tornado427 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I have been rounding up all the pieces of the B-833 and found out that my cousins hauled off the radiator for scrap How hard will it be to find a replacement? are there any other models that are the same? also I was reading about some of you getting info about your trucks from some where, where could I find the info on my trucks? thanks, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 First thing you need to do is take a baseball bat to your cousin,preferably one wrapped in barbed wire.My '58 B-83 radiator is the same width as most of the early B-80 series,so one out of a B-81 should work,but B-80 series parts are few and far between.Most of the were construction trucks and got the hell beat out of them.

John Woge Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Doug, I know of one, maybe two , in junk yards here in NW Pa. . I don't know which B-80 series they are , or if they're any good, but they can probably be recored. Let me know. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great if you could get a hold of one for me, the only problem is that I would need you to store it for a while if possible, I am off work right now waiting on Back surgery, but when I go back to work I get up into PA quite regular, if you cant store it maybe one of my buddies could swing by and pick it up for me, dont know how happy they would be about packing it around for a couple of weeks though!! LOL any way let me know thanks, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in pretty rough shape right now as it was dismantled because of a broken frame luckily I have been able to round up almost all of the original parts, but its going to be quite a big project to get it looking original again. I am planning on putting log bunks, and trailer on it as it was used as a log truck by my Uncle back in the early 60's, then it was fitted with a Prentice log loader, thats how the frame got broke! any way thanks for the info, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those radiators probably won't go to far, so when I have time to stop, ( new 14 hour rule has been playing hell on my back road treasure hunts ) I'll get some photos and price. Where do you get to in PA ? E-mail me your e-mail address so we can talk in private . jtwoge@zoominternet.net , John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGioMack Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Doug,No problem. The guys at the museum are top notch !!Anyway, take lots of pictures and good luck with your rebuild.I am in the process of trying to get my truck running and hope that once she starts up, I can continue with my rebuild. (although, getting it started it a BIG part of my rebuild !! )Have fun ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
