james j neiweem Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Beauty! Questions. Doesn't appear to have a long hood. Why the thermodyne emblam? Was it converted to diesel?

Yes, this was the Granite State show 2018. I was right there and didn't check the tag. Dunno why??? I don't believe it is an X though because it is running tubeless rubber and an X should have tube type 24" rubber. There is no tubeless rim for the 24" spoke as you know.

Was it converted to diesel? The B-70's didn't have a long hood. B-70 was the same hood length as the B-61. B-71 and up had longer hoods. Thermodyne represent overhead valves so the emblem can be on either gasoline or diesel engines with overhead valves. A B-20 with a flathead engine (valve in block) would be a Mack Magnadyne for example. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Maddog13407 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 if both Thermodyne emblems are on the front of the hood it also means it that at least the hood started out on a gas job overhead valve truck. Diesels always read Thermodyne Diesel on both sides not Diesel Thermodyne on the passenger side...

I'm jealous how straight they look, and the chrome grill.

james j neiweem Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Mr. Hancock thanks for the lesson. Where in NH are you located? My daughter lives in Durham. When I visit her I go truck spotting. Lots of dump activity up there. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54146-1957-mack-b70-dump-truck/#findComment-405173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 I am near Keene which is the other side of the state. Went to school at UNH/Durham several decades ago. The seacoast is always booming with activity plus Rt. 95 is the way in and out of Maine. Definitely lots to see. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
