  1. Engine in my "68 R611T is stamped T673. Anyone know the exact details on these?
  2. No I sold that, and my B75 a couple years ago. Had a few more in between but this one seems to be the most promising. I'm pretty excited about it, may turn it into a dump truck.
  3. Ray Sidella picked up for me, and got it running. Engine seems to run excellent thank God after a 30-year hibernation. The pump was stuck though, but to be expected.
  4. Have not posted in awhile, figured I would pop in and say hello. My current truck a 1968 R611T, was backed into a garage in 1989 and not taken out until late last year! 673 Turbo, 10 speed duplex and a Timken R170 rear. Was a Mushroom Transport truck new.
  5. BillyT PM me your number, I can get you the info. The truck is owned by my father and his business partner.
  6. Can't wait to see the finished truck. Gonna be for show only when done?
  7. Looks like they did a nice job building it.
  8. Got lucky and picked up a pretty nice hood for my "75 686, came off the exact year and model! When did they go to the smooth fenders without the "body line" in them?
  9. ZERO parts are made for those engines. There are guys who have N.O.S stuff around, be prepared to pay big money though if they'll sell...
  10. I say leave the cab/engine intact for now and focus on the rear frame rails. Make a nice "driver" and enjoy it, seen too many trucks pulled completely apart only never to be finished...Not saying that's what will happen, just my two cents
  11. Great job! Being an R685 shouldn't that be a 237 unless the engines been swapped?
  12. Do you need a CDL for antique tags in your state?
  13. There was a B fire truck cab/chassis on Craigslist not long ago here in GA, guy wanted crazy money for the condition...Don't remember if it was an open or closed cab?
  14. Gonna look more like "57! Where is this?
  15. I have two drivers side tanks, pretty sure one is spoken for. PM me if interested...
  16. Great looking trucks, please don't part them! Also advertise them on Facebook/Craigslist ect...you'll find homes for them!
  17. Thanks guys. Bought a real clean hood in TN, needed a size for USHIP.
  18. You'd ruin the truck putting in a different engine/trans...
  19. Good to hear, we'll patiently be waiting on the ships bringing them home...
