fullfuel01 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 you probably know M.Harding from Quebec. He got one B-87 freshly restored. He got a B-81 2 axle and a B-8?? it's the big towing with the front driving axle. sure there's nothing for sale but maybe he know if another one exist...

Tombstone Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 If you live in Ct., I'm sure you've heard of Joseph Equipment in Manchester, NH. The last time I was there , he had about a dozen B8? in various stages of repair. He claims he won't part with any of them, but I got the impression money talks.(even if he won't sell you one of his ,I'm sure he can point you in the right direction).The address is 835 Gold St., phone# is 603-641-8608, website, www.josephequipment.com. If you make the trip to his shop make sure you check out his antique toy truck collection in his office. Good luck and happy hunting! Tombstone.

Freightrain Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I found a B87 with oil field bed on it in WV last week. Sitting in a truck repair joint all fenced in. Pretty sad looking piece, but usable.Place was locked up tight, and can't find phone number using internet. Can't find address either(pretty lame huh?). It was at Rt 21 and Rt 77 in WV, right behind fuel stop on NE side of highway. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

HK Trucking Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 And the B87 had a much larger (wider) radiator than the B81 or B83. Quote "If You Can't Shift It Smoothly, You Shouldn't Be Driving It" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
