Stumpy(NH) Posted October 24, 2012 Report Posted October 24, 2012 Hey Fellas, I haven't been on much, but I have surely been using my B1FA! Figured I would check in and see if all is well. Here's a pic of the load of logs I brought home today. Quote
HanksB3B Posted October 24, 2012 Report Posted October 24, 2012 How do you think they'd do in my truck? My friends want to know?, Hank P.S. Nice to see a truck used as designed. Big-1-Fricken-Awesome? Quote
Stumpy(NH) Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Posted October 24, 2012 I'd probably not toss any logs on that sweetheart of a bed! LOL! Yup, I use my "Big 1 Fricken Awesome" as a real truck. Today I took the back roads home, mostly dirt. Was a great ride shifting and splitting gears, window down, gear whine...loud. Life is good. Love my truck!!! Quote

MBF Posted October 24, 2012 Report Posted October 24, 2012 Stumpy, I just bought this B2JA a couple of months ago w 18K original miles. Its also a 5 +2 w a 251. The dump body works fine, but I think I'm going to replace it with a flatbed to match my 1 ton. I just installed the parking lights tonight. Can you post some more pics of the front of your truck? What size rubber are you running on the it? Mike Quote

I love to see these trucks used for the work they were meant for. Do you have a sawmill? Please post more pictures. Never mind Hank.......he should have got an Escalade or maybe a Navigator.

Mike unless he changed it, his tires are 8.25 x 20, standard truck tires. about 36 inches in diameter, mounted. same as what mine has. mine looks similar, also a b-1 fa 152. interesting that yours has stainless grille bars and headlight doors. according to bunn, the big trucks didn't get those. wally Edited October 25, 2012 by wallytoo Quote

Here's a pic of the load of logs I brought home today. i brought a load home in mine last month. took the back roads, too, and enjoyed the split-shifting. ran out of gas going uphill. that compelled me to fix the gas gauge (actually, replace the tank unit with one from a mid-70s wagoneer). it was nice to be able to dump the wood out, rather than manually unload it - same went for the 5 yards of horse manure for the garden. wally Quote

Here's a pic of the load of logs I brought home today. Always appreciate pics like these. Don't be shy - keep 'em coming! It would be cool to have a 2013 calendar made for the club featuring all big trucks 1 ton and up! Quote

I want to know!!! 48D Quote
MBF Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 Mine was a firetruck in its original life in Chicopee, MA. Maybe that's why the ss strips. I've seen a 52 old firetruck that had the stainless whiskers and parking light housings sitting in a junkyard. Must have been an option on the big trucks. Mike Quote
wallytoo Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 ah, former firetruck. that makes sense for the stainless parts. the fenders and flares look to be in really good condition. mine are rough but serviceable. wally Quote

See if Gene can find one in one of his cross country voyages, and we'll meet up at the BBQ. However I'd want to stay a few days and drive her back with it mounted. Now there is a plan, Hank Quote
