B model AWD Springs
41chevy replied to 41chevy's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Trans and transfer case are 1962 Mack, Driven Steer is from a 6x6 B model logger from Oregon. The Driven steer is with in 1 1/2 '' over all width from spring pad to spring pad to the B steer and the same width hub to hub. Same driven steer that was put in the B8136SX unit. Rear bogies are Mack SWD68 series. mainly I need leaf count, width and length of the leaves to have them made up. Basically I'm building a copy of a 8136 chassis. -
Don't even use it near the Va coast or in N.Y. but in Maine it's a god send to have a CB

Gathered most all of the parts needed to make my B mixer AWD. Got the correct driven steer axle, the correct trans with transfer case, both drive shafts, drag and centerlinks, but unable to get the part numbers or even the spring specs so I can have a spring shop make them up. Any info??

Nashville, Tenn. As for a healthy direction, first you need a "healthy government" something I do not see returning. Sadly I fear the divide is only going to get much, much worse.

You heard her tell how her parents emigrated to the U.S. from Puerto Rico and became citizens? No I fear they are grooming her to be president.

She did come up with the cow fart solution and the air travel solution. Soy milk, wild rice and Salmon is the only food needed because all the rest is unhealthy and blimps with solar powered electric motors can fly as fast and as far as airplanes. Looks like she bought the Obama unicorns.

Indoctrination instead of education, being a minority you are owned for the oppression and lack of opportunity but mainly lack of parental guidance because their parent(s) are only slightly older than them. .

Sure, just think how much time sitting for regen, sensor failures and other mandated EPA friendly additions the lower the dependability. I'll stick with my old stuff. Here is an example. Sandy and Irene did massive damage at Port of Egypt and Orient Point Ferry. I was eliminated from the jetty repairs because i had "old equipment that is probably not reliable" . Two weeks after the contractor started and spent 8 plus days with down new equipment, I was asked to take his contract, which I did at a 30% increase in cost to them. Newer is not alway better when it puts food on the table. My humble opinion.

. Harley-Davidson is Moving Jobs Offshore Despite Tax Cuts and Subsidies By J.Joseph. (Page 1 of 1 pages) 12/1/18 President Trump proclaimed that massive corporate tax cuts would keep jobs here in the USA. Harley-Davidson, the iconic U.S. motorcycle manufacturer, is using $700 million of its tax-cut money to buy back its own shares while closing its Kansas City plant and moving production offshore to Thailand. Trickle-down economics has played another trick on American workers. Payback Documents released recently by the Federal Reserve Board disclosed that the Fed lent Harley-Davidson $2.3 billion in 2008 and 2009 during the depths of the Great Recession. These documents show that the Federal Reserve purchased commercial paper from with its Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF) on 33 separate occasions from Harley. In other words, the Federal Government saved Harley-Davidson once again. Thirty-five years ago, President Ronald Reagan and Congress saved Harley by imposing massive import tariffs on Japanese motorcycles. By giving the sole American motorcycle maker some breathing room from competition to retool, Harley was able to get its act together and turn profitable. Yet, despite being twice bailed out by the Feds and given a billion-dollar tax bonus, Harley-Davidson turns around and closes a plant in Kansas City while opening one in Thailand. Thai Hogs Harley motorcycles are affectionately known as Hogs. In fact, Harley's stock symbol on the New York Stock Exchange is HOG. Harley is building a brand-new plant in Thailand with some of the windfall that it got from President Trump's corporate tax break. This new motorcycle assembly plant in Thailand's Rayong province, southeast of Bangkok, is scheduled to open later this year or early 2019. At the same time Harley is slashing 800 jobs and closing its Kansas City plant next year. Harley-Davidson said that it is opening a factory in Thailand to avoid that country's 60% tariff on U.S. motorcycles. President Trump should have jumped on this and negotiated with Thailand to reduce its tariff to the U.S. level of 2.4%. (Harley also built a factory in India in 2011 because India levies a 100% tax on imported motorcycles.) Harley is Not the Only Ungrateful Hog The U.S. government not only bailed out Harley twice, it bailed out General Motors and Chrysler Corporation.The GM bailout cost U.S. taxpayers $10 billion that it has never repaid, and never will. The 2008 American auto-industry bailout was intended to save American manufacturing jobs, not create jobs overseas. After the bailout GM has been importing Buicks from China, South Korea and Poland. China charges a 25% tariff on U.S. cars, while we only charge a 2.5% duty on cars imported from China. Chrysler, now owned by Fiat-Chrysler, was also bailed out in 2008. After the bailout, Chrysler, for the first time in history, imported Jeeps. Prior to 2016, all Jeeps were made in Toledo, Ohio. Fiat is now manufacturing the Jeep Renegade in Melfi, Italy. The European Union, which includes Italy, charges U.S. car importers a ten-percent duty, while we charge EU car imports only a 2.5% tariff. Congress Must Act The U.S. Constitution provides that Congress has the power to enact duties. Article I, Section 8, Clause 1. Congress has the power to enact reciprocal tariffs, so that our import taxes automatically go to the level charged by a foreign country. I have proposed the Chinese American Reciprocal Trade Act (CARTA) which would do just that. We can go further and enact a world-wide reciprocal-trade act. Free trade does not mean that we have to have the lowest tariffs in the world and every other country can charge high duties on American products. China is now a developed country and must deal with the United States on an equal footing. European countries are wealthy, many wealthier than the United States, and should allow American products in without high tariffs. Why should Tesla pay a ten-percent duty in Europe when Mercedes pays only a 2.5% import tax in the United States? Even with these high duties Tesla has become a best-seller in Germany and Norway. Tesla would export even more high-tech electric, American-made cars if other countries treated the United States as an equal trading partner.

Had a few 1960 Corvairs with gas heaters. The had an combustion blower for intake and to push out the exhaust, an injector nozzle, a spark plug and a set of points and coil.Fuel came in from the fuel pump with a 3/16 line. Burner was stainless steel. Got boku heat in less than a minute. When you come to look at the Packard I'll show you the GM Corvair gas heater in my Valykri

This is how I recall the 50's and 60's when I used to ride with my uncle when he worked for Walton P Davis in Locust Valley N.Y. Only time I ever road in a Sightliner. Scary and cool for a 12 year old.

Mid to late 1980's Nostalgia Gas states if it fits under a period rocker cover you can run it. I may end up buying 2 sets of tall covers and slice one set low and one set high and tig them together to get what I need if all else fails. Ran blowers since 1972 held a record at NY National, lean popped one off the tower @ 79 feet running an Alcohol funnycar. Got the distance award with that act. Ran a 4/71 on a 400 SBC on the street in 1976 in the same '55 I'm doing over now. King of the street racers then.

The Girdles are a new thing, hence the extra tall valve covers. With the 1.7 roller rockers and the bridge to lock the adjustment and stop and "flex"

Saw a driver do that to somebodies rig at a truck stop in Kentucky many years ago. I went in side and found whose rig it was and told him someone pulled his pin. For the life of me I will never understand someone being that malicious. I'd more than likely spend a few hours with the constable explaining how the weasel kept hitting his body on to my boot.
