Popular Post Wobblin-Goblin Posted November 27, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2015 About a month ago or so, my uncle bought a '63-'64 B42 w/673 and Duplex. The refurbishment started today with us pulling the dump body off. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wobblin-Goblin Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Good looking truck,will it be a tractor?Nope. We're looking for a used aluminum 10' dump body for it. Besides, it's a lot easier to clean and work on if the body's off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryS Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Nice truck. We are ready for another ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobblin-Goblin Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Did you find that one in RI? Any idea of its history?It had RI plates, but we bought it from someone in Oneco, CT. From what we understand, the owner had purchased it about 15 years ago or so, ran it for a little while, then parked it for the last dozen years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack58B42 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Ahh.... yeah, I saw the RI plates and wondered it had been nearby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobblin-Goblin Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Couple more pics of the B42 and the loader (1975 International 540). My uncle bought the loader last winter (while we were working on my B61) and refurbished it this summer. It has a two yard bucket. Between the two of us, we now have:B-model pickup'58 B65LT'63? B42X'64 B61SX'75 540 Int'l loader 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wobblin-Goblin Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 The B42 is double frame? What size rubber?Yep, B42X with a double frame. 11x20 rubber. Reasonably nice set up for hauling. Should make a very nice single axle dump truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdogtrucker Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Nice that it's an X! Any rust in the rails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobblin-Goblin Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Nice that it's an X! Any rust in the rails?Very little that we have seen. Not used for plowing, only hauling, so there isn't much corrosion on exterior items other than surface rust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wobblin-Goblin Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Stopped in at my uncle's place. He already started cleaning and painting the rear portion of the frame, springs, and wheel.Last couple of pics are a '51 Ford cabover (on a GMC dually chassis) with an MG roadster. Both are for sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wobblin-Goblin Posted December 12, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2015 Frame is painted from the cab back. Newer tires and wheels installed.
