B42 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Hi there everyone, I'm Kyle I'm 18 and from Michigan. I've been joining a lot of truck forums so if you see me somewhere else its most likely me.. Anyhow I don't own a Mack sadly but I do have a 1955 International RC180 Tractor Hauler Its rough though but at least complete... I hope to get it running and maybe then try to find a Mack I can enjoy as well... maybe a B20 or B42?. Here's are few photos of my international when I bought it, my plans are to keep transmission stock and adapt a Detroit Diesel to it, only if I can make it fit.

Jake86 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Welcome to BMT! I am a fellow Michigander and Mack enthusiast. I happen to know where a clean complete B model is, but it's a tandem tractor.
