New Mack and Detroit Diesel Fans

[JumperAndSon]

Hello,

I'm Ben Jumper, I am sharing this account with my dad, Tim. I'm 13 years old, and have been into trucks my whole life. My dad has been around cars for a long ime, and therefore, so have I. We are just getting started in the semi truck world, and recently picked up a B model from a local salvage yard and are in the process of restoring it. We are huge fans of Two-Stroke Detroit Diesels. We have aquired a few already, and are always looking for more. We love trying new things, so working on diesels is really fun for us. We are always open to any suggestions or advice that anyone might have on Macks or Detroit Diesels. We love bieng a part of keeping the antique truck tradition alive.

Sincerely,

Ben

Hi Ben,

Glad to hear you have a B and love the two strokes. I learned on a 318 and had a 253 in a 440 JD.
