j hancock Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Yes it is but I was trying to keep your ownership of a Detroit Diesel powered rig quiet. Hmmmm..... Detroit and quiet don't go together! 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

james j neiweem Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I think the last B made was a B-53 or B-57 cement chassis. I thought I saw it in one of my Mack books.

hurstscrambler Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Nice, I have a soft spot for astros, my father ran one for some time and I spent alot of time in the passenger seat. His was a later one with the big grill and lower door handles.
