Mike there used to be a black B61 hauling a grain trailer I would meet it in Indiana and ill it had a sleeper on it I think it was a mercury bunk . it had lots of polished on it sharp looking ride but it was a twin stack with a big shack on the back .. I remember it had straight pipes and it barked when the jake was used to slow down

  11. welcome to BMT glad to hear more fellow Canadians on board here also first diesel truck I drove was a 62 B61 with a small sleeper cag and it was a straight truck with a 24' box triples trans tandem on camelback suspension and 237 mack motor.. some one had put maxi's up on the frame from the front tandem axle twith a chain used to set them ( you also had to watch road terrain so you didn't set them accidently... I miss the old girl
  12. there should be no factory wiring for PTO as it is a aftermarket add on.. I would look at how the pto is hooked up it may be wired backwards for the light or cut into a sensor wire for your fuel peddle.. check the ground wires for the PTO also as it has happened to me in a fr---------r.. we found that the shop installed it had the light hooked to the lighter for the light
  13. is sgt still in operation now or were they bought out?
  14. you had it put up too high if you would have it down lower it would have worked better down on the baseboard hehe it works better there

    that ashtray for300 if he wanted that much he should have cleaned it up the inside of the ashtray looks well used maybe just dumped the butts out of it
  16. II was talking to Mr Schwind he was telling me this truck has not seen a winter running as most of his fleet are seasonal trucks this truck was overhauled from bumper to tail lights 2 -3 years ago so it would be worth the buying price wish I had the money..I would buy it the interior is very clean and not abused
  17. Hey boss the lights are out on the truck.. we cant go to the shop .. the truck is laying on them
  18. lebanon jct n KY I forget what it was called before the p---t took it over was a good spot to eat and fuel.. also grama's kitchen in mortons gap KY .. before that same bunch p----t took it over. there is a citgo fuelstop restraint with a shop just north of the I-81/I-64 turn off going south into NC I would stop there all the time.. I am surprised no one remembered the miniskirt jct truckstop in Pa
  19. the road commander was the same cab as the white western star cabover and the volvo coe also.. I saw them up close but never drove them
  20. there is a construction company and towing company had superliners and r models done in stars n stripes in phenoix area on north side of town they looked sharp
  21. back in 06 I had a 3406 b 425 rebuilt in tampa Cat in my western star cost me $16,000 .. then they built it as a 3406C not a B.. wrong rings and pistons and even wrong head valve settings it couldn't pull itself barely down the road took it back young fellow tried to put a computer to the motor when I asked him what he was doing he said looking for the plug in for the engine I told him to get the supervisor he come out and said they don't work on mechanical motors anymore just the electronic ones .. ended up costing me another week down in KY to have t rebuilt by Paducha cat they found the problems and fixed it but on the warranty dime this time
  22. I like the Teflon liner in a box it helps loads sliding out like the plastic we used plastic when hauling contaminated soil from environmental spills for the last company I worked for
  23. who ever done that needs a kick in the azz it looked like it could have been restored if the cab wasn't in too bad shape
  24. that would been a wetline and a blower on the truck maybe low mileage but high hours unloading on the engine.. the blower would been used for unloading dry bulk tankers or feed trailers
