I agree with Freightrain, you can do it, but there is more to it to make it "Right"  I have heard that you may even need to change the injectors and reset the pump as well as changing pistons and adding piston oilers.

Thanks a bunch I think I will stick with the naturally asperated set up. Sound like to much work & money. DT

You can just put the turbo on, but you'll need the pump redone to match to actually put the fuel needed to make power.

I've considered this, but don't want to screw up a nice running engine.  The non turbo motors don't have oil cooled pistons and that adds to the possibility of scoring up cylinders.

Not that it can't be done, and survive, but I'll just hold out for a new motor.....someday.

Thanks for the advice.

Hey everyone:

I was woundering is it do able to install a turbo onto a stock END673 Diesel or are there any special modifications needed to be made to the engine or the system? Woundering if I can juice up my B67 a bit.

Hey everyone, I have recently joined to see what info everyone has on good old B models.

I am 25 and live in Allentown, Pennsylvania just down the street from World Headquartes. I had just purchaced a 1961 B67 single screw to work on. It has its share of minor issues but not to many.

I have always had a passion for the B-Model, I grew up in a family my grandfater worked at the Headquartes in maintenace and My dad work on the fire line, then mounted cabs in Macungie and then ran the dyno there too.

Unfortunately he took the buy out when went to South Carolina.

So I found this great B-Model for a great deal and I hope to show tribute to my late grandfather who loved and the trucks. And to have my father help out and remenber the best times of .

That sounds great...I will start there. Is there any special place to purchace these types of batteries? Thanks for this info Barry.

Hey all.....I figured I would start asking around about the type of batteries to install in my B67. I would like to see if she'll fire up. Not sure of the starting sytem yet Pos or Neg, But any advice to get started would be greatly appreciated.
