Truckie Harbison Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Pretty sure the torsion bar on my 1970 F model cab is broke. Anyone know where I can get one. If not, anyone have any info on converting a torsion bar tilted cab to the newer hydraulic Jack style? I would really like to be able to tilt my cab to work on a few things.

Terry T Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Did you hit up Mikey? I sold my 70 F to Mike several years ago. Might be able to look it over and see if they could be made or there might be something laying around.

mowerman Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 All I can recommend order complete system for MH I’m sure everything will fit with little adjustments…: the torsion bar I’m sure is obsolete.. but don’t quote me ..: I had to change mine on my 62 but that was 40 years ago LA Mack actually had one in stock back then good luck bud… bob 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70523-f-model-cab-torsion-bar-issue/#findComment-511186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I got 1 new torsion bar with my ‘64 F715 but I need two. Watts could not come up with one. Let me know if you find a hoard. It sure is a pain in the ass tilting the cab.
