vegadesign Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 just recently bought a b30 cab(not sure exactly of the year) and would like learn some more about this body style and help with parts if possible. i look forward to talking to everyone about these awesome trucks. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69234-hi-from-middle-tennessee/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleclutchinweasel Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 You're in the right place! Lots of B-model owners on here. Lots of good technical people to lean on, too.

Mike Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Welcome to Windfall. Look up your VIN# and call the Mack Museum, they can be a wealth of help and knowledge. Tell them what you have and go from there. I'm from Donelson. Good luck with your truck.

Draggin Wagon Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 If the serial number plate is still on right door, assuming the cab still has doors, go to B Model Registry on this site. You should be able to get reasonable estimate on year of manufacture. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69234-hi-from-middle-tennessee/#findComment-489843 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegadesign Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) looked all over for the vin plate and i see on the door where it use to be, looks like i have a b61 now since i just found a front clip for it and thats what the badge on the hood says.

terry Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Right frame rail just infront of rear spring hanger on steer axle, should be stamped there. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69234-hi-from-middle-tennessee/#findComment-505331 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 seems by the picture and the post . he bought a B-model CAB. guess that counts out the right frame rail numbers. unless he had removed the cab to work on it? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69234-hi-from-middle-tennessee/#findComment-505355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I think you’re right he’s just got the sheet metal he needs a lot more to do anything with it at this point it might as well buy a wrecked late model pick up and start there good luck.

vegadesign Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 just sheet metal, perfect blank slate for me, im a welder so fabricating new panels wont be an issue, ill be building a 2x4 steel frame. will be fairly short since im going to build a service bed for it and use it for my mobile repair business. unfortunately it wont be a diesel, but it will have a reliable 5.3ls in it. everything will be hand made including suspension. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69234-hi-from-middle-tennessee/#findComment-505740 Share on other sites More sharing options...
