Swish, IDK!! But does the extra 3 indicate a V8 engine????

besides theV-8 , basic 61's had 47,459 produced ('53=66). the B633 small number production of 486 ('56=58).

Beautiful trucks thanks for the picture and yes, I don’t have any idea. It might be an Australian thing the thing I get, I know almost nothing about a B model

I think a V8 engine was a B615, 633 was a turbo engine?  terry

Somebody on here posted tons of build sheets a while back I think it was double clutching weasel, but I’m not sure

i always thought the "3" was for cummins engine, just like the "5" was for V8

Well, according to Google, it’s built for heavy applications and it mainly just has a heavier frame and ordinarily use the END 673 with a 10 speed duplex

total agree. the 15  (615/ R615 etc usually designated a V8). not updated on the B's having Cummins = still having a B6-??? Cummins on a number of occasions brought the model to  a B7????. back then little attention was paid to the model designation . it was a B / R / U / whatever.  attention to the unit and drivetrain NOT what specific model it was called.
