Maddog13407 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 63 bags? I hope you bought 30 pack of beer to go with that. that's usually what it takes me to get thru a big sandblasting job. its even better if you had a few to many the night before and have a bad headache...

jackb61sx Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 We used 1mm kiln dried sand on mine to blast away all the rust, was cheaper to get and worked pretty well, $300 for 3000lbs. Yours looks nice and neat, your frame looks pretty clean after you blasted it, nice work.Jack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36396-back-to-sandblasting-frame-rails/#findComment-253309 Share on other sites More sharing options...

6368 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Looks good. I always wondered why someone would spec a truck with mack rears and hendrickson suspension when they could have camelback?

Any insight? Second Mack I have set up this way,cheaper to maintain,but most importantly they are much more stable when loaded. Waited quite a while to find this long wheelbase Mack set up this way. 282" wheelbase,Hendrickson spring,400 Mack with a 8LL transmission. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36396-back-to-sandblasting-frame-rails/#findComment-254114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
