    A lot of stuff was made for Mack . I heard through the years such as the two stick transmission was made somewhere in Arizona or New Mexico for Mack . They didn’t actually produce them themselves, but they were specifically for Mack

    As I mentioned before jumpers kid told me you spend most of your time bullshitting with everybody, which is fine. That’s half the reason I go there too too bad we don’t live closer.

    Same here, Tom, but it’s hard to mingle and look at trucks and I was trying to see as much as I could two full days. It still wasn’t enough, but thanks for the thoughts…. Bob

    We have a very low budget tire shop right down the street. I’m going to talk to him and see if I can get some takeoffs already mounted container chassis use the same kind… bob

    Man that thing is the bomb… yes TJ that’s my exact point. You never know I have never seen one blow apart. But from what I heard, it usually happens when you’re mounting it…. Bob

    Wow, thanks for that. Truck is absolutely gorgeous. When I grew up in New England back on the 60s those things were everywhere mainly 10 wheel dump trucks… definitely one of my favorites..bob

    God love him ….. Yes, that’s the way it was no I am not gonna put a negative spin on this. I’m going to leave it alone. Glad I only have nine more weeks too many lazy kids not enough truck drivers left… bob

    But yes, I do remember the lock ring digging into the rim since I repaired a lot of them and as you mentioned, it’s almost impossible to blow apart. Most of us just feel better without them as a teenage kid I used to be able to finish up a tube repair in 15 minutes, that’s time from jacking up to jacking down …. Bob

    I heard 1959 prior to that they had the smaller version that only had one single arm and yes, I know you know what I’m talking about. Every little bit helps. Let’s keep up the good work….bob

    I just worry about age and hairline cracks that you can’t see the front ones. Not sure why I have explain myself about 60 year old rims beat to death on mostly off road operations…. lock ring is pointing right at you also don’t feel comfortable working in front of it at all . I’ve never seen one blow apart, but they can do some healthy damage… if you prefer those…. Go for it most of us do not… and yes, I worked at a tire shop and 73 and changed quite a few of them didn’t even use a cage those days….. As far as painting rims, they always look good with hubs black or color of truck.. bob

    I believe I’m changing the front tires to tubeless rims split rims are very dangerous. I’m thinking of doing that with mine just the front tires. I used to change them and I was a teenage kid in 73 at 68 . Don’t feel so comfortable.around them … bob
