Popular Post Superdog Posted March 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2019 Here's his B67 rollback,it has a 237 and a quad,and his Superliner with a Cummins. He had a' '78 Superliner with a 60 in. Bentz sleeper,but its out east somewhere now. The trailer is his billboard in front of his shop,the "pickup"was one of his Dad's old wreckers,now Cummins powered,and another of his B61's,this one is a single axle,237 power if I remember right,he has another sleeper cab with a wrecker body,but only pic I have of it is really blurry 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56331-king-b-wrecker/#findComment-418873 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I'd love to have that quilted interior, including the door panels. Even though I put the new doors on and have fresh paint, I like door panels like that. Just classy looking. I think I could make the door panels, but the headliner is another thing. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
