yarnall Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 I have some photos of Barletta B models in a junk yard in West Hazeto from around 2003. I should Try to find them. They were orange and black. A friend’s family has an off road park up there and had an orange and black N model water truck that must have come from Barletta. I don’t think I took a photo of that.

davehummell Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 I remember Bartetta's and I used to go past Pittston Trucking their fleet was all B models that I remember when I was living in Harding their one mechanic got killed when he was adding air to a split rim tire I knew the guy but I can't remember his name. They hauled ashes out of the Harding powerplant.

harrybarbon Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 Looks like a B615, with alloy radiator and high mounted air cleaner, so it would be a 1962-64 model, being the years of the B615 with the V8 - 864 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74848-old-photo-of-b-model-dump-and-driver-in-hazleton-pa-1960s/#findComment-563649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
