41chevy Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 What is that thing on the B75?I was told it's a Quikway loader. Oil field use I believe since it's in Oklahoma.

Brocky Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Mr KS.This photo of the Howe Coleman conversion brings up the question.When did Mack discontinue making their own driven steering axle and go to the outside conversion equipment??Thanks, Brocky Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42531-a-few-classics/#findComment-310321 Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 Howe Coleman was built in troy N.y until the very late 80's. I understand American Coleman was a Colorado based company that did their units until the late 70's. There axles and parts are some what similar and both used the "moon"style cover. I think since the truck was an oil field unit and was moe than likely done in Colorado probably when tge Quikway was cobbled together for it.

Brocky Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 PaulI think (???) Howe Coleman in Troy / Albany was just a conversion company and the axles them selves were made in ColoradoHere is a link to a lot of Coleman info:http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/22610/Coleman-Trucks Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42531-a-few-classics/#findComment-310343 Share on other sites More sharing options...
