Popular Post Wobblin-Goblin Posted December 17, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2015 Just purchased a 1964 B81SX. It is very similar to last year's project ('Mater) in that both are '64s, both have 711s and Quads, and both are SX dump trucks. It will be a while before I can get on this one, but here it is. Last pic is the truck at its new home in CT. 21 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43156-b81sx-is-now-in-its-new-home/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmerrill0516 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Very nice. I've been spying that one from afar on Craig's list I believe. Looks like a good score. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43156-b81sx-is-now-in-its-new-home/#findComment-316190 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wobblin-Goblin Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 didja get the plow too?No. There will never be a plow on this truck while I am the owner. In fact, it may never plow again, because I intend to remove the plow frame off the front of the truck.

HarryS Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Very nice. Looks like it doesn't need as much love as Mater. Ditto on no plowing.

Gmerrill0516 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 You are just 90 miles south of me. I worked in that neck of the woods for a while a few years ago. Love the truck.

thomastractorsvc Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Congratulations on the new beast. How bad is it rust wise and the double or triple frame we talked about here but only speculated as to how much rust was in it since it was pushing snow.

Just weighed it this morning and it tipped the scales at 31,000lbs empty. For reference, 'Mater (my '64 B61SX) weighs 26,000lbs empty.I haven't gone over it with a fine-toothed comb, but as best as I can tell there is very little rust outside of surface stuff. This appears to be very solid and frame rails look in very good condition. Even the underneath of the dump body is in excellent condition. I was prepared to walk away from the truck if there was any significant rust or corrosion issues, but we couldn't find any outside of the bottom interior of the dump body where apparently some dirt (or salt?) sat for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43156-b81sx-is-now-in-its-new-home/#findComment-316281 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastractorsvc Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Well that is good news considering what it did in its former life.So does everything work the way it should? It was priced right on CL but I think a lot of folks like myself figured it had a lot of corrosion issues, knowing it had a plow hooked on her.
