Guys, thank you all for the feedback- No doubt the gas engine (3000 RPM) made a big difference vs a 2100 rpm diesel. It does have big rubber (11:00-24) but 9.05 is a killer. B61Fred, emailme at fd68brnco@aol.com with what yo have for gears. Rear is an RAD 111. Bob

My B-68X was built with TRQ 720 quadbox and 9.05 rears. At some point, someone put a 673 and a duplex in it. I have not driven it on the road but I tracked it down to the last guy who had it registered and he said it did about 35! I have the opportunity to get a quad box out of a B-42X but I'm assuming the quadbox in a gas job had a much lower torque rating and is a different animal. I will get the vin out of the B-42 but just curious if anyone had any ideas?? I have to believe that getting a quad will be a lot easier then finding a gear set for a RAD 111 rear. Bob

F-Mack, Thanks for the quick response.Bob

I was in a yard yesterday getting some items off a B-42. One thing I needed was the glove box door. I was running out of time and couldn't get the hinges loose, so I took the easy route and grabbed the door. In looking at my truck, the lip of the box opening has been bent- so whoever robbed my original door looks like they ripped it out. Were those hinges spot welded to the dash assembly? Bob

Rob, Actually I meant the frame from the door and I really hadn't looked at it before I posted the question. Someone gave me a better set off of a vehicle that has about 100 hornets living in it! The glass is good - a little "smoked" in a few spots-(both of mine are cracked) and the frames appear serviceable and even have the locks on them. Mine don't have locks and much of the channel is just about rusted out. Bob

New Harness Or Rebuild
Red Horse replied to Red Horse's topic in Electrical, Electronics and Lighting
Guys, thanks for your replies. I'm just getting into this and am trying to come up with a game plan- and a budget. Idid have 1300 bucks in mind as harness number but Paul I note you comment on Top o"the Hill. I will check them out. I have buddies who say- "no big deal". It won't be if I can get them to do it! -
Guys, I have a 1960 B-68X (converted to 673 with 12 volt) that has been off the road for probably 10 years. the wiring is virtually non existant. It appears that there are various places to order complete harnesses but a buddy of mine says.."why bother- its simple" . this thing was built as a dump and that is what it will be. Is the time savings offered by going the harness route worth the $$$?? Any thoughts?

Joe and Paul, thx for your responses. Trust me I won't be bashfull! I've actually only seen the truck once about a month ago and hope to get it hauled in during the week. Then I'll be getting into it - with the help of some knowledgeable buddies- and we will see what we have to work with. Bob

Hi everyone from Bolton MA. After a lot of hand wringing I wrote the check last week for a 1960 B-68X. The 46,000 lb GVW and the 11:00- 24's made me do it! "68" is a misnomer as somewhere in its life, someone took out the gas motor and the quad box and stuck a 673 and a Duplex in it. Be looking for a lot of dumb questions and thanks in advance for your help.
