Maddog13407 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 i saw a B47T at an auction in upstate ny about 10 years back, everyone was all over it so i left, found out it sold for $800 and wanted to shoot myself in the foot after. had dual 55 gallon round step tanks and a baby 673, which was a 465 i think, the Mack engine, not scania and an adapter plate with a baby quad behind it. only reason the baby quad lasted was the pump was turned down to 150 hp in the engine, real hill climber there haha. same guy went to another auction i was at and bought a B61 single axle with a monoshift, hole in the block, 4 brand new recapped back tired and a nice dump box for $200 bucks. another time there was a big crownd and i said screw it and left early. Dave Zsido in vermont had a B47 tandem axle for sale about 15 years ago, he gave it an amateur restoration, paint and a new chrome shell, had a rotten cab and he wanted $4500 for it.

Green Dash Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 and ordinarilly i would agree,,,im not a big fan of all that add on stuff,,,but this truck was absolutely immaculate...you could shave in the paint job alone..ground up restoration,,,took him ten years,did most of the work himself...and it was powered up with a bigger updated driveline,,,and this truck actually works,,,not just show,,,and believe it or not,,,even with all that chrome,,,the petes were still getting more attention,,,lol.incredible...but anyway this is generally what i prefer.lol.bobA shot of that R model was posted in someone's Macungie photos. Absolutely prefect, do you know what the current powertrain is? Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
