,Leslie! And you did do some nice work,I might add! Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!
