  1. That’s a nice little truck.  I watched the video.  Not a whole lot of B20’s around.  You probably already know it was the smallest B model made but the sheet metal was the same as the bigger trucks.    It is not likely that anyone would want most of the part you are replacing unless someone is rebuilding a B20.  The engine has no guts and I assume it has hydraulic brakes.  The bumper is not original but the grill guard is and someone will want that.  The winch would have value too.  I would potentially buy the hub caps if you are willing to ship them. You might be better putting the cab on a newer chassis with everything you have planned.  I have never done a project like that.  Be careful if you have not.  A lot of nice trucks get taken apart and end up a pile of junk that never gets finished.  If you are going to get it running consider driving it around the way it is.  See what you think.  The problem with that is the brakes would need going through and that is a lot of work and expense that would be wasted if you replace the axles.  
    good luck.  Mike.

  2. I was told they offered a fiberglass tilt nose on the later B53’s.  I do not have literature to back this up.  I have seen several that look just like a regular B model hood without the seams.  There was a B61 near me with a fiberglass hood.  They claimed it was the first B6 built.  The serial number plate said B61T1000.  The stamp was ground off the frame.  I think there was some funny business going on there. Mike. 

  3. Do any of you guys live near Sandusky Ohio and maybe plan to come to Mack Day if it happens?   Or is anyone is coming this way with a truck anytime.   I would like to buy a radiator shell and don’t want to drive 7 hours each way.  I could meet somewhere closer, Carlisle, Hazleton.   I’m in Boyertown PA   Thanks.  Mike. 
    I know I posted in the wrong section but want people to see it.

    I was, but you beat me to that rearend so now I have other things to do, LOL. While this truck was mostly there when I found it, it was really used up. Everything I’ve worked on needs attention and that takes time. It wasn’t designed for construction, which is where it spent its final years. The good news is that it will be literally brand new when I’m done.

    With your skills you can just fire up your furnace and cast yourself a rear.
