rz761 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 hello, i am currently working on odds and ends on a brockway cabover. it is a 457 day cab but it is the same style as a F-model day cab. the cab does not tilt hydraulically, it operates by two torsion bars. it was very difficult to tilt so i figured one or both were broke. i took it apart and one is broke. i have not yet gone to my local mack garage to see if the part is still available. im guessing i will have no luck finding one there. is there anyone out there who is framiliar with these torsion bars and possibly have a replacement? let me know, thanks.richie Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/10032-f-model-day-cab-torsion-bar-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
theakerstwo Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 When you do the adjusting then set it were with out any thing in the cab it will raise about 4" by itself when you release the latch.Straight from the book.

rz761 Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 i know that, but its not going to do anything with one broke in two pieces. i am wondering if anyone out there has some spares kicking around then would like to sell.
