1960 B-61 Mack

[FosterW]

I am involved in a Diesel Club at school. Our current project is a classic 1960 B-61 Mack single axle tractor. The goal of our project is to cosmetically restore this vehicle to its original external appearance, but "re-power" the vehicle with the most modern technology available to our industry. Our goal is to hit the local strip with it by the end of this year. This is where you come in. We need different parts and pieces to finish up some loose ends. If any of you guys (or gals) have a resource where some parts could be had for cheap or free that would be great!

P. S. I will be checking this thread regularly so if you have any comments or questions feel free.

MY Dad had a B-61 a LONG time ago. It was the 711 engine with the dupex trans.

Parts are getting hard to come by. Especially for free.
