    First I’ve gotta say thanks to everyone that has responded,thank you.I’m thinking that I will pull the frame and rears out of the building then spin it around and push it back in. This way the rear of truck is right at the door, that way I can use something big to pull them out.Like mattb73lt said his 58,000’s were 7,000 lbs, mine are 65,000’s.The first thing I will try today is to try and loosen them up,with some heat and the 1” airgun.If they don’t come loose I may just bag it.Tks again look forward for the pictures.

    Well I’m going for it.Breaking out the 1” airgun,if that doesn’t do it I’ll add a little heat to the nuts and hopefully they come off.

    The a frames stay attached to the bogies.I’m not talking about taking the leaf springs apart,once I remove the bogies I will be able to get everything blasted and painted.

    Mack’s,no removing the caps won’t do it.I have to remove the 10-1 1/2 locking nut and the 2 torque rods on top.Then I will be able to slide them out.

    crusieliner64, I don’t think any of the parts that may be worn out would be available.I am mostly doing this to get the paint job right.I know that no one will be crawling under the rears to look and the fifth wheel will cover most of the top but I will know.

    I am thinking of doing this to make the painting that much easier.Has anyone here done it before.It doesn’t look all that tough to do.My biggest concern is it has 65,000 lbs rears and canal back suspension.The truck has moved 100 ton before so I’m concerned with anything springing and not able to get it back together.

    As most of you know,I’m restoring my B87 tractor.Need some help the truck has power steering and I’m looking for one of these nuts.It’s in one of the cylinders for the power steering.I would even take the whole end.Tks for any help.

    Got everything blasted from the front all the way back to the front rear today.Will drag it outside and give it one more once over and also the underside of frame.Then I’ll get to the rear tandems and rear suspension ,then it will be time to call it quits for the sandblasting.Will get a picture or two when I drag it outside.It supposed to rain late today and tomorrow morning maybe so I won’t be dragging it outside.

    Going to finish the blasting inside the shop.I put up a portable tent over the truck,will be leaving the garage door open when blasting.Hopefully I will get the front spokes and brake drums off and the steering linkage.After it all off I will be able to clean out any blasting media that made it way into the brakes.Then I will start hand sanding the frame getting it ready for primer.Will get a picture tomorrow.
  18. hicrop10
    I may have figured it out about posting pictures.Will be doing some more blasting tomorrow.Hope to have it all done back to the front rear.
  19. hicrop10
    Will be back at it(sandblasting)tomorrow.I removed the front tandem tires,so I have a clear view.Would like to get it all done to the rear axle.Any suggestions on how I can post pictures,it says there is a server error.

  22. hicrop10

  23. hicrop10
    Yes I’m having problems with posting pictures Any help would be great.
  24. hicrop10
    Well here’s what I got done in about 6 hours over 2 days.I’m using the media that is called black beauty.Had 6 5 gallons pails of it for close to 10 years, never used it works good.Again time is what I have.
  25. hicrop10
    I hope you are right but I don’t think so.I will keep track.
