1977vega Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 What are the differences between them? Other than some intake piping, are the cowls different? I'm looking at a B755, but I don't think the cab is salvageable. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52635-b61-and-b75-cabs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Salvageable? I guess it depends how much you like to weld? LOL!! 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Hobert62 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) I think I rember a guy in the Philly area making floor pans for a bigger B and something about the floor pans being diffrent. But......my head gets stuff mixed up sometimes. Looks like a good canidate to make a convertible.

j hancock Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 The B-61 uses a CA 21 cab and the B-75 uses a CA 30 cab. Beyond what you mentioned, the B-75 has a sunken floor where the B-61 has a flat floor under the driver's feet. I believe the cab mounts are in the same position between each cab style. You could do a quick measure to double check. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

1977vega Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 He's pretty much stuck at 5k for it, but it's not worth that. Has a 300 with a triplex.

1977vega Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Pretty recent, but it depends on the day. Gotta catch him on the right day I guess.

Yeah, I wouldn't pay 5k unless everything else was in super nice shape. Looks like the rust is pretty bad.

1977vega Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 Are B80 series cabs similar to the 70 series? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52635-b61-and-b75-cabs/#findComment-393120 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Both have the sunken floor. If you have access to one that is a better deal than using a B-61 cab.
