    I talked to Dallas yesterday, he was very helpful but they didn't have anything.

    Yeah, I'd hate to work on the right side of that engine.

    Are you in the Chicago area? Photos would really help sell your items.

    Vlad is da man! I sanded the paint off the shaft and areas that hold the shaft; now it's pretty tight. That epoxy primer is tough--it was barely scratched where the shaft was being pinched in there.

    I got my shoes relined, with tax right at $400 for 4 sets. Now all I need is two more drums; if anybody knows of a place that might have old brake drums on hand please let me know.

    Mine has rubber bushings; I hope they're not supposed to spin on the shaft. I won't be putting a lot of miles on this truck so hopefully the rough surface won't cause a problem. I'm going to try your sanding idea and see what happens.

    I agree on the progress...sometimes I'll spend hours on something and when you sit back and look at it, it doesn't look as hard as it actually was!

    In Huntington WV, $9,500. The ad says it has a 300 Mack with 13 speed. Looks like it's currently being used on the road. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/columbus/search/?query=mack&vertical=C2C&sort=BEST_MATCH

    I'm putting the bottom caps on my trunnion (SWDL56). They had one shim under each side of the caps; there was no gap when I took it apart. All the parts are what came out of it, they weren't too rusty. I sandblasted (didn't use aggressive grit) and primed everything. I've got them tightened to around 200 ft. lb. (spec on 7/8" fine #8 bolt is 600 ft. lb.) and there's still a gap under the caps...should I keep tightening? Does anyone have experience putting these together? I don't want to crack anything.

    Happy Birthday! I'll one-up J Hancock and put 2 ex. marks!!

    I was looking at my old springs, under the part number they're stamped "SP 11 59". Since the truck is a 1960 model, I believe that is the date code. Pretty good quality parts to still be on the truck after 60 years! The ends of the short leaves have worn pretty good grooves in the longer leaves.

    I hate to say it, but with that paint combo, wheels, and chrome it looks better than a '57 Ford or Chevy.

    Looks like some beautiful scenery!

    I found two NOS brake drums at Legacy Mack in Altoona; now if I can find two more I'll be in good shape. I called Air Brake in Moosic and I'm checking with Watts, does anyone know another place that might have old stuff on hand? The Mack number is 17QJ3176, Gunite 2210x or 8668x, Webb 63430F. It's for a 1960 SWDL56, 34,000 lb. tandem with spoke wheels and 16-1/2" x 6" brakes.

    Nice Bronco! I like the blue/white color scheme.

    It looks like a Volkswagen Beetle "kit truck".
  18. h67st
    It's an SWDL56, rated 34,000 lb. Pretty much all the used Mack springs off old trucks I've seen have been rusty or broken.
  19. h67st
    AZB, it looks like you have a beautiful building to keep a couple beautiful trucks in.

    I happened upon a pair of NOS Mack rear leaf springs, paid $615 each which was the best price I could find. Stengel Bros. and Dendoff Springs were both in that price range but they were aftermarket parts and 1-2 month lead time. I got the insulators and trunnion bushings from PAI, price was good and quality looks good. I got the coil springs from McMaster-Carr.

    That's a nice looking beach!

    If your tractor needs an IV, maybe it's time to say goodbye.

    I sure do like that chrome grille! One of the best-looking pickup body styles ever made.
  24. h67st
    Yeah, and those USPS tractors had short wheelbases...I'd hate to try to stay in the driver's seat on one of those.

    I didn't even know they made conventionals back then! That is one odd looking truck. I remember in the early 70's there was the "Big 4"...White, Freightliner, Autocar, and Western Star.
