DastardlyDevices Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Hi Everyone, I am looking for some recommendations. We are restoring an early model Mack AC. We have the original cast wheels but as you can imagine the rubber needs to be replaced. Can anyone recommend a place to have this done? I am waiting on a quote from Cope Manufacturing and Overman Cushion Tire Co. but thought I'd see if anyone had found some other great place! Thanks!

chief doug Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I remember when a company I worked for did this, the rim is pressed on the spoke with a lot of tonnage. Because it was only a show truck we cut the rim and spread it slightly and rewelded it before the new rubber was vulcanized on so there was less pressing to reassemble Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50399-recommendations-for-hard-rubber-vulcanized-on-cast-wheels/#findComment-374300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
