Thanks fellas,i agree with it all!

I've seen some guys on here saying about some trucks for sale at 15-20K they wanted restored money for them.Also that their truck would only be worth 10K after restoring them ect.My question is,where do you see restored B models selling for 10-20K?

That's one nice Superdog!

While I think that a B81 dump with 2 or 3 axles is pretty much the most beautiful truck ever built, and I hope I can find myself a nice one someday, I, too, have to admit that if I had to drive one as worker bee, I think I'd have to go with the Granite! I don't think you'll see many of them working in 2065, but frankly, there aren't really that many B81s working today either. And I think the Granite IS a pretty nice looking rig, even if not quite as rugged.... And it's got to be a lot more comfortable and easier on the shifting arm than the B on an 8 or 10 hour shift :-)
There's a decent amount of working B's out there, maybe just not in your direct vicinity.They old trucks seem to be making a comeback too,due to the cost of new ones and all the smog equipment

Wonder how long Palmer had it? My old job used to haul for them quite a bit, always had sharp looking trucks
Palmer keeps their trucks very nice,odd seeing one across the pond!

Price don't seem bad at all compared to the junkers I've seen sell for 5 grand or more!

Great job on that one!Not sure I'd agree with it being one or 2 or 3 with all the correct parts.I know of a few tucked away that are very untouched since new.You'd be amazed what's out there!

Good advice from SD. If you like it (B-75's are cool), go for it but I'd definitely negotiate. That rear end looks like a lot of work (can't really see what's holding the rear axle). Would be an "S" if a factory tandem, but lots were stretched. Good luck!
I'd love to find a B75 that's close to original,most I've seen have been stretched and repowered.

Nope. We're looking for a used aluminum 10' dump body for it. Besides, it's a lot easier to clean and work on if the body's off.
Good luck, that will be pricey if you can find a nice one.Any engine pics?

Good looking truck,will it be a tractor?

looks like you need to get the basic theory of driving a truck transmission down first. Don't worry about a tach, shifting at the lower rpm is making it a little more difficult also in my opinion.You're better off using no clutch than trying to shift it like a car,will not last long like that.

That is neat,should be restored or preserved!

Unless you have a time machine,believe you're SOL.Maybe time for a re power?

Just wondering,do you ever restore these trucks or just collect them as they are?

someone needs to buy the Worcester LJ and NOT restore it, just put it inside!
Maybe have it running and driving though.
