there is a guy here in Jersey that redid a B-81 tandem with a Bristol Donald dump body and modern driveline, and he runs stone out of the quarry almost every day.

Is Bristol Donald still in business? I see their beds a good bit on older Jersey and New England spec trucks (super heavy tandems) that come up for sale. Can't say that I have seen any newer trucks with one of their beds on it. The triple scope hoist is unmistakable.

Nope. They stopped making bodies about 15 years ago and just installed other company body's.

They sold the property last year.

1964 B75 with a mechanical E7, Fuller sp on Mack air ride/rears.  All the modern things a guy would want.    Dad hauls into the yard with it.   

E7 ?   What's it use as an intercooler ?  I'm a little envious of Dad by the way.

Uses the original radiator placement  for the inter-cooler.   Shutters are for looks and the actual radiator is behind the original one.    I’m working on one of my IH’s today.   I can try to remember to grab a pic

engine must be sitting partly in the cabin? We have an E6 in our B75 and it is very close to fire wall, so by my thinking the engine maybe inside by up to 12 inches, assuming a bit of clearance at the back of the engine. But a good result to fit the E7.
