Hey All, My name is Nate, and clearly I am new here. I recently bought a "project", I believe it is a 1959 Mack B61T that has seen better days. I have always wanted a Bulldog since my folks had an english bulldog. Rewind a couple months, and found one on our local Marketplace. No title, and not running. Had a flat bed on it that when they were removing it, it broke it's strap, and crashed into the drivers door. So, I am on the lookout for a decent door. I did get a lot of parts with the truck, but no door. I got two cabs with it as well. I also picked up a late 90's (I think it is a 99) Mack CH612 rolling chassis. Believe it was a wrecked truck that the engine and transmission was taken out of it. By the time I got ahold of it, it was missing the cab. So I have a 5th wheel plate and two flat tires. My ultimate goal is to put the B61 cab and nose on the CH frame, and have a more modern drivetrain to pull my tractors with legally. I'll try to add pictures of it if I can figure that out. Just wanted to say hello, and I plan to look around a bunch to get ideas for my project.

Matt, Just wanted to congratulate you on your fine achievement on restoring that beautiful truck. I can only hope that my project turns out to be half as good! I also want to thank you for your service...Hats off to you!
