  1. You could add the B model data from the BMT wiki. Cab, engine, etc. - if nobody has a problem with that.
  2. Check with the supplier. You may have gotten the wrong piston and they have the right one.
  3. Agreed. It was no major design feat to put a big square hood on an R700. Mack was just matching what was becoming very popular in trucks at the time.
  4. There were 484 H-61's made. The H-61 came out first, then the H-63 and then the H-67. I did not know that there were H-61's with Cummins engines.
  5. You wouldn't have to be buying those things new when you will be using them very little. Watch for auctions and sales, Craigs List, lots of used stuff on eBay. Some rental places have some of the things you will need if you have one close enough.
  6. You weren't able to convince him that there would be no problem with the wheels?
  7. If that is the same one I remember, it was done long ago - when 57 chevys were still a dime a dozen. Focusing on the car.... is that a 57 Chevy?
  8. I had not heard of the 475 either. Some research shows that in 1977 some changes were made to the engine, including different heads, to meet emissions standards. With those changes, the model number was changed from 477 to 475. The displacement did not change. I agree that it would be a rare truck and good to have. Super Duty engine production ended in 1981.
  9. That one looks good the way it is. You could get the mechanicals in good condition and have a head turner truck.
  10. Nice. I knew of a 1966 B-61, and wouldn't expect there were very many of them.
  11. Two big gassers that I would like to have some time with are the GMC 637 V-8 and the White giesel.
  12. I think the White was a high cab short conventional or low cab forward, and would be compared to a Mack C model.
  13. Old brake fluid can. Old beer can
  14. Have you talked to Dick Lein about it? Tell more about it. Where was it last known to be? Who had it?
  15. I would think that one of the restoration parts companies would have them or something that would work. This is from Restoration Specialties: http://stores.restorationspecialties.com/trim-fasteners/
  16. If "It really looks cool" - show us pictures!!!
  17. While on the subject, there were two G-72's built. I guessed they would have had a 707 engine, but in light of this would they have had Chryslers too?
  18. There was a Wheels Of Time article that explained it, but I have no idea when it was.
  19. It has been discussed in truck forums before. There are supposed to be some Chevrolet parts manuals in existence that were printed for trucks with the John Deere engine. The word was that Caterpillar did not want the competition of Deere engines and worked to end the deal. I had thought it was an engine for trucks that were smaller than the Titan 90, and would have been those that used a 3208 Cat,
