Popular Post hatcity Posted July 26, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2017 Friend of mine recently acquires this gem from the woods of Maine. Cab and frame # match. Has had a new hood as emblems say B-61. Also, may have had a motor transplant as it has a Thermodyne diesel. Quad box. Runs and drives and stops! Everything works-wipers(air op.) shutters, lites NO rust through, just surface stuff. All glass intact have to move more pics from phone to computer 11 Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50562-1962-b-42/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 if it still has the gas rears it will be a slow runner. terry 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50562-1962-b-42/#findComment-375790 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MACKTRUCKS4 Posted July 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2017 I also have a B42 that was repowered without the rears being changed. I think it has 7. ?? gears. Slower than slow. Maybe that's why it only has 89,000 miles on it. No one wanted to drive it. LOL 5 Quote Live every day like it's your last, because one of these days, it will be.

Vladislav Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Double-framed B42? Neat-looking beast at all.

Maddog13407 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 most B42 sx 's and some s's had double frame. most s's had a single frame with plates tho. the early ones with 20 speed direct baby quads were about 50mph trucks. we have a later one with an 18 speed and one with a 14 speed quad that are probably 60 64 mph trucks. old sayin with a B42 was always '' the bugs ran into the back window and not the windshield'' 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50562-1962-b-42/#findComment-376028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
