Popular Post BERTRAM Posted July 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2017 I brought my B61 wrecker to the ATHS Long Island chapter show this past Saturday in Riverhead. It's the furthest I've ever driven it. I expected the worst, maybe a flat, maybe overheating, maybe catching on fire. (the truck being in mostly original condition) Made it from storage in Syosset all the way there and back. (approx.. 55 miles) The only problem was the batteries were both dead when I went to start it for the trip home. Luckily a great group of guys pitched in to help with a cummins powered jeep charging one battery and a 1970 Brockway wrecker jumping the battery on the other side. Got me going in short order. Thanks guys! It was a nice show and I met a bunch of nice people. 8 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50440-long-island-truck-show/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expensive ferry ride! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50440-long-island-truck-show/#findComment-374612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
h67st Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I like your wrecker--it looks like it's ready to hook up and go to work. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50440-long-island-truck-show/#findComment-374629 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryS Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I like it too. Sounds like all that is needed is batteries and you're good to go. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50440-long-island-truck-show/#findComment-374634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Looks like you had some nice iron to check out! With the pictures, if you can reduce the size of the image (pixels) through the computer editing program it will use less space on the BMT server or you can try a third party picture hosting site that can be linked to your post.

I like Irfanview...it's a free download and it's very easy to resize and save photos. You just hit Ctrl + R, select the size you want, and after that hit Ctrl + S to save. Doesn't take up a lot of space on your hard drive either.

james j neiweem Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Nice little B wrecker. That would look good with a shaker or Paccar in tow. That DM 800 is a beast.

bbob61 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Real sharp-lookin B wrecker; You just gotta bring it to more shows! Would love to see it up close and personal... and of course, meet the owner!
