  1. AZB755V8 I'm in Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh so that's a little too far for me but thank you for the offer I'm going to try some junk yards or hopefully find something a little closer
  2. that looks real good Larry good pics of what I needed to see and it looks good how you followed the braces in the cab and how you made the pieces at the top of the cab thank you for all the great pics
  3. thanks Larry I think I'll have to check out some junk yards and see what they have may put out an add in the wanted section here see if somone has something I can use
  4. I didn't really think about cab bracing but I guess i could build a framework out of square tube to make a ridged pass through that should make the cab strong and allow me to attach a boot to
  5. thanks for all the responses I figure I'll use what ever I can find at a junk yard or on the cheap going with an old period correct may get pricy freightrain I would like to see pics of how you cut the cab it would help a lot 63 b mack if you pm me I can give you my number and you can text me pics any one can pm me for my number sometimes that's easier and again thanks to everyone
  6. thanks Brocky I can't tell from his pic but it looks like a 60 in 36 in is what I would have to go with I would like to see how he attached it to the cab
  7. thanks for you input guys ther is so many diffrent things to look at for the correct size to make it look like it should fit the truck and with a rounded cab to would be tough I think of you idea of moving the stacks up is the best route and I wouldn't want it much more above the cab and ya bigger than a 36 would put it back there pretty far but its just a toy truck so I don't pull a trailer or anything I guess my biggest thing I don't know if crawl through or walk in I have a nice cab don't want to cut it up and then be un happy with it I guess I need to see how others have done it to see if it's something I want to pull the trigger on thank you guys for your input I appreciate it
  8. Was kicking around the idea of adding a sleeper to the B not sure if I shoud go small or big depends on what I can can find at a good deal lol .Want to go flat top don't know if I should look for one cut for stacks or one that's not and adj my stacks to fit . How did you other guys cut the cab and attach it ? Home made boot ? can't find any good pics of the real meat and potatos of the job or what I should look for and pics or advice is greatly appreciated

  13. Hello all have a question and hoping I can get some answers I have a 673 that is natural aspirated I just added a turbo to .With the extra air it lacks in powe the truck never smoked before and I want to turn the pump up a bit to make it run a little better I have looked for a good pic of what to adjust but not exactly sure I know I should have changed the inj pump but don't have the one for a turbo I have a picture from the manual I'm including should I adj the screws marked 1 or the ones marked 2 and witch direction the manual really don't say I don't want to remove the pump to remove the screw from the front and I understand the adjustment is limited with the front screw left in any help or suggestions are welcome thanks Kevin
  14. thank you I'm still planing on switching the front because one side has a mack hub and the other is a lee style that looks way diffrent

  21. Hello all I have a 1962 b42 that I am installing an air ride cut off to the rear with hub pilot wheels .I want to swap out the entire front axle to hub pilot too I'm thinking it will be easier to find and axle and modify it to fit rather than finding hubs has anyone done this or know of something that would fit or does anyone have a stud pilot axle that would work? any brand is ok I would just like aluminum wheels all the way around any help is appreciated thanks
