New way made a air tag axle that stayed down all the time but you could adjust the amount of weight it carried by raising or lowering air pressure I have 1B-Model with this setup and 1 that I removed it from

Any pics,getting rid of the one you took off?

yup, bad thought. too nice of a frame to go welding an unneeded tag axle on the ass end of

That was the way it was done back then,though they weren't deemed un needed. I've got an LJ that someone made a tandem by welding a single axle cutoff from a A-50T. Least they kept it all Mack,I guess.

like Mike said, unneeded now for probably what you gonna use it for. needed back then when all the weight laws changed, probably alright if done right but I hate when someone cobbles on a nice frame

I hear ya,i've seen many a hacked frame.I just thought it would look cool,and be a neat "period correct" add on.If I did put one on it would be done right,as my frame is perfect and i'm super picky.I trust your judgement though more than most when it comes to B's,you don't miss a damn single detail when looking at a truck!

Stretch her out find a mercury alum sleeper and hit the road.

I'd love to Ray,but just couldn't do it to a perfect frame and nearly all original truck.I figured with a vintage tag axle it'd be period correct and I could remove it if I wanted.Just tossing idea's around...By the way,are those Mercury's hard to find???
