  1. ...and flip flops no less.
  2. Watt's has a wiring diagram (https://search.aol.com/aol/image;_ylt=AwrFGwlfXRFmyHwdOBRpCWVH;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzMEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Nj?q=mack+b+model+wiring+diagram&v_t=comsearch#id=0&iurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwattstruckcenter.com%2Fshop%2Fimage%2Fcache%2Fcatalog%2FProduct2%2Fb61wiring_diagram-930x1000.jpg&action=click) online. It shows gauge for headlights as 14.
  3. I'll confess to having to google. Interesting to know.
  4. That truck has "cool" written all over it! I like it.
  5. Looks like a Superliner in there too.

    Lookin' good. I didn't see the valve cover bolts in the pictures but have a question about them. I did valve cover gaskets a few months ago and noticed the bolts have a groove in the shank and am not sure what it is for. Is there a baffle that goes over the rockers? Or I thought an O ring but the bolt bottoms out before you get to that part.
  7. I agree but not before a good ass kickin'.
  8. The pitman arm finally came off using the recommended bigger puller, bfh, then some heat. I also had a hard time getting the steering shaft tube separated then there was a spacer between the steering box and frame that had to have been on since the truck was built in 1960. It had to come off before the box would come down and over the axle. It took lots of heat and prying enough to get a hydraulic spreader in and finally separate the spacer. Rather than tackle the rebuild I will have it rebuilt and hopefully not have to worry about missing something. Weller Truck Parts was recommended and they are close enough to not have to ship. They say a week to ten days turn around. They seem to be all over the country. Anybody had experience with them?
  9. That was going to be my next question. Hard to tell if it is tapered or just spline. I can see where some dirt was painted over when the frame was painted so that tells me it's probably been on there since new. I did not have to remove the pitman arm when the hyd steering assist was added. The puller should be here by the end of the week. Based on your's and Vlad's experience it looks like a three step process. Puller BFH and heat.
