Popular Post GearUpJammer Posted 8 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 8 hours ago Always wanted a B Model and picked up this 57 almost a month ago.END673 and a Duplex.The truck sat for 5 years or so but after we got it home we pull started it the next day.New cables and batteries recently installed and now I got her to start on her own.Brakes next,then a fuel tank.She’s currently bottle fed out of a gas can.It will be a long term little by little restoration.Short term goal is to get it safe to drive and on the road.I’ve read these forums for years and they have been an invaluable resource.I’m looking forward to everyone’s knowledge and advice! 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74754-my-new-b61/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve s. Posted 55 minutes ago Share Posted 55 minutes ago It's nice to see another B model in good hands. Are you in PA ? I am finishing up a long term B model project of my own. I have accumulated a lot of extra parts that I no longer need.
