Popular Post B MACK Posted June 27, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2016 I have a B71, and have seen picts of 71's on this site and in "wheels of time". Every 71 that I have seen has a small radiator with the sheet metal radiator shell. I believe the 71 is the only B that has the radiator that sticks out the front. I couldn't find any badges or ID plate. Could this be a B71 with that big cast radiator???? 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45804-is-this-a-b71/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 It could be a B71 that has had the radiator updated. Look for the VIN stamped on the RH frame rail under front fender near the rear spring hanger.

B MACK Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 I am not sure where this B is now, the photo is a year or two old. When I was checking this ole B out, the tag was no longer on the door and the frame was covered with grime. Wish I knew where it ended up.. I never gave it a thought of having a radiator upgrade. Thanks for the insight... Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45804-is-this-a-b71/#findComment-337838 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 B 61 with a B 75 radiator. Looks like they kept the 61 hood since it don't fit so well. I hope it cools better.

BillyT Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Some of you May have seen the beautiful Red b75 for sale in Washington state the radiater looks similar to the tanker in question. Kinda bizarre I'd rather have that mack than any 100k street rod I can think of! And I dig street rods!
