Popular Post MACKTRUCKS4 Posted April 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2014 WARNING- DO NOT VIEW PICTURES IF YOU HAVE A HEART CONDITION, WEAK STOMACH, BECOME LIGHT HEADED, DIZZINESS, OR STANDING UP.In my project of "saving super" I had to cut the frame up or should I say what was left of the frame. I know, I know, No one likes to see trucks get cut up but I had to do it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 3 Quote Live every day like it's your last, because one of these days, it will be.

HarryS Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Looks like that is what they call a "frame off". Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35434-pictures-not-for-the-faint-of-heart/#findComment-242281 Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 After seeing the frame rails in the previous pictures, there was no fixing what was there. Only solution is the gas axe.Only place that had more spread was the Mustang Ranch. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

MACKTRUCKS4 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 You mean the expanding foam wasn't doing a good job of keeping everything together?!I think the foam was used to try to keep the spreading from getting worse, but as you can see, it didn't work.

Vladislav Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 After reading all the fore-words I was waiting to see anything but was impressed deep enough.Those pieces determine no way back indeed.Couldn't you send me 2-3 of them to make slightly up my poor Canadian 3/8 rails?Where do you plan to get new rails from?Are you going to build it a double again or a single one?

146wmike Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hey guys I'm in the process of buying a Superliner cab . It's still on the frame but the guy was going to cut the frame in front and back and scrap the rest . I am putting the cab on my 761 brockway . If there are people out there that want parts I ll get the whole thing , I just don't need it hanging around the shop but I do hate seeing it get cut up ! The only thing they want out of it is motor and tranny . You can contact me 860-227-4865 I'm in Ct.

Are you going to build it a double again or a single one?I have a 88 superliner on hold to restore but when the V-8 became available, I decided to make it a donor for the frame. The frame is in excellent condition for this project. V-8 was a double frame and the donor is also. 2 Quote Live every day like it's your last, because one of these days, it will be.

85snowdog Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Gotta love a double frame that looks like that. Pretty rare sight in my part of the world. 1 Quote Keith Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35434-pictures-not-for-the-faint-of-heart/#findComment-243142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 The one in the picture seems to me as a perfect double frame.Just no spread as far as i can see.There were many talks about them double's issues and I too liked the idea of drilling holes from an inside and putting grease fittings in inner rails. So you can fill up in between. Just don't greaze it before painting.Happily I have the single frame in my R. I also provided repair of the frame on my 1945 Mack. It had the single rails but with a big "butterfly" crossmember in the bogie area. There was a lot of rust and spread. I had it apart totally an sand blasted. Than painted everything separately and applied liquid seal in between. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35434-pictures-not-for-the-faint-of-heart/#findComment-243212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
