I keep running into part numbers that are cross references for the 301SQ32B which also cross back over to the 301SQ45A. Any chance the 45A would fit the 32B applications? I kinda have my doubts. But... Anyway, here's something to think on.

Serves you right!😄

Personally, if the axle number and year matches up, I'd jump all over this one. NOS Mack parts. Or, maybe somebody could buy this one to use as a pattern for the new ones. If I had them, I could probably do drawings for them. And loo! There are 2 sets available! Maybe I should buy them as an investment!
-
I've been looking at several cross references. But, some of them circle back around to a different Mack part number when you cross reference them "the other direction" or through multiple suppliers. I always feel better when that trip leads back to the same Mack number. Wow. I'm not sure that even made sense to me!

Oh, but let's be sure to check the wheel bearing adjustment before starting on a kingpin job!

There have been several discussions on here in the past related to the early B model kingpin sets. Maybe some of those threads will yield a good part number. Or, the eBay link I posted? Maybe this is another one of those things Barry and Company should look into. If they could find someone to make new kits, there just might be a market. Just look at the names in the B-model registry! Barry...you listenin'?

We need pictures! If there are no pictures, it didn't happen! Welcome to the Mutt Lovers Society.

Hard to do a shoeshine on Crocs!

When I did my FA535 axle kingpins, it seemed like there were a half dozen sources for the kit. But, especially on these older trucks, I am seeing more and more stuff disappear. Gotta be the Volvo influence! Mack EXPECTED their trucks to last forever, and they tried to support them with parts so they COULD last forever. Not the case in this throw-away world. If it's more than 10 years old, "we gotta get rid of it".

Spongy/soft brakes, purging relay valve

Sounds like it. -
Okay, here are a few from 1966. Picked up a couple of 700 series in this group.

Looks like the Stemco-Kaiser K534M may be discontinued, too. Maybe E4465B Euclid? Some possibilities... https://www.ebay.com/itm/266236271524 https://instockmotorsports.com/mack-301sq32b-king-pin-kit-nos/

I doubt the Mack parts will be available. But, Like JoJo says, there are aftermarket suppliers who can use the factory part numbers. I think mine were Stemco-Kaiser. Here is a clip from an old service kit list. Looks like Mack had discontinued these even back then. Might try reading this link...

This is for you, Bob... Oh, without me looking back through all of this, do you have that VIN handy? R-U-DM Unit I.D..pdf
-
I will start by sticking some 1965 vintage images in here. Let me know if this is interesting to anyone...
-
Either wheel bearing adjustment or kink pin wear. Here is the most likely Mack part number for a king pin and bushing set: 301SQ32B FA500/501/505 (Prior to 1963)

Uhhh…no! I just know what the letters meant! You’ll have to help him with the actual mechanical stuff!!!
-
I'll be glad to post what I have. Just like to know how it would work best for the guys. A Wiki article? A new "Old Brochures" thread in the antique section?
-
Y'all let me know what you think about where I could post more of those. They might be good historical information for somebody sometime down the road.
-
You can trust those numbers then!

Yes. At one time, they were one of the biggest clearing contractors in the world. My great-uncle, Ted Jordan, was "Big Ted" and his brother-in-law, Ted Phillips, was "Little Ted". Locally, they were known as "Ted & Ted", or just P&J. None of the Jordans are involved with P&J any more. They all went on to retire or start their own businesses...to more or less success! Avis Phillips (Little Ted's wife) is still chairman there. Ted's son is CEO. They kept the Phillips & Jordan name, though, because it is pretty well known. https://pandj.com/our-history/leadership/

I have these (very) rough scans of a bunch of the old brochures. I would love to screenshot as many of them as I can and post them on here somewhere. Maybe in the wiki section? Some would be hard to read, but on some you can make out the different engines between different models, and you can always see the number of axles! What does anybody think???? Here's a sample (1965, I believe).

Did you get the VIN off the frame yet? I got lost in some of the history on this one! I get lost pretty easy anymore...
