20,000 Lb Front Axle

[rigchaser]

It's on 1981 Mack RM model, the truck has a 20,000 lb. front axle and I'm in search for a spindle for the truck...It's not going to be an easy task...any suggestions? The freakin' king pin measure 12" in length...help!!

If you have the build sheet for the truck, the process is

fairly simple at any Mack dealer to track down the

required spindle from the arrangement number.

There are probably several spindles that were used

in the 20,000# axle assemblies that were available from Mack.

And there was indeed more than one.

The truck is new enough, that if you do not have the info -

Mack may have it in their records. They should be able to

track the information with the truck serial number.

If not - the museum will have everything you need,

but you will have to wait for the information.

Trying to get parts like this from an outside source without the

part number or the arrangement number is a little risky in that

you may not get what you need. And, as with most used parts,

once you buy it - you own it!

Hope this helps.
