Must have been custome built.

just picked up my new (old) home.

Cool, You will have to keep us up to date as you restore it.

Looks like it will be a good program, Will have to mark that on the calander.

Saw this twin steer Kenworth in Stokesdale,N.C. Monday turning off of rt. 158 onto 68 south.

Loading kyanite for Fremont under a full moon Monday night.

Took this in Appomattox today on the way back from getting my physical. Nice clear view of the mountains over the Wal-Mart. The 2 to the left are the Peaks of Otter, near Bedford.

Nice pics,Thanks for posting them.

Great looking art.

Great looking truck.

I started another photo gallery, hope they are of interest to some of you. Thanks Mike

my project is a 1961 B-61. we painted the engine this week. hope to start putting parts back on it next week. should be ready to put back in the frame in a week or two. i'll post another pick when we get all the parts and new hoses back on.

Looking good.

Round them up,load on rail car not air conditioned coach busses and back to mexico.

After 3 weeks of truck shopping following the untimely demise of his '09 CXU613,Dad came home with this today.Can't wait to see it hooked to his hog trailer.

Nice, Post pics with it hooked to trailer.

Awsome job. Have you had it for a test drive yet ?

Does anyone if there is a manufacturer or a vendor that sells

the original type stainless steel hood hinge in lengths for the various

B model hood panels? I could sure use a couple of new, or really straight

original pieces.

Thanks,

Paul Van Scott

Watts Mack has them in the B-Model store

Cool,Post pictures as you go along with the trandformation.

Great looking truck.

I think most people know who tweety is.

I have mine insured with Hagerty. Check Hagerty.com

There has been a dirt contractor hauling out of my and brothers pit the last couple of weeks,they are rebuilding a local township road. Digging out shit dirt

and hauling in fill sand,suppose to need like 17,000 yards of fill. They also have several other local trucks including my brothers two trucks hauling.

They have a Super Liner that use to be there lowboy truck,it is a V-8 cranked up to 600 Hp.

Check out the painting on the side of the hood. I didn't get all the saying in the pic. it reads (Were is that darn cat now)

Here are some more pictures of the trucks hauling.

One of the real positive points about the engine in the 1962 B is all the work that was put into it, I was also thinking about down the road that this engine

would have the longer life left since I plan on doing a total restoration on the 1959 B and just wouldn't want to end up having to do engine work later on

after the truck is restored.

should be a bolt in swap, everthing will interchange, and why not use the unishift if everything works all right. terry

Thanks for the reply terry,I am going to strongly consider doing the total swap.

Looking for some opinions on this.

My 59 B-61 has a 673 with 10 speed TRD 72. The engine runs good,but it has the idle problem that I did mention a couple weeks back, The thought is that maybe

the fuel pump is worn out,and needing rebuilding.It looks like the block has had some brazing done to it, put dose not leak water or anything.

Here's the question,

I also have a 62 B-61 that has a great running 711 with a TRDL 725 air uni-shift 10 speed. The previous owner had had some extensive motor work done

while he had it, Like new sleves, rings,rod bearings,cam bearings,resurfaced heads,cleaned and bead blasted pistions ect ,and had some transmissions work done.

There is a couple grand in receipts for work he had done. Should I swap the motor and transmission from the 1962 or just the motor ? will there be any issues with doing this ??

Thanks in advance.

Mike
