Evidently this truck fell victim to CARB. I saw an ad a few years ago for the cab and hood for sale,I was able to get the hood,but wasn't able to find a ride for the cab,too.

To my knowledge, the U700's indeed were built to accommodate vendor engines. I do believe that St. J did have some, yes, but Lord knows how many. The hoods were bigger (taller) to do this. See attached photos. The extra hood is visible in both the fenders and the narrow part of the hood top. I've been told that the Cummins 903 could not fit in a U700 because it was too wide. A Cat 3208 was the biggest V8 (other than a Mack V8) that could fit in there.

There were 2 different model designations for 903 powered U models,U659 and U661,one for turbocharged and one natural,they made 501 of the U659 and only 65 of the U661

B63 was built from 54 to 58 and was basically a heavier specd B61. The B53 was built from 62 to 66 and was originally design to be a dump or mixer chassis, it had a deeper channel frame,some did come with the lip extensions on the fenders,but not all.

those rims,just like anything else,were just as safe as the person changing them. Those type,and all other tube type rims for that matter,got a bad rep from inexperience.

Saves time and aggravation. Different scenario slightly but I sawed up some hoods this summer just to salvage what I could. Was supposed to get 4 hoods as part of a deal,2 R model,1 Superliner and 1 Valueliner, but in the process of moving them,his hired help managed to bust 3 of them up past the point of repair.

First 4 or 5 years of production, the shells were bolted to the headlight panels,and in my experience of taking apart ones that have been sitting years,they are a PITA. The later shells just had the bolts along top holding it to the radiator support,1 each side behind the hood latch,and 2 big screws at bottom holding it to the shutters. My suggestion if the fenders aren't your concern,take a Sawzall or torch. I hate to see parts get wasted if fenders are savable,but too far away for me to worry and at least your trying to save something

Well,
I finally got around to doing some work and inspection on the B, all I have to say is WOW, clean and rust free is about as well as I can describe it, other than the surface rust on the fender tops and grill guard, that's it.
As for the specs, It is a ENDT 675 with Jakes, it has a TRQ 720 quadraplex it has a 16K front axle and 65K rears with 9.34(!) gears.
I think it is an early Warren dump bed with a Warren underbody twin cylinder hoist with no hyd tank and all air shift controls.
I have all of the chrome badges and trim work for the hood, except I have 3 half bulldogs for the left side of the hood and none for the right.
It is also missing the Mack nameplate for the upper radiator tank, but other than that the truck is in excellent shape with 1008 hours and 22,800 miles showing, (I'm assuming sine the restoration).
I've got right side Bulldogs used or new,Mack nameplate also.

I'll get some pics up. No, it's not mint and ready to go cross country. But it's not bad either. It def needs some work but it runs and moves. They let some stuff go for a while. The clutch doesn't feel terrific and it's a city truck. You aren't getting on the interstate in something like this. Needs a battery box and a couple E31's. I'll make cables for it. The cab, glass and pump is worth the money. This would actually be a good export truck. Afghanistan or Sur America.
No such thing as a good export truck. They have enough of our old Macks.

Thats the correct engine color,its more of a dark orange than red,they only used it for a short time when they had to quit painting the Maxidynes gold., I havent changed oil in a big pan truck for along time,but im pretty sure its 12 gal.in the pan and 2 qt per filter.
