You were supposed to have it to Mack day last year. Don’t bring it this year. I can’t go. This will be the first one I’ll miss in a bunch of years. 

Are you selling your B81?

It really looks great. I was surprised to see it together when you posted the photos a couple weeks ago. I had no idea you were so far along. Great work.  Mike. 

Might as well add it. 

You WILL have it ready for Macungie.   Good work!

You could try Cal Little at Pine Hill Trailer Sales in Hummelstown Pa. He mostly has 707 parts but might have some 510. 

Only 3 weeks to get it ready for Macungie.  I have faith in you. 

Doesn’t look too bad. You should buy it, Vlad.  

This is just a few miles from me.  I had hoped to get it cheap.  I guess that is not happening.  Mike 

I bet the FJ is a scam. The others are all too rough for me. Neat to see though. 

I understand what you are saying, but whole truck might take up less space than the pile of parts. Your list sounds pretty good. Maybe keep a wheel or two just in case and the rear crossmember if it is straight.   Or all crossmembers.  Air tanks too.   

Who rebuilt the carb?  I had trouble with mine. Replaced fuel pumps and filters them finally had the carb properly cleaned and rebuilt. It runs great since. Now if I could get it to stop better. 

The contour cab was an option. On several models, including the B67. Most people don’t want the contour cab because of the decreased room in the cab. It would decrease the uniqueness of the truck to put a flat back cab on but not the value.  Have fun with it.  Mike 

I don’t have spec sheet for the B421 but I saw one and it looked the same as the B42. I’ll have to get one so I can compare them side by side. Yoos’ has been repowered which complicates things.  Mike 

It depends which cf700. The CF719 has the 864 V8 with twin turbo.  The CF795 has the 865 and the CF797 had the 866. While the only made 14, 86 and 12 respectively, there were thousands and thousands of other trucks made with these engines. There are 864 parts around but they are hard to come by. The 865 and 866 parts have gotten very expensive. 

The 422 has an overhead valve rather the the flat head in the 42. I haven’t been able to figure out the 421. 

Maybe now is the right time to sell some trucks.

I'm looking for the following parts for a 1965 B61. 

One END711 18 stud cylinder head (Found! Thanks BR549)

A couple of the 3/4" head studs and nuts.

Original 6-bolt block-off plate for a 5-speed Duplex PTO opening.

Original B model battery box (with dual gas tanks) 

original oil bath air cleaner and inlet pipe (through the cab) for this? Mine looks like it came with the style that uses the separate mounting bracket that bolts to the cab (I have the bracket).  (Found! Thanks D-Day) 

Thanks in advance for any help

I just saw and air cleaner listed in Scrap Macks in Facebook.  No price. 

Welcome to the forum. I live in Douglassville and have a B70 has job and a B62 that was converted to diesel. Are you a member of ATCA?  They are the club that puts in the show in Macungie.  If you aren’t, you should join. I hope to meet you at Macungie.   Or look me up sooner Mike 

I’ve bought valves off eBay of all places. It’s worth a look. 

That great. I’m glad it being saved. Have fun with it Dan. Mike 

You and everyone else. I wish the reproduced them but no one does. Good luck in the hunt.
