Glad the info was helpful. I have the same deal with the B75 and the straight hydraulic brain. The steering angle is better turning right than left. The original drag link has a nice factory bend for tire clearance.

A couple of links for some reading. Gives some tips and a link to a Bendix Brake catalog. Offset slack adjusters will probably be needed. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/38301-another-b81-build/?hl=another+b81 http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/33425-im-back-and-need-new-chambers/?hl=new+chambers

You expected something different? Like your proposed concept. Don't have a need for one, but think it would look decent with good power.

Could have been a Garrison unit that had a hydraulic "brain" drag link and a cylinder on the front axle or an Air-O Matic air assist steering system. http://www.straightlinesteering.com/Control%20Valves,%20Cylinder%20and%20Steering%20Cylinders.htm http://www.jatonkam35s.com/DeuceTechnicalManuals/MaradyneSB82805airassistinstallation.pdf

Put a mechanical adapter kit on mine. Wiring harnesses and sensors on ever moving part and bodily function are such a pita.

LOTS of great trucks and people. Hoping to go but will be truck-less this year.

Yeah, if you don't get the windshield frame, sheet metal hood side panels, grill and trim, it will be a looooooong restoration project. It is KoooL.

Ron White has great safety tips. 1. Get a helmet. 2. Put the helmet on. Hope things soon get back to normal.

If you can't stop in for a visit at least wave when you go by.

That's Nice!

Happy Birthday All!

Some FE-1575 have a built in residual check valves and some don't so you need to give your vendor the particular vehicle information.

Yes. It was changed to have more room for going to shows with his wife.

Man, now Hatcity will have to find the video again.....

Here is some previous discussion. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/19186-last-superliner/?hl=last+superliner It seems that Yaworski's is the last one and the truck that Gary Mahan has (which is an ex-Yaworski truck) is one of the last few built if I have read it correctly.

Tow it back. It might smooth out some of the crappy roads in this country.

Sounds good! Hope it continues for many miles.

Should run true with no wobble.

Along with selling tickets, how about "Pay For View"?

The government was involved....?

Thinking around 13,000 or so.

Very nice Jr.! Does it have the 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder engine?

Thanks for the info!

Customers effectively pay the tax for the corporation on inventory as well as other taxes. The corporation just is doing the collecting for the IRS. The customer is willing to spend the same or more for obsolete or classic parts to keep their stuff going. The corporation doesn't ever lower the price on an obsolete part even though the design cost and tooling cost have long since been amortized.

Could be a custom deal? It sure does seem that everyone is going to mid or high in the business. Well, that is fine when you are dealing with a big cab but a B is not a big cab. I must have bought the last Bostrom Viking T Bar seats in the world. Three short years later, the drivers shock blows and leaks fluid all over. (Insert joke now) I called various dealers and the Seat Specialists, etc. and a couple vendors even called direct to Bostrom. No shocks exist for a T Bar period. Gee, the T Bar has been out there for decades! Luckily, Freight Train Larry had a good used one in his parts department and got me back into business. Thanks again Larry! OK, morning rambling and bitching almost done. Why can't Bostrom and others have low, med, or high back options instead of everyone getting a high back 915? Or keep shocks? I have been involved with manufacturing and it doesn't cost that much to keep older inventory to keep your customers happy!
