I am the 2nd owner of this truck. I remember it hauling logs. It was a local truck to me. The original owner has passed away. I am not sure if he ever repowered it? When did the nhb 335 come out? If my memory is correct didn't you say you have the build sheet from the Mack museum? Would that tell you what engine it was built with?

B MACK Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 I was hoping it would. The build sheet just has NHB Cummins and a serial number. I'll look and compare build sheet and engine tag numbers again. I'm thinking they are the same, but not positive????

james j neiweem Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 That 335 is sure crammed in there. You can definitely see why a Cummins wouldn't fit in a standard B 61.

B MACK Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Not sure if should go to engine forum or stay here?? Rechecked some numbers on engine tag and build sheet yesterday... According to everything, my B71 was built with a Cummins NHB 335. I am surprised, I thought "55" would've been a little early for a 335. When I started driving there were still a few strong running NT 335's out there.

Wow, looks like you have a real piece of history there! Lots of power for the era.

AZB755V8 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 That is a nice truck like the colors and steel 5 holes. I know what the engine tag stamp says.... but that is more than likely not the original engine. it does have the newer style manifolds and has no piston coolers, or bosses for them, not normal, for a big HP 335. Most over 300HP Cummins had coolers and under did not. Love the 3 stick, 27 speed forward, 6 reverse, got that in my LTL, guys just look and shake their heads. Just Cool.
