Nice 1957 Freuhauf Stainless trailer with torsion bar suspension.

I might go to this auction to see if the trailers sell cheap. Maybe buy some parts too. You can never have too many parts.

[b615rich]

Those trailers look very cool. B-71?

If you go see if you can, please see what the Chrysler Sno Runner goes for. Paul

wow this guy must have collected a little bit of everything that was worth money.... bet that 69 Z goes over 35k if it has the original engine. id like to have those Fruehauf round dolly wheels myself.

[Superdog]

looks like some nice B model parts.

[seyser]

You guys out east sure have it good. Finding parts like that in the midwest is nearly impossible.

[Maddog13407]

finding parts in the east is hell to. the salt eats everything up

[General Ike]

There is something about that rig that stands out to me as odd.... The front axle looks too wide and the rails seem to come too far forward under the radiator for the bumper to mount to..... Am I wrong.... Is it sitting on an R chassis? Something looks off.

[Maddog13407]

nope, noticed the same thing. def has at least an axle swap.

Actually, there is both a B-42 and a B-71 at this auction, they are painted similar. This is basically the same URL originally posted, so you don't have to scroll up:

none of the prices were too bad,really.

[BOB DINGSDALE]

the B71 sure has a big rear end in it. 8 studs for axle cap,simarlar to 65000 drop in

[yarnall]

Not much. Doors $50-80 each. Rough fenders only $20 or so. I bought the B75 cast radiator for $45 and only $5 or so for the shutters. Most of the parts weren't great though. I compete MH seat and another set of cushions went for $180. I could have used them but not at that price.

The B71 had 11.00x24 rubber.

[Superdog]

Bargains for sure,you got a helluva deal on the radiator,do you remember what the fuel tank brought.

[yarnall]

I think only a little over $100, maybe $130. A B61 hood with all the trim including two Thermodyne emblems sold for $130 or so. Part of it was we knew each other so people would hold back a lite if their buddy was bidding.

[Maddog13407]

were there any B model air starter tanks or short pass side round 55 gallon fuel tanks Mike? and do you know what the quadbox and the 69 Z28 brought?

[Red Horse]

If the pix are any indication, seems to me those two were very good deals-am I alone in that thought?

[Maddog13407]

nope, I think most everything sound like a good deal, just like every auction I DONT get to go to, everything goes cheap. any solid running B model is well worth that and those looked clean. as long as the frame and cabs were solid, even if the front sheet metal was rotted or junk, they were worth all of what they brought. you can always change out sheet metal.

[yarnall]

The B42 had a not so nice frame splice. The B71 wasn't a bad deal for a rare truck. I know I would not have sold my parts for what these brought. The fuel tanks brought maybe $150. That was the only fuel tanks. No air tanks. I didn't stay to see the Z28 sell.
