Vladislav Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 What are those rear fenders? I don't remember any store offering such style. Look made of SS to me.

The rear fender are shiny because they are proud to be on the dogs butt in stead of a peterbut. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55604-1962-mack-b-61/#findComment-415759 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Looking good! I need to get the polisher after mine(same material) as mine are well worn after like 15 yrs of being out in the weather. I keep them washed, but they don't shine like that!

Diamond plate destroys buffer wheels. When my dad works on my boxes the strings fly off the wheels. We where told that a piece of carpet works good for hand polishing diamond plate. This is the polish we use to go over everything. It works pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55604-1962-mack-b-61/#findComment-416456 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purple polish is not a miricale polish or anything, but comparing it to something like mothers it's a lot easier.

doubleclutchinweasel Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I think it sucks. And the only way I can think of to fix its suckiness is to park it in my driveway. Then it would be cool. 1 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

mechohaulic Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 there's no doubt it's a beautiful truck. reality for me as a B-model it has too much bling. now if it were a LTL; RL700.that's different. a B61 series is the working force that built America. clean and polish great. that's a alot of alum to clean. I would be afraid of stepping on the tank to get in. just sayin. not meaning to offend anyone. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55604-1962-mack-b-61/#findComment-515251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
