tjc transport Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 last year i fired up the 02 F350 diesel plow truck for it's monthly run. looked out about 5 minutes later to see a red lake under the front of the truck running to the road. DANG IT!!! trans line to cooler sprung a leak. replaced both lines to cooler, filled trans, fired truck up, only to see more red blood leaking!! this time powerboost lines from steering cooler to pump, and pump to brake master. got all four lines new, put them on the front seat, and they are still sitting there!

My garage is pretty new and the cement floor looks really good. Anytime I spill oil I tried to get it picked up right away. I got a bottle of cement floor cleaner a while back. I have not tried it yet but when I get done with my rear round, I’m going to drive it out of there and see if I can scrub up some of the old oil spots good thing you had floor dry handy why are YOU putting floor cleaner on YOUR rear end ??? 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74800-my-1959-b61t-restorationmodification-build-thread/page/11/#findComment-582196 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingrider Posted yesterday at 01:45 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 01:45 AM Still don’t have my B home, but did make a little progress on possibly getting it done faster. Agreed to purchase a rolling frame and engine that is known to have run recently. Rear end was re-geared to do better on the highway, and it was converted to run budd style wheels. Was told it needs a clutch. Once I get things home, I can see what I have to work with… 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74800-my-1959-b61t-restorationmodification-build-thread/page/11/#findComment-585847 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingrider Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago Would love to! Except, building a house...Starting 1st of December, so all hands on deck to do that to get a place done to live before I can work on the trucks. Minnesota gets a tad cold coming up here, and the camper isn't all that warm. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74800-my-1959-b61t-restorationmodification-build-thread/page/11/#findComment-585912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Well when I bought mine I didn’t even have a place to put it I had to pay to store it then it took another 11 years just to have a permanent place to keep it then another 12 years to put up a shop hopefully your situation will not take that long .. I was starting to think I’d be dead by the time I started doing some serious work on it good luck and yes I’m well aware of your weather….

wingrider Posted 4 minutes ago Author Share Posted 4 minutes ago Yes, let's hope within the next year I can get to working on the truck. At least I have a place to put it here on the property. I have a tractor that a little boy wants to get running, (it is froze up) so that will also take priority over a truck that is in my condition.
