Popular Post Willie dog Posted September 24, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2017 Got the engine and transmission assembled, painted and detailed. Now they are together and finally in their home. Still have a LONG WAY to go before it's first maiden voyage. 17 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51100-getting-heavier/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

russell t Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Looks great, and it is yours so polish away. Which engine are you using, 377, 401, or 402? If my memory is correct the 377 used an oil cooler and the double fan belts?

If my memory is correct the 377 used an oil cooler and the double fan belts? It's the 401. It has the dual belts and an oil cooler in the filter housing. It has a provision for coolant to pass around the housing. I like to add the details to make it look like I've actually done something. 😁 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51100-getting-heavier/#findComment-380525 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Wow..........I get SOOOO envious of guys that have trucks restored like this. Not that I would want to have to take care of it after, but sure do like them all shiny and new. All of which mine will NEVER be. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

russell t Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 willy, I am restoring a BM with rubber spring mounting pads similar to the front ones on your truck. I would like to know a source for these mounting pads if you were able to find any new ones.
