maint1 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Looks great. What is going on the back? Mikea flatbed, it is coming, probably not before York, but we will bring it anyway, put a flatbed on it put a tractor on the flatbed so that there is more room for another truck.

75T Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Did the truck have a dump body when you acquired it? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40013-took-the-b-for-a-drive/#findComment-289902 Share on other sites More sharing options...
maint1 Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Did the truck have a dump body when you acquired it?got the truck completely disassembled, no bed, the original owner was Morgan Engineering out of Alliance Ohio. Original paint still on the doors. I suspect it was a dump, as there is a PT0 on the tranny.

75T Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I have photos of the truck just after it was pulled out of long term storage. I was told it was only a one owner, Morgan, one driver,till the engine spun a bearing. Then for some reason the B-30 was taken to a GMC dealer for repairs, never completed. Sold to the owner where I passed by and seen it come out of 15 to 20 year storage. More to the story, very nice the little pup found a good home.
