ok i know Mack never offered THAT many B models with buds. where the heck are all you guys findin the front axles or is everyone changing them out with later model ones? i know the FA505 is common but no where are you findin a bud set of wheels for a FA517 or FF522 or larger like mine. im just curious. im a diehard spoke wheel guy myself but if the truck has buds, i prefer them to be steel buds. guess im not much for aluminum wheels on a B model.

Big 10-4 Maddog....."Aluminum is only good for tea kettles". Quote from an old fleet maintenance guy who worked for my company when I started in 1966. Guy who drove the circuit, when he got to the shop, pulled out his full length shop coat and his thick bound book that kept all his notes-no laptops!
