$450, sounds like a good price to me. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1789191051637066/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_general&referral_story_type=general&tracking={"qid"%3A"-8594903624923069138"%2C"mf_story_key"%3A"7633824589226961945"%2C"top_level_post_id"%3A"7633824589226961945"%2C"commerce_rank_obj"%3A"{\"target_id\"%3A7633824589226961945%2C\"target_type\"%3A6%2C\"primary_position\"%3A18%2C\"ranking_signature\"%3A9089173456472623631%2C\"commerce_channel\"%3A501%2C\"value\"%3A0.00010638413247458%2C\"upsell_type\"%3A129%2C\"candidate_retrieval_source_map\"%3A{\"8769780349813100\"%3A3011%2C\"24334033409530125\"%3A701%2C\"9758009477587437\"%3A3547}%2C\"grouping_info\"%3Anull}"%2C"lightning_feed_qid"%3A"-8594978323038559566"%2C"lightning_feed_ranking_signature"%3A"9089173456472623631"}

Really sharp truck...I like those polished tube-type budds on the steer.

What I've done in the past is cut a slot like he's already done, make sure the thing is soaked thoroughly with penetrant, then air chisel the slot in the removing direction. You can peel a lot of them off that way, and often the rattling and oil will loosen the thing up before you peel it off. If you're careful you won't damage the stud.

Here's a video of a guy replacing broken torsion bars on an F model. He has 14 F models! He's got some really good videos on the tube of you.

No charge!

Early 60s? I was born in 63! I lived in farm country, northern Ohio in the 70s; we had a 4 person party line. One lady would give us a certain amount of time on a call, if she thought you should be done she'd pick up the receiver and ring a cowbell in the mouthpiece.

My dad bought a lot of parts from Mack for his trucks, they gave him a phone receiver cover with a bulldog on it. I don't know if I still have it...remember back in the day almost all phones were the same?

It is a torsion bar, makes it possible to tilt the cab by hand. No hydraulics for the cab tilt!

Good question...what's the difference between the two?

This is a nice looking truck, price seems reasonable. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/711679711647253/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks

Actually Paul I don't think I could BS as well as you!

I don't know if anybody on this site has experience with those ancient dogs.

My wife likes to use Shutterfly, you can load the files on their website and they'll print and ship them to you.

Facebook uses algorithms to decide who gets to stay and who goes, there are no human beings you can call when you have a problem. My brother got kicked off and he did absolutely nothing wrong. The sad thing is we're turning control of our world over to these machines.

Also has a 1941 Ford truck and a nice-looking Trailmobile van that would look great hooked to a classic tractor. https://www.auctionzip.com/cgi-bin/photopanel.cgi?listingid=4040709&category=0&zip=&kwd=

Aeroquip hose is tough, but the steel braid rusts and the rubber gets rotten. I used nylon on my entire truck (except for the air compressor line). It's not original but it's cheaper than Aeroquip or copper and much easier to work with (cuts with a utility knife). It's been standard on all truck air brakes for over 40 years.

I thought that was so the driver could see over all the wild animals leaping across the road!

You could call it the top trim on the hood.

$1,000 seems like a decent price. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3614965855470323/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Ad0488e9f-e0c8-4dfa-81ad-ad66b28137a3

You don't need front brakes on a firetruck, right? The important thing is to get there fast, not worry about stopping. 😉

Front brakes are optional; some of my trucks came from the factory without them. If necessary, you could plug the air lines and go without them. My Brockway front shoes were NLA, and these guys relined them for me. Did a nice job, and good prices.

The inner bearings were greased. When I built mine I omitted the center seal and made them both oil bath. Wheel seals today are much better than they were 70 years ago; I like the CR seals (made by SKF) where the rubber lip rotates in the steel housing. They're easy to install and hard to screw up.

This is a beautiful truck...$65k is a lot but you couldn't build one for that. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1341161086966188/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks
