2stacksuperdog Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 That is exactly what the guy at the spring shop said. Probably the smartest move... but i' am stubborn and am going to try and fix it first. If i go this route i will roll a set of 46k or 52k camelback under there. I already measured it will go right in.I was gonna suggest if you going to change might as well just throw camelback in there. Theres a few companies up by us running camelback in KWs and Petes.

Joe Ditchkus Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I think the standard frame with for most trucks is 34" . Mack frame width is 33.3". You will need to have a spacer. Unless it changed on later model Macks. Joe D.

6368 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Tore into it today. My friend and i put in a full day,,,man this stuff is heavy. Tunion bearings... what trunion bearing. The main beam is shot. notice how you don't need to replace bushings you can just weld steel plate over them. Hope to have everything disassembled by the end of the weekend.

6368 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 That trunion shaft still isn't out. I' am tempted to cut it out but i need to know that i can get a replacement first. I called Stengle bros. they can get me the bushings but they need part numbers look up the other stuff. How do you look up parts for a brockway? i think it is an AC6u suspension but how do i know exactly.

1958 F.W.D. Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The Mack archives do have the Brockway archives, you would have to contact Don Schumacker at the Mack Museum with your serial number, and I am sure your suspension information would be in the file, however the backlog to archive requests is 6-8 weeks.

1958 F.W.D. Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Maybe ask the Stengal guys??? Get in there with a steam cleaner and clean the beejeesus out of the suspension and start taking pictures of any numbers that are cast into the components????

gearhead204 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 have you checked with a "axle master" I think is the name of the business. they have a portable lathe and can weld up and recut spindles, I'm thinking they might be able to put an adaptor on that stub and machine it in place. .......could be worth a phone call. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37655-brockway-progress/page/2/#findComment-273324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Like gearhead was saying,there is an outfit called "Axle Surgeons" that mostly replace spindles on drive and trailer axle housings,that I know of.
