    I needed a control valve, mounting plates, wiper arms, and exhaust fittings for my wipers. I talked to the folks at Rome and they had all Trico parts for me (obsolete). The control was $70, and the arms were $20 each (stainless steel)...good prices. They were very helpful and they know their stuff. http://www.rometruckparts.com/

    I see they list Earl's Truck Sales as the distributor in Columbus Ohio. My grandfather had Columbus Brockway Sales & Serv., he retired and sold out in 1972. I wasn't in Ohio at that time plus I was 9 yrs. old so didn't really know what was going on. I wish I could have been old enough to be involved in the dealership, those Brockways are great trucks.

    I checked with Erik's, that wheel is 20". He said he would measure the splines to see if it would fit, but I'd better stay with the 22" wheel.

    Some good-looking tow trucks, and lots of tools, jacks, chains, snatch blocks, and shop equipment. https://www.proxibid.com/Jacquier-Auctions-Inc/PRIFTI-MOTORS-INC-ONLINE-AUCTION/event-catalog/214192

    I put the fenders on today, so I posted a video. I also tested one of the wiper motors and valves.

    I found these linings on ebay, it says they fit B models so I don't know if the G used the same. It says they are 1/4" thick. NOS Set Mack Emergency Brake Shoes for 1960-1970 H61T, B60ST, B60T & Some L Series. #221-SJ-20A or GG2033D. 5x1/4" for 12" Drum!!

    There are several companies that do it, just google steering wheel repair. I am definitely going to check those out, that's a good price. I want to stay with the original style, that white one would work fine but it's a 20" wheel and with manual steering I need the biggest one I can get. Mine's 22" and that extra 2" makes a big difference. It's a 1959 H67ST. Probably any 22" wheel from the 50's and 60's would work.

    The wheels I have are all pretty badly cracked, and I don't want to mortgage my house to get one recast. If anyone has a decent one they'll sell please let me know. Otherwise I guess I'll have to putty it up and paint it. If you have any tips on fixing the cracks, please post them.

    Sounds like you're going to be in Exile! 😉

    Western F model!! I'm jealous, you have a cool truck there. I'm glad to see you're giving it TLC.

    That looks like a nice truck...if it runs good then $15k is a great price.

    On ATHS Back Lot, asking $4,900. Looks really clean for that price. https://aths.org/backlot/134411/1956-mack-b-model-dump/pennsylvania/usa/trucks/

    Just looking at the photos, it looks like some decent work has been done. Of course, you'd have to put some eyes on it to see how it really is.

    I like the odd assortment of bolts in the scab plate, like they used whatever they had in their tool box drawer to put it together (and the soft flat washers).

    I got the 6/13 off a chart that specs which to use for which transmission and diff ratio. Do you suppose that was so you could just use a 1:1 adapter? On the Mack Museum website, the old truck parts supplier list shows Bob's Speedometer Svc. in Howell MI. There's also Deluxe Speedometer and Cable Svc. in Denver.

    I need to get the 90 degree adapter for the transmission to hook the cable to; my parts manual tells me to use a 6T drive gear and 13T driven gear which I assume would be behind the yoke and I don't want to take that apart. I hate to buy a 1:1 adapter and find out it's wrong, I'm sure they cost a few dollars. Anybody got an idea how to figure out if I need a different ratio adapter?

    This is how.

    Some of those mixers have low rears and lots of gears, with a Detroit you could really shift fast when you're empty going downhill!

    Great to hear about their hard work! When I was a senior in high school, I went to school in the morning and worked in the truck shop at Cat in the afternoon. It was a great experience for me, I'll never regret it.

    Now you can change the front letters to GMC (Got My Chain).

    Do they look like this? AgKits has PAI gaskets for $6.62 each. https://www.agkits.com/mack-exhaust-manifold-gasket-573gb257a.aspx?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqN3M5f659AIV2P6zCh1_eg1hEAQYAiABEgKexPD_BwE#.YaLmxbpOnIU

    You tried the sources that kscarbel and ws721 posted above?

    Looks like a pretty nice truck, says it's a rare heavy spec unit. I'll bet it was pretty slow pulling a heavy load with that gas engine, but then again most trucks were slow in 1939. https://www.ebay.com/itm/154694354899?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

    What you're saying about the one-way jack sounds right...you'd have no way to pull the cab back past the "over center" point if you did take it 90 degrees.
