Wasn't your Mack stolen not too long ago?

Yes but most guys are more familiar with it being the GA truck when in actuality it should be the LI Truck

Keeping SI as is and the DM800 as is and more than likely the U Model as is. Buy another DM800 and build into a Rizzo truck. Not sure which way to go yet on a winch truck, however the MA B81 could be a possability, it has the best cab of the 3 B 81's. The best runner as far as starting after long shut downs, holds air for 3 days, no oil leaks, cylinders for dump in best shape, is the GA truck.

I believe it will be the GA and Springfield trucks.

i know, Cardi out of RI did the job

This was bebore the Foxwoods Casino came in to town.

Were you interested in the GA B81, Did you see it at one time? I am thinking of selling 2 B81's.

Well I know I do have to cut a hole out for the gear and tap the drilled holes. Anyway, yes I prefer quadboxes but have to take the next best available unit.

Yes, Just have to drill some holes in the transmission and add a PTO to drive it and will be all set.

nice mixer

No I haven't given that up yet. I'm not worried about the transmission, the winch will probably never be used.

Going to add my 60 lb Tulsa winch behind cab so this will complete my winch truck which was originally planned for one of my B81's

Welcome, I do have a lot of mechanic manuals up to 1988 from early 70's will check...Paul

Yes, long story after being advised against it

very nice pics Tim, how fast were they traveling do you estimate?

Those are nice trucks, glad they have stayed in IN (James Dean country) You anywhere near Fairmount?

Hi Big Dog, What sate were you reffering to, NY or MA? Also, the fine cant be over a couple grand can it?

The way I understand it in MA is that if it is non commercial and registered as an antique and on the bottom of the door or somewhere else, it is lettered "THIS VEHICHLE NOT FOR HIRE" then a CDL is not required even if its over 26100 lbs.

lot of equipment there Matt

Rich, I believe 2 were only built, yes very sad.

The B-87 had a Cummins in it with a Spicer automatic transmission, I believe it was originally owned by Santi Campanella.
