Popular Post Joe Ditchkus Posted May 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2015 Good luck with your new truck. In my opinion I think the beauty of any old truck is in the original power and drivetrain. I can drive a newer drivetrain in a truck about anytime. Going out on the road with a 673 with a du-plex or 6-71 Detroit with a Roadranger is part of the fun of owning one to me. This is just my opinion I still think "Spoke Wheels Rule" so take it from there. Where are you in Penna. I am in Lake Ariel,Pa. Thanks Joe D. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40175-first-b-model/#findComment-291140 Share on other sites More sharing options...

b615rich Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Congratulations! Good luck with it, can't beat the look of the B model! If it runs OK, why not leave the motor in there? Pedigree drivetrains are nice in classics (your call though, I've got a Cummins and a 13sp, but I sometimes wish it had the Mack drivetrain). , Or do you need more power..? Pictures soon I hope... 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40175-first-b-model/#findComment-291804 Share on other sites More sharing options...
