skydawg Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 I think the turn signal box was mounted on the dash to the left of the gauge cluster. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74800-my-1959-b61t-restorationmodification-build-thread/page/5/#findComment-563489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingrider Posted December 8 Author Share Posted December 8 (edited) Hard to say. It looks like it was mounted that way. Wrote to the Mack museum to see what the serial number could show me.

wingrider Posted December 8 Author Share Posted December 8 This one must have had a tilt bed on it. Has a Pto with levers coming in through the floor. Of course the pics don’t want to show.

wingrider Posted December 9 Author Share Posted December 9 It could be, seems to me there are some holes drilled in the dash. I’ll have to look more at it.

Of course the pics don’t want to show. We will try the pics again… The levers are not attached to anything, and it has been to cold to crawl under it to see if there is a PTO still under there.

wingrider Posted December 9 Author Share Posted December 9 Does anyone have a picture of how the turn signal switch is typically fastened to the dash?

wingrider Posted December 10 Author Share Posted December 10 Thanks! That makes way more sense now that I see it. I'll have to look and see what the holes look like in the dash on that side.

wingrider Posted December 14 Author Share Posted December 14 I figured I better get a title for this rig before much else is done, so that will be done in the new year. If that is successful, then I can work on getting it running, and work on the drivetrain and bodywork. Finally interior work will be completed. If I can’t get a title for it, then pieces will go for sale as I fix them up, and I can find another truck that hopefully has a title.

mowerman Posted December 14 Share Posted December 14 I don’t think titles are a problem you might have to hire a tow rig to take it to your local DMV for serial number verification good luck Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74800-my-1959-b61t-restorationmodification-build-thread/page/5/#findComment-563965 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingrider Posted December 14 Author Share Posted December 14 I think a picture will work in the little town the license place is. They are very forgiving vs other license locations the Twin cities offers. At least that is my hope.

wingrider Posted December 14 Author Share Posted December 14 Not sure how this comes apart, but perhaps it was on the dash at one point. Anyone have any thought as to what the red hose in the dash is meant to be? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74800-my-1959-b61t-restorationmodification-build-thread/page/5/#findComment-564002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
