Bigdogtrucker Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Found a B67 with a big radiator,like my B75.Was also told the trans tag says "fuller roadmaster".(contour cab)Clean straight six wheel tractor in good mechanical shape.How rare is this truck with this rad. and trans?What type of value could it be worth???

j hancock Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 KoooL! Interesting find!I have only seen that combo in pictures.I would say pretty rare but not sure how much it would change the value. You would be the only one in the neighborhood with one!Not sure but I wonder if the Road Master was an early name for the Road Ranger. Reading a story in WOT a while back, it was mentioned that the early Fuller's would shift "up" well but almost impossible to go "down". Maybe after fixing the problem the name became Road Ranger?So, are you buying it or just window shopping?Have fun, Jim Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Bigdogtrucker Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Window shopping,but should have some cash to play with soon!I'm waiting for more pics,the owner told me the tag in the cab said roadmaster.I'm very curious as to the trans.

umodelnut Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 You should buy it. Ive never heard of such a beast B67 with a big radiator. Only B67s Ive seen have short nose regular radiator, and concave cab. But sometimes they might not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I've only seen one B67 with the big radiator. I don't remember if it had the concave cab or not. The options are independent. Value without pictures is tough $1500-8000. How is that for a nice big range? The big radiator would increase the value a little to someone like me and probably you.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Interesting and kind of rare too. I've seen a few units advertised with Eaton Fuller Roadmaster transmissions. One was a 1980 Astro from Idaho National Lab and another was a late 70's Crane. Both were 8 speeds with manual Hi Lo shifts instead of air shift. I do remember driving a B61T ractor unit that Syosset Sand had with an 8 speed that if you missed a down shift you had to stop and start over.

Joe Ditchkus Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Carolina Freight Carriers and some other carriers had B-67'S with cast radiator and Fuller Roadranger trans. The reason I was told was bigger radiator for more cooling. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Covert Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have seen that model wearing Mason-Dixon logo. Must have been at the end of the run for that particular model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 looks like a St Johnsbury truck or Carolina Freight, it has their signature real long fuel tank on it. only seen that tank on their trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I've got the radiator for one,never seen one in the flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Looks just like my engine. Has split intake manifolds. If it is, then it is a 673 P Thermodyne Diesel. At least it looks like it is all original inside and outside so far in your photos.Good find. I would try and ask him if he would take less. Make sure you drive it and see if it shifts good and brakes are ok. If you can get more photos.mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 most likely a 711 in it if it has the big radiator. alot of B67 seemed to have the 711 in them and regular b models with the 711 and 673T had the longer radiator that goes all the way to the bottom of the horse collar and is formed around the bottom radiator bolts and the top tank is angled to fit tight in the horse collar on top for more fluid. stanrard B61's had the smaller tanks on top and bottom . so it seems logical for it to have a 711 if they put the B75 (Kentucky radiator) as we call them here up north haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dockmen027 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Carolina Freight Carriers and some other carriers had B-67'S with cast radiator and Fuller Roadranger trans. The reason I was told was bigger radiator for more cooling. Joe D.The B-models that Carolina Freight had were bought second hand from Bell Lines of Charleston WV and used as city tractors, in the mid-eighties there were still a few left used as yard tractors with hyd-fifth wheels, saw several at the terminal in Avenal NJ.Schwerman Trucking is the only company that I ever heard of having Roadrangers in B-Models, and that was according to my Father.
