AX3 3QHF4148P9 3QH4 Thank You mikeThose are part numbers. Not axle type numbers. The 3QH number is probably for the beam itself. Look around the spring perch to dicipher which steer axle you have. It is probably an FA-505, 507, or something like that.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Freightrain Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Yup, if you found those numbers on the right side of axle just outside of the spring perch? Look directly below to see a STAMPED number like "FA-xxx" Might have to look closely, with wire brush and brake cleaner. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Larry, Before getting into my fuel filter project I scrapped the area were you guys mentioned but had no luck yet. Is this number a embossed or raised number like the others? mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14092-b-model-front-axle/#findComment-56000 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HK Trucking Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Embossed with a hand stamp.RobRob, is that similar to a "Tramp Stamp?.

Rob Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Similar, but opposite. The axle number is on the front side, a tramp stamp on the back side, (at least from what I've seen).

Rob Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Ill need pictures of said tramp stamps. Ill need a seat cover for the pass. seat in my B that has one. ha haHere's what you do: Go to one of those high quality internet porn sites and capture a favorite image, saving to your computer. Take your favorite image to an embroidery establishment and let them have the image digitized for their equipment to use. You can then have your seat covers made any size you like as the ratio/proportion remains the same no matter how the image is manipulated.Be sure to keep us posted on how you do.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

AJ thanks for the heads up on this matter, im grateful for the help. I believe your truck is clean enough to eat off of. I wish that more people would take photos of their trucks even if the grease is visible that is fine cause it's still a MACK. Thanks Again! mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14092-b-model-front-axle/#findComment-56227 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Again! mikei have taken a lot of pictures. i hope enough to get the truck back together. i took pics before i took a piece off, thru the process, and after disassembly. things always look different later. and i am not that knowledgable anyways concerning restorations. i transported the frame to our shop this weekend and we should be able to get the motor back in the frame this week. i took a bunch of pics for ya. will post as soon as we get all the pieces back on the engine. aj Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14092-b-model-front-axle/#findComment-56297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
