That being said, I think I would rather be driving the granite

B model for me

Great rubber for the money, Michelins budget line/joint venture. My buddy runs them on his RD triaxle.

Bring her up to max RPM's also.

I'd run a B81/DM800 full time in a heartbeat if given the chance

Typical northeast heavy hauler; the only thing missing is the big air piston on the front to raise the snow plow.

Nice pic.

Yup! These and B81's were all over in the "80's when I was a kid...

With trailer.

Heard it was for sale, didn't know it was a one owner!

Prob. comfy, but I couldn't handle modern looking items like that in my B

Those new KWPETES are soooo damn ugly....

I know him, sent him some pics and he got her running .

Good time to get a carry permit if haven't already. Our country is changing for the worse at a rapid rate

Less weight

Overpriced? I'd ask much more if it were mine (if it's as solid/straight as it looks in the pics) and has good mechanical's...

Prayers sent, hope all is well.

Has a 250 in it. Needs body work but pretty solid, friend of mine is on the fence about it.

B81s always look funny with single axles.

There, I said it.

You crazy this time Wobblin, more like B81 single axles look BAD ASS!!!

Wonder how long Palmer had it? My old job used to haul for them quite a bit, always had sharp looking trucks

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!

I know of serial number two and three up that way, haven't seen them though.

VERY,VERY nice...

I'd love to find a B75 that's close to original,most I've seen have been stretched and repowered.

That is true. I plan to do some things to mine, but stuff that would have been done in the "60's/"70's and keep it somewhat period correct for it's working era. No air ride or LED's for me . Hope you get that truck OP, has great potential!

"58/9 I'd bet. Any pics?

I had one of my B's since 1996. It was 2012 when the wife said ether scrap it or get it done. Well you know what I did. It only took 17 years 4 doner trucks and a ton of parts, time and way to much money... she found out just resently how much money... She got a new Corvette out of it!

In process and coming apart

Oct 2013 021 - Copy.JPG

Done and at first outing in PA

VERY nice! Did you put a V8 back in it?

Nice that it's an X! Any rust in the rails?

The B42 is double frame? What size rubber?

Often wondered myself, what the percentage of old cars/trucks make it back together after being torn down???
