Is there anyone making new radiators for the B models? I have a radiator but the steel brackets are pulled loose from the tanks and the steel is rotted away. Theres a radiator shop about 45 miles away but not sure if this one is worth saving. Also, are the radiators from a end673 and a 711 the same? Yes, Im getting manuals for the truck. Just trying to get a jump on parts.

Thanks in advance.

Drool button needed. BEAUTIFUL truck!

I like the truck 66dc, but I LOVE the trailer. Only thing better for me would be if they made a single axle detachable lowboy. That would be the nutz for me.

Whats the difference with the longer frame, or is it my imagination? Seems like the rear axle is further back on the truck.

My mom want's to sell my late Father's LJ's Both 53's. Single axial. Hard noise. Dad restored them as best he could. One looks great to my eye's, the other just average. One has a replacement  290 Cummins. The original engine is still there and ran when removed maybe 10 to 15 years ago. Dad just felt the original Cummins was under powered. The other has the original Mack diesel engine. Both trucks are in the Greenville SC area. Not sure of the price yet. I'm surfing the web for ideas. I'm new here. Not sure if you can contact me or not. I'll try and look back later. Both trucks have either the duplex or triplex transmissions. Not a truck guy and can't remember for sure.

I'd be interested too, but need pics and prices.

It would look even better in MY driveway. Bill (previous owner) said it was a Leeman (sp) chemical truck. Bill bought it in poor shape from the Bloomsburg PA area from an ex carpet mill?. He redid it with air ride driver and passenger seats. His wife wanted them, and air conditioning. Then she decided it rode too rough for her. I think he liked it, but it wasnt long after that, that his hip started getting REAL bad and had surgery a few years later. Then back surgery so it was probably good he sold it.

Thanks guys. Next time Im there ill pull the steering wheel and any other parts that may look decent. I think the truck is missing its wheels so most likely engine parts are going to be difficult. Does the cab tip on these or does the doghouse get removed to access the engine?

I'm on the search for a B model to call my own and in the meantime I found a MB Mack cabover that is pretty much ruined by a claw in a junkyard. Theres almost nothing salvageable on the truck. I was unable to reach the engine though. Anyway, the steering wheel on this truck is nice. It's the mint green color.  Does anyone know offhand if this wheel would fit a B? Also would any of these engine components fit a B? Looking to pick up pieces that I may need later on or maybe trade for parts I need. Thanks in advance from a new poster!
