    without going to a lot of remanufacturing of the booster bracket you will be better off to find a couple of the remote spring brakes that MGM .B/W made with rod or chain attached to the slack adjuster. piggy back type won't fit o factory brackets .

    seen a dockumentry on a line haul driver down under and the big concerne was fuel temp on long hard pulls. raising a cab up like that makes sense when you have to do any work under there. n/a trucks are mounted to low and you can't even see under them. I've often thought that the engineres should be the mechanics after they design something.

    don't what it went for but my friend in b.c. got. waiting for chassis number
  5. BOB DINGSDALE
    There were a lot of LT's up here on Vancouver Island of S&S trucking with HALL-SCOTT engines chassis numbers 1011 - 1017 and quite a few on the lower mainland with 707 engines chassis numbers lt-2d1224 & lt-2d1225. These were log trucks with off high way suspentions 11 & 12 foot bunks and about 25 ton trailers.Pictures show them to be way over loaded for size of truck.

    quite a few western mack's in the b-73 range with that rad were made in calif for western market. but with the b model cab.i think when they put the bigger power in that rad they just made the core thicker. my friends ltl had a 200 cummin's with narrow core and i seen one with 300 cummin;s but thicker core.
  8. BOB DINGSDALE
    The rad is definatly off a LJX with that alum. side . The bottom side of rad is where it sits down on frame.I think the whole truck has been made up. A real clone Maybe the person who built it is on here and could explain things

    is there a one way check valve between compressor and primary tank.If not your valves in compressor could be leaking back. Something you would never hear. If you havn't got one in line get one and try it.

    The yellow B model in pictures say's it's a B-85 but I thought B-85 was a fire truck or was this one converted to B-81 series.

  17. BOB DINGSDALE
    I would say your rear end ratio is either 8.15 or 9.02's if you have 11:00 tires.
  18. BOB DINGSDALE

    the best thing to do is to take damper off and see whats behind it to change it.might have to drop pan or take timing cover off.
  21. BOB DINGSDALE
    Brocky: Is the Mack LJ with the big bumper a single axle or tandem and is that a Diamond T or Federal next to the white Mack dump truck. Any Idea if the owner of the LJX is on BMT.I would like to get chassis number for my records.
  22. BOB DINGSDALE
    there are two styles to those lenses .I have one of the ones your looking for. don't know what there worth .I don't have the rubber gasket though but you can make them out of thick cork material.
  23. BOB DINGSDALE
    a gold mine for VLADISLAV

    harry s: big bumper is on a MACK LJSWX not a LTL
  25. BOB DINGSDALE
    yes that's the one but what type of suspension did they have. the tridrive's here in B C have to have all three axle with same suspension so they all have air bag's.
