SuperB Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Hello everyone. I just bought my first truck a few weeks ago, a 1965 B61LST, and I'm really looking forward to being involved in the vintage truck hobby. I've been in the Mopar car hobby for many years, but I really enjoy the old trucks and this change of scenery will be fun. I live near the Macungie PA fairgrounds, and a couple years of walking around that show field really gave me the bug. I'll probably have a lot of questions for you guys (some of them might be stupid ones LOL), but I really appreciate having this forum available to help with my learning curve. Thanks for letting me sign up! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72479-new-bmt-member/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SuperB Posted February 19, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2023 Here's a picture of my truck. So far I've done some air system repair, removed the fuel tanks for cleaning, detailing, and fuel sender repair, and I'm tracking down a few leads on an air cleaner for it. There's more I'll have to do to make it reliably road-worthy and to make it what I want it to be, but I'm enjoying it. I've already gotten some great help from members here. Getting a building done for it is going to be a priority this spring too, it's just barely too tall to go in the detached garage. 8 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72479-new-bmt-member/#findComment-525657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Day Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Very nice B 61 I have a friend with a B 61 and I think he still has an extra air cleaner I will check with him tomorrow if time permits Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72479-new-bmt-member/#findComment-525660 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperB Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 There was an air cleaner on it when I bought the truck, but it was home made and not what I really wanted to keep on it.
