Guess steering box is mounted further forward than B20 thru B60s? The truck has fender extensions the way it was made to B73/75. The cab sits further back than a standard B61 so the steering column has to be different. Probably the same style as used in B73. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70785-b-21-fire-truck/page/4/#findComment-520406 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorrisMe Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 Yeah it definitely has the bass, you can just feel it hitting on each cylinder. No need for throttle when moving around, plenty of torque.
