id like that front axle and steering box out of that red one myself

nice lookin B, fenders are rough but with another set could be a nice set up ,steering wheel is probably the crowning jewel on this truck

whats the years on the R models?? the one has headlights high, other low, other low, and the one has th hood scoop for  a 285 or 300+ but  also has the dual snorkel air cleaner to....

good luck. Volvo has about put an end to and parts for older trucks

82 eastern R600 with 300 we had, had the hood with the tab and two screws in the other end. the 66 and 69 I have, have the 6 holes, somewhere in the middle they were different and I think the DMM was different also and shorter

I have often wondered about guys who put  a 237 or more in a B and some guys say it will suck the oil out of the oil bath and run on  and tell you to change to a dry type.. but then again the early R685's had oil bath air cleaners.....

just and fyi a gas job baby quad TRQ77 doesn't shift anywhere near as smooth as a diesel ''bigboy'' TRQ72 box

'Real Men' back then didn't know what a Chriopractor or a massage therapists was....

usually screw the nut back on and put and end wrench on that and the all to turn them out and in

gotta say I rarely ever use heat on tie rod ends, maybe for a second to get them to break loose, then let it cool and use free all or blaster. ruined too many tie rod tubes by pullin the threads out by heating them. usually this day and age its easier to just buy a tube and ends

pretty sure they didn't have ''full floating'' cone axles in 1986??

heard no mention of it on here this year at all...

maybe im missing something here... isn't the luxury of runnin an older truck that is mechanical a way to get around the eld????

look on the rear pass of rear housing, the flat part to the right of Mack stamped on the tube. should say 507 508 512 . the bolt pattern is all the same single or double reduction. even some newer  Mack rears that were off brand housings were the same bolt pattern. deciding factor is will your axle splines slip into the rear

237 has piston coolers.... so does the endt673c and 673b

Bullheaded that's an oddball that blue truck.  looks like a Loadstar car with an S series hood?? always like old Ih's myself always wanted an Ih pickup to drive around. those things were beasts for pickups

I mostly remember the inverted camelback with fuel and milk haulers in upstate ny and new England.  I wonder if there was a reason for this?

I rememeber when those escutcheons and inside Mack door handles were about 5-6 bucks a piece, and the escutcheons always came in a package of 4

so im curious, does this fit on the same rubber trunnion as say an old school 38 rear regular camelback? or is the trunnion tube higher to take up for the inverted springs?

agree with Larry, Fontaine aka (the rebel wheel) cause they were made Birmingham Alabama not in China like they are now a days are the only ones I ever seen with a  handle. they were about the most secure wheel ever made. lube it up

pics? what engine and what style rears?

I usually pour a quart of atf in each fuel tank of my B at fuel ups...….. use to run red oil in a 2006 f360 6.0 I drove. damn thing could see a snowflake and gel up.....

got 

good guy at cook brothers that say nla...

eastern R with western grille? shouldn't a r700 western have the weird bumper with the cut out for the extended grille?

no weird noises or shaked other than normal, I have never seen a  B61 that didn't shake and rattle. this motor was done in the late 80's and used very little in a dump truck. it sat. I put it in my B in early 2000's . it was always a stout motor ad very clean and tight. other than a head gasket I haven't done anything to it.  I did pry against the balancer a little while putting the belt on(some idiot when they built the truck, me forgot to put the spacer plates back in radiator crossmember so there was no room for the belt. I had to loosen crossmember up and pryed it out against the balancer to get belt it. im wondering if I could have bent the balancer?? the hub in the middle of the balancer is pretty think so im thinking not. I have a few711's laying around, thinkin of just swapping the balancer and see what it looks like. btw a balancer for a 711 is NLA from Mack.
