    Would you believe 1969???

    You talkin' about the movie Convoy?

    That F model is killer too.

    Remember when the Ford L series oriented all the gauges so that everything was cool when they all pointed to the right???

    My favorite Johnny Cash song is his version of Kris' "Sunday Morning Coming Down".

    Harder to find a diesel mechanic these days than it is to find a college grad. Got plenty of those.

    I was walking home from little league baseball practice and saw a boy in the parking lot of my best friend’s dad’s gas station. Had been hit by a car. Blood everywhere. He was trying to get up. don’t know if he survived or who he was. I quit baseball that day. Still can’t get that image out of my mind.

    4-lane across Sweetwater! Used to have an uncle who lived right at the top of the hill.

    There used to be a saying that Macks built the roads for the Peterbilts to drive on.

    I think you have a gem there. As long as you can keep it running, you're probably better off doing so.

    You know, it is my considered opinion that this truck SUCKS! And the only way I can think of to make it "cool" is to...give it to me! Then it would be cool! I can't wait to see this thing finished.
  15. doubleclutchinweasel
    True. And a fig. 9-10 setup would have needle bearings on the top, not a bushing. That's what my '70 had.

    Here was a pic he posted. Definitely a tapered mid-section. But I don't know if the straight parts on the ends are correctly sized. Beside this is a pic I posted. The ends ARE straight where the bushings go. The taper is only for where it seats in the axle beam. Like you, I wish we could be there to help him sort this out.

    That is a VERY informative post, Geoff.
  18. doubleclutchinweasel
    I just wish there was some way to help the OP sort this out.
  19. doubleclutchinweasel
    Straight part on small end even looks longer than I thought it would. I think you are right Mech. This eBay seller might be FOS.

    I don't know, but these guys might be able to measure what they have and offer some insight into what you got... I keep finding references out there that suggest the 45 replaces the 32. But who knows for sure. The counter-holder-downers at the Mack dealerships certainly aren't much help anymore. https://instockmotorsports.com/mack-301sq32b-king-pin-kit-nos/ https://instockmotorsports.com/mack-301sq45a-king-pin-kit-nos/

    Nice!
  22. doubleclutchinweasel
    Yep! Here is a DM with a 413! I think this is a 1966 model.
  23. doubleclutchinweasel
    Oh, and I think they only built 450 of these 413-equipped units (R410) between 1965 and 1970 (according to the Mack website). They also list 59 of the DM-410 made between 1966 and 1970. So, if the numbering system holds true, there are a handful of DMs out there with the Chrysler in them. All in all, these would be some rare pieces, and would make interesting collectibles.

    This site has some of the better pictures of the then-and-now type. https://horsepowermemories.com/2017/06/16/smokey-and-the-bandit-filming-locations-a-40-year-now-and-then-look-back/ One of the hardest spots to find for me was the pond-hopping site. Theymoved the road! But, it's still there if you know what to look for (see map). This is where Bandit and Frog drove through the Chattahoochee River and Buford lost his door. Just north of Helen, Ga. Red line is where the road went before they straightened it. Oh crap! I went off-topic! Sorry!
