    heck, did B-models even have front brakes?
  2. Joey Mack
    I think his is the same, I did one a few years ago, it had tapered pins.. Just like your R model

    I totaly agree with DCW.. its a bit of labor, but I know I can do that axle within a work day, (as long as the beam and boss' are good and dont need machining).. do you have a shop and a 20Ton shop press? You dont have to pull the beam out as long as the eyes are good, which you will check with the new pin to observe fitment. Yes, micrometers are important, but you can do it with the pin.

    Skydawg,, Take a close look at the pictures I posted. the second one has specs that may be useful to the machine shop, when it comes to fitting the pins into the new bushings. I can e-mail them to you so you can print them. just post or P.M. your e-mail.. Jojo

    I wish I was smarter on these differences, but i think the liner protrusion is a different shape/style between E-6 and E-7. the 4V heads have a fire ring groove to seal the fire ring to the top of the liner, that I beleive the E-6 (2V) doesnt have.. Man I wish I could just blurt it out like I can on an E-Tech.. here are 2 pics from my books, E-6 + E-7 I was also thinking about bore diameter..

    I am leaning towards worn king pin bushings, he said both sides are sloppy. I hope these pics from a B-61 book I have helps, along with the great info DCW has posted.. Jojo

    You speak the truth DCW.. It bothers me that something I am very proud of, is easily dissolved. Hopefully we can help him figure out, and fix his issue..

    I'm sittin here thinkin about the last king pin job I did. It was over 2 years ago. It was for an '86 Super liner. I got the kit from Mack.. After reading back a few posts on this, it seems to me that in the short time I have been out of the truck repair business, everyday parts are quickly becoming hard to find or diss-continued. Now I wish I was a 'machinist' with a fully equipped shop.

    Keyser may have a kit for it.. I have seen several B-Model axles repaired at a Mack dealer up to about 4 years ago. I need to find a set for My '48 Int. as well.

    I really enjoy reading these. I love to see the history.. If I had a large library The Mack Truck would be the 'Featured' book..

    Do you have a bad maxi brake chamber

    Interesting article. I'm not sure on how to react. Our president is more concerned about his wealth over what's good for our country. So for me to think he is part of a positive ( anything) is hard to Believe.

    King pin bushings ?

    Pedo Joe doesnt care about Maui.. and I thought Hawaii is a liberal world, and voted for him.?

    Well Bob,,, if you ask me,, it seems like DCW is your go-to guy on this one.. 🍻

    when you clean the spot on the front really good, you will see the ratio is stamped into the housing.. just in case you wanted to know.
  20. Joey Mack
    Interesting question.. I know that if you have 18 bolt heads, its a no-go..
  21. Joey Mack
    What do you want to bet that Maui will be sold to China, for $24.00 in junk jewlery??
  22. Joey Mack
    I saw the picture of the rear frame. I didnt see a seam or joint where the frame was stretched.. Maybe Bob can take a look for a seam, and also look on the frame for the VIN. Mech, The VIN is on the right front frame rail, right? I know on newer trucks it is, but I cant remember on the 70's models.
  23. Joey Mack
    good thinking MECH.
  24. Joey Mack
    I can try.. I will be working from memory, so there is good chance I may not know,,,
  25. Joey Mack
    are you looking to change the saddles, or the box rubbers? Wheel seals will be easy. can you post a picture of the top of the carriers, and the the bowl in the banjo housing? i'm wondering if you have cast iron housings or steel housings.
