  1. . Superdog, In my search for restoration sites on old Macks I found your comments on old Macks with Detroits in them and particularly the B61 with the 8v92 in it. I bought the truck you spoke of about four years ago from a guy out of Bend,Oregon. He had owned it for a long time and just kept it in his garage. He did not build it and said he got it from Califorinia,I tried to find who built it but had no luck there.I MISTAKENLY!!!! thought I wanted to sell or trade it about a year ago to get a live floor trailer for my business but luckly I didn't since I had looked to buy or build a B61 forever.I have recently started to disassemble it and have the paint stripped to the metal,taking everything apart.It still has the 8v92 with a 13 speed,and airride suspension.It appears to have been put togeather over 20 years ago and lots of things have changed and/or improved in that time.I will be looking and listening for ways to improve this old B61 as we get further into it.I plan to eventually use it to pull a 35/50 ton detach to move equipment I use in disaster recovery work. All information and suggestions on inprovement in any asspect of rebuilding this truck by any knowledgeable sources out there will be greatly appreciated by myself and my guys working on the truck. As for now I must head back to the Florida Keys to finish my work with Wilma to try and make enough to pay for all of it. I will be back on line to ask some questions I have once I get down there where my laptop is. Hope to hear from other B61 folks soon. Best regards, Flashy Mack
