Popular Post 41chevy Posted August 17, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2015 Looking at this B for sale with parts truck (ex oil field unit),never saw this type of set up for a tag. Anybody have ideas? Almost looks like a trailer unit with Quarter Elliptic springs. 5 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41388-b-with-odd-tag-axle/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamsterGrrrl Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Forget who made them, but those were fairly common in the 1950s. IIRC, it was an attempt to proportion the weight between the axles. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41388-b-with-odd-tag-axle/#findComment-300479 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadwayR Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Page & Page, as I recall some of those were adjustable, 2/3 on the driver, 1/3 on the tag. Popular in the 60's.

theakerstwo Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 This page and page could have a V belt pulley installed in place of the spacers between the wheels and a V belt installed to give you a twin screw drive. 1 Quote glenn akers Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41388-b-with-odd-tag-axle/#findComment-301005 Share on other sites More sharing options...
