Popular Post B MACK Posted May 6, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2017 Was driving past a shop in an old Montana oil patch and saw this B 80 series with short trailer with pipe on it. Not sure if it is running and being used or if just a yard a remnant of the past?? Caught my eye ,so had to take a picture... 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it look plain odd to my eyes.

B MACK Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Yeah, I'm not sure what model it is. Nobody was around, no badges on the hood and I didn't want to mess around and open the door to see if the ID tag was there. Don't know if gas or diesel. It looked nice and straight, had broken glass in driver door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) I know where that truck is. As far as I've seen it's just used to dolly trailers around the yard. Go a little farther north on I15 and there are a bunch of big 80 series trucks still in use parked on west side of freeway.

Odd, with the oil bath air filter and with the non existent piping, it could almost be a B80 converted from 707 gas to a diesel Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwoolbr Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 The truck has the wider radiator found on B815's or b87s. If you look close you can see a line down the middle of it separating the shutters. This is why it looks shorter then a standard B81 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get up that way very often, was coming back from Whitlash and it was less gravel than going straight to Hwy 2. If you get back up north, snap a pict or two of those other B-80's. Would love to see 'em. Lota cool stuff in Kevin also... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ditchkus Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I think it has smaller rubber on it than what we usually see on the B-80 Series. This looks like 20" or 22" not the usual 24" tube type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwoolbr Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Thanks for the pics. Is that a 673? Why the big radiator? The model number should be stamped on a tag inside one of the doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
