james j neiweem Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Since I originally meant to start the B-53 thread as a B-57 thread. There may be some interest in a B-57 thread. I know there were somecool looking B-57 mixers. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43021-b-57/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Yes, the hood on both the 57 and the 67 models is the short one.The B-57 was built from 1964-1966 with production of 281 units.

Hobert62 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 That things COOL! When I had mine cut in half with the from half of the frame up on jack stands I really thought about making it a twin screw and "jacking it up". That makes me kinda wish I would of had a taller garage so I could have.

Maddog13407 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 B67 was a tandem or a single axle, the same truck, a tandem was a B57 just like in the 50's a B60 was usually a single axle and a B62 was a tandem, then they came out with the B68 that covered and got rid of both models.
