2stacksuperdog Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Saw these two beasts in Niantic too. B-model looks in pretty good shape for a site truck. 2 Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stacksuperdog Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 saw this today too. My eyes almost poped out when i saw it. The truck is mint. Only 200,000 miles and in perfect shape. My dad even liked it, said it would be a good truck to pull lowboy or dump trailer around. 2 Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hicrop10 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I have been wanting to say this for quite awhile,you guys up in CT,MA and other parts north have it way better then us guys here in Philly.I can remember a time when there was nothing but B61-B81's running everywhere here in Philly.Now a days you can't find a Bmodel anywhere here in Philly.There was one that ran out of a quarry down in Chester County but I haven't seen that one in a few years.I would love to drive one of them old girls anytime over the newer trucks.Give me 2 sticks,2 windows down and the smell of exhaust and I'm good to go.All good things must come to a end sorry to say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one guy around Hartford that still runs a couple B models though. I never thought I'd see the day without DM's.

2stacksuperdog Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Maisano has some nice equipment. It like going back in time with their paving jobs. They keep busy with a R-model and a U-model moving equipment around all day. You're usually able to hear the lowboys going through town with straight pipes.
