I wasn’t sure about that either that does not look like an oil filter at best water filter Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74914-1953-mack-lj/page/4/#findComment-565133 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got out for a hell of a price for something that looks and runs that good especially the top end wow Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74914-1953-mack-lj/page/4/#findComment-565134 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted Wednesday at 02:16 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:16 PM Yes, he drove it home that same truck was for sale for way more than that a while back he just about stole it. I don’t know how he got it so cheap. I don’t think he knows either. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74914-1953-mack-lj/page/4/#findComment-565137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmackattack Posted Wednesday at 04:26 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:26 PM Very cool truck. Definitely Looks like it was set up for a heavy spec. Those are older mack rear axles with newer style top load differentials. Never knew you could interchange them. If the stamped ratio is correct, that's a 7.00 ratio. You can check by lifting the rear up rotate drive shaft and count how many times the shaft turns to get the wheel to do 1 full rotation. Obviously all those aftermarket air assist steering and filter housings etc are add ons. It definitely has character and somebody enjoyed improving it thru the years. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74914-1953-mack-lj/page/4/#findComment-565144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
