Yup, something like that. Never had any of mine off, but pretty sure you can just pry up on the little cover and get to the roll pin.

Hard to find one that isn't made in China. I just bought one for my Onan genset, it is a Facet brand. http://www.facet-purolator.com/cube-fuel-pumps.php

Ok, you will need to remove the little round disc at the bottom of the door(that is the window stop). You wil need to remove the 4 screws from the door latch. You will then remove the screws from the outer door handle and pull it out(might be tough from rust). The outside door handle is actually a piece of 1/4" keystock that goes through the latch mechanism and if crusty might be hard to pull out. You also need to remove the lock, that is the clip in the door jam area. Pull clip out slighty and then pull out lock out. Then pull clip the rest of the way out(don't drop it inside the door). With all this disconnected, remove all the panel screws(just around the outside edge) and you should be able to drop the panel down and out. Might have to roll window down just a slight bit to clear everything. It really isn't hard to do once get it figured out. Just had mine all apart last winter for a lube job. Here is what it looks like: (less the power window motor. I was trying to figure out a way to make them power) Put a little sound deadener on the door. Makes them "thunk" close instead lf "Twang". I tried the poor mans tar/paper but should have just bought Dynamat. I did put Dynamat on the floor and it helped a good bit also. My passenger side interior handle was sloppy. Seems the little spring was broke that holds it in the middle location. I was able to find one at the local hardware and get it back in working order.

You know Mike.......with talk like this...........we're not going to call you Superdog anymore. Your new screenname will be "Outlaw". Was that orange jumpsuit much worse then that Sunday goin-to-meetin' suit you wore back when you were fighting city hall? (I didn't spend the time to do a search to find that pic for comparison)

I see whe works her arse behind off trying to keep up with orders. I see she musta burnt her apron off trying to get her the buns out of the oven???

Come with oxygen mask for high altitude?

I'm partial to black and white LOL.

Strange size on the OD. Is the OD tapered? Hard to tell by the picture. I've got a complete column/box sitting in the garage, came with my truck and basically have it as a spare if the need ever arose. Is that bearing in the top? I suppose the steering wheel presses down and keeps tension on it?

Sadly we are the .001%'ers. Everyone else just sees $$$$$$$. Plain and simple. I hate to see it, but I do also understand not everyone has the same likes and wants.

Typical corroded dimmer switch on the floor. Give it a swat with your foot. Might shake it loose and it will work for awhile.

What about the person next to them> I woulda been on the HORN!!! Guess some people don't think that way?

It was talked about back when they did it. Was quite the ordeal for them to pull off, but sadly it was a Mack. It all started with "how to get cured concrete out of a drum". They started with hammers and then someone made a comment about blasting it. They tried a small charge and didn't phase it. Then they thought...."what if we really packed it with LOTS of explosives?"

LOL!!!! Presto-chango...............no more concrete..............

Pretty much typical B model. You will notice, like I mentioned above, the rear suspension is in two parts. The lower forward arm holds the suspension in place. The springs sit in pockets and that suppports the truck and keeps it tracking straight. To try to get all that to work properly and have it drop 5-6" will be difficult. Better to make a 4bar setup and bag the rear. All the travel in the world and no suspension binding.

Nice score. I like my 40ft race trailer, but something like that would be wayyy cooler to use instead. Just needs to be a belly drop furniture van to be more accessible.

Good looking truck!

Oh snap. Nice old unit.

Glad to hear Bill is doing good. Been a long time since I've heard from him and remember his bike accident. That is a good looking truck!

I'm just in the process of moving my secondary filter on my B model. Originally right up on the right side of water pump. I'm moving it to a bracket on the frame to make room for a/c compressor. It will be lower then stock, so it should not be a problem. The "original" fuel line came up drivers side, over water pump and down to fuel pump, then up to filter and back down to injection pump inlet. It will now come up passenger side to fuel pump, then up to filter and over to injection inlet. As long as the pump has good enough draw....the length and loops should not be a problem. Dang Jim. That 285 looks like it just fits in there just fine/dandy.

Wow...after not seeing that show for a few years, I kinda wondered what ever happened to that old Binder he had. I got to admit, I like the shorty tow truck look. It is following in line with a 70's hot wheels kinda look. Ezrider. Thanks. The truck will never be a show stopper. I just keep updating stuff as time/money allow.

I think, at least for the rear, use a 4 link or even just a three link(ladderbar), panhard bar and tall bags. I don't think the stock suspension from the rear of a B will give you enough travel even with one spring as a locator. If you look closely at your B, the rearend is held in location by the pivot pin(in the center of the spring pack) but the track location(and weight bearing) is held by the end supports. That is not going to give you much articulation. My Neway has maybe 4" of drop when I dump the bags, but it will not get it any where near the look of that IH. I'm betting that IH was not that tall of a truck to begin with(KB4? 5?). Not like the B model. Plus they used really short sidewall tires. It is all doable, but likely not use any of the original Mack suspension.

I've heard the good and the bads. Power steering isnt likely for me but this would be a step up. If it made it even half as easy to steer when moving slow I would be happy.

I will measure my drag link and compare to it. I have interest if it is in working order. Does it come with mounting brackets?

How universal are those air assists? Drag link the same as B61?

That would be a 4x4x4x4, right?
