I bought a couple of camelback cutoffs, one reason being the brake spiders were angled down so you could get a larger brake chamber on it without hitting the frame rail. Once I got a wheel off, the spiders looked awful familiar...they're the same as mine, but they rotated them forward one bolt hole to get the chamber below the frame rail. Another reason I bought them was for the iron caps-mine are aluminum and 2 are broken. Mack recalled the aluminum caps in 1972 because they were failing; sounds like a wild ride if one of those caps broke on the highway. Lots of rust and crud built up over the years. I took all the camelback parts to the sandblaster and put a good coat of primer on them.

Back in the early 80's we had a delivery driver with a chassis mounted crane who forgot to lower the boom. He was listening to a Walkman player and took down two freeway signs before someone caught his attention to stop. Needless to say the company banned headphones after that. If you have a stereo cranked up it would have the same effect.

Thank you Matt and Ed!

I painted some of my parts last year with Nason epoxy primer (after sandblasting). When it comes time to put the color on, I will scuff the primer...should I put another coat of epoxy on before the color, or should I use regular primer? The guys at Axalta said if I use regular primer, I would have to sand before the color.

Pickup man is a great song!! Real country music.

I'll bet your price will have to be a couple bucks to pay for all that nice work. I really like the way it's turning out.

If you have two flat tires, you better see your doctor.

My dad had one U model in his fleet, the thing got wrecked 3 or 4 times before he finally said "no more!" and junked it.

You could even call them a large SUV.

My truck has air start...I love it. Saves a lot on batteries, and easier to jump start (if you got another truck or an air compressor).

Sharp looking U model. The trailer next to it looks like a see-through display trailer with an old pickup in it. I don't believe I've ever seen one of those.

Looks like a nice clean truck!

He might have to throw in some cash if you got those to trade.
