I just bought the MB in FL. Its in excellent shape. Just needs paint. Came with everything, including a chassis with a rotten cab.il be looking for misc odds and ends. Right now I need an air cleaner that mounts behind the cab with the tall stack and all plumbing, and a decent steering wheel.

I was looking at that auction too,I'm glad someone got that truck and is doing something with it.

So looks like this show will be a washout as of right now. Would it still be worth going in the rain ?

I was told if I had 65k rears the stock brake chamber mounts are bigger and a new style can will fit. I have a maxi chamber that I tried fitting on my rear but there is no clearance for it to fit.

There sure is a lot to learn on this topic...so I've got maxi cans on my old rears that appear to be close to correct. I believe if I get offset slack adjusters I'll be legal...Is that not possible or just difficult? I do know that the cans sit real close to the sidewall of the tires. The clamps are all rotated so that the draw bolt and nut are inboard and not out as they would make contact for sure. Is that too close for comfort? I know the prior owner ran a triple cylinder Donaldson dump body on it and had lengthened the frame a foot or so to accommodate its length. He definitely worked the truck in its current axle/brake configuration for a long time.

MACKMB212 how are your brakes set up on the old rears? I'd love a picture of it (oh and don't throw those away...)

Thanks

Thanks for your input guys.

So I have pulled the rears out of my truck for several reasons. While I'm at this point I am thinking of faster ratio. I have 7.49's now and from what I read and was told that was the fastest ratio available at the time. A friend of mine keeps telling me to find dm800 rears for the faster ratios and for having 30/30 brake chambers. Dose anyone know if gear sets are still available for these older carriers I have crd113 stamped onto the hogshead. I'm 99% sure I have a double overdrive quadbox and I'm looking to get up to 65 mph

Stay away from trucks with 11:24 tires also look at the vent Windows, most of them are rotted out and cost a lot to rebuild or if you can find a nos set they are around a 1000 bux a side

Here you go, let me know if you need any measurements.

I can take a picture later this afternoon the only thing I don't understand about the housing is it has 2 out let's

I have one from a 70 dm I'm not sure if that would work for you.

Says in stock.

thanks that isn't a bad price

I'm looking to sell this cab it was from a b30 I started modifying the driver side floor to the b81 style floor it can be changed back to the flat style. The floor was rotted out on the driver side before I cut it out so I didn't ruin a good cab by doing this. The rest of the floor is just about perfect and still has green paint, the passenger side rocker is nice and straight. The driver side rocker and the area below the air vent needs some work. The back panel of this cab took a beating and would probably need to be replaced.The roof has a few small dents. The areas around the windshield where these cabs are known to rot are perfect and same with the fire wall. I'm asking 500 for the cab

What is the PAI number?

akp9820

I have the pai part number for my pins but can't seem to find them anywhere. I googled the number but nothing comes up.

I got over to the Mack dealer yesterday and that Mack part number is still good in there system with a price of 1100

Thank you guys for your input

I found the part number in a b81 parts book and it dose come up as a king pin kit through Napa. I made this post to see if anyone had them laying around on a shelf, I have found them new for sale but there over 1000 dollars.

Thanks for all the info guys. Much appreciated.

I scraped my 711 a few weeks back it was exactly 1600 but it had everything removed no exhaust manifold,water pump,oil cooler,injector pump,air compressor,bell housing,clutch. I was able to lift a fully dressed 237 minus the clutch with a one ton hoist.

What's is the chances of finding that brake band ?

With some B67 mounts, it may fit under the hood of the pickup!

Did it have the usual 711 issues?

I wanted something with a little more power and the head gaskets were bad and it took about 45 seconds to show oil pressure

Put the 711 in your pickup......?

the picture of my pickup with the engine is the 237 I did put the 711 in the pickup as well and hauled it to the big yard in the sky.

I been looking for a winch for a long time now a finally got one. What I am looking for is information on them. This one has 23L stamped in the top to the gear housing. I have been looking around the web and on eBay for information like operation and what leavers do what on it, the capacity, ect. I never really seen a post on here with this topic discussed.

If anyone had a rope reel laying around for one of these I would like to buy one.

I'm happy to report that I been making good progress with my truck, in the restoration and with finding parts. I finally got some paint on the frame and working on getting the engine and transmission painted.I found a 237 with a Jake brake to replace the 711 and pickup up a Tulsa winch.

I'm looking for anyone that might have Some king pin kits laying around that they would sell. The part number is mak301sq31c

there for fa600 20,000 lb axle.
