I might go to this auction to see if the trailers sell cheap. Maybe buy some parts too. You can never have too many parts.

If you go see if you can, please see what the Chrysler Sno Runner goes for. Paul

There is something about that rig that stands out to me as odd.... The front axle looks too wide and the rails seem to come too far forward under the radiator for the bumper to mount to..... Am I wrong.... Is it sitting on an R chassis? Something looks off.

Actually, there is both a B-42 and a B-71 at this auction, they are painted similar. This is basically the same URL originally posted, so you don't have to scroll up:

Not much. Doors $50-80 each. Rough fenders only $20 or so. I bought the B75 cast radiator for $45 and only $5 or so for the shutters. Most of the parts weren't great though. I compete MH seat and another set of cushions went for $180. I could have used them but not at that price.

The B71 had 11.00x24 rubber.

I think only a little over $100, maybe $130. A B61 hood with all the trim including two Thermodyne emblems sold for $130 or so. Part of it was we knew each other so people would hold back a lite if their buddy was bidding.

nope, I think most everything sound like a good deal, just like every auction I DONT get to go to, everything goes cheap. any solid running B model is well worth that and those looked clean. as long as the frame and cabs were solid, even if the front sheet metal was rotted or junk, they were worth all of what they brought. you can always change out sheet metal.

The B42 had a not so nice frame splice. The B71 wasn't a bad deal for a rare truck. I know I would not have sold my parts for what these brought. The fuel tanks brought maybe $150. That was the only fuel tanks. No air tanks. I didn't stay to see the Z28 sell.
