B75 vs LTL

[AZB755V8]

Most guys on here would agree that a LTL, B-75 or Superliner are true classics. In that order of age and scarcity. Also for parts availability, none to some. The wow factor is an original LTL. Think you would want an LTH that has steel instead of aluminum components. The Good LTL is beautiful and seen it in person but the only thing LTL is the sheet metal. Even my LTL has been repowered but all else is true 53 LTL.

 

Depends on what you want to get and pay for. But you are asking: If you like what you got find some nice sheet metal, be it LTL, B-75, Superliner and mount it on the frame and drivetrain you have already. There are many truck done that way, remember the BRC from Mack? You would have a one and only. There were 6x6 B-models but very few and no 6x6 LTL's. It would certainly be a standout. Just a thought and money ahead.

If you're looking for cool and rare maybe try a Diamond T. I saw this one at an auction the other day, the first one I've ever been around. Wow they look and feel well made! I don't know what It sold for but if I would have stayed I might have "accidentally" bought it

Harry, You are thinking to of red and silver LTL and bull rack of Kranik (sp???) Ranch some where in Texas.. I have seen it a couple of times at Macungie, and maybe York also???
