It's a '60. No problems with the wheels, it sat for a number of years and I was getting ready for the show season (Macungie). As usual I did the job and then checked the manual. It won't be a big deal to go back and do it as described. I'll have to buy some more grease to fill those large cavities.

When repacking the bearings I noticed the hub area between the inner and outer bearings was full of grease and also the screw on outer cap. It seemed like an excess of grease but the O & M manual says to pack them that way. I don't know if that is because of the quality of grease back then or if that is still the preferred way to do it. What do y'all think?

Is he the guy with the really cool white KB 12 or 14?

Thanks for the great pictures. That looks like quite a show. Lots of high dollar cars (especially the MB 300s) and of course the Futureliner.

Lookin' good Ed.

I thought you were going to say "a woman that cleans like that or one that unloads furniture". I love 'em both, not picky at all.

My '60 B has the same rear ratio with 10:00-20s and direct duplex topped out at 60. I changed the trans to 9sp OD and it now runs up to just over 70.

That is super cool.

Nice looking truck.

Sounds like you were really knocked for a loop. Glad to hear you are back among the living.

Very nice and sounds good.

Way to go.

Looks great.

That's a nice one. Welcome.

Welcome. Love to see pictures of the B.

Hopefully the warmer weather will speed up the recovery.

Beautiful!

That is one ugly wagon, however if she's driving that's a different story, I'm on board.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Condolences and God Bless.

Really sounds good. Turbo gets your ear.

I thought the Winfall wimmon was doing an interview for Fox News. Definitely should be hired.

That is a pretty cool engine crane, what I could see of it.

Look'n good. Should be about ready to crank.

Nothing like a good early start. He has really grown since the last picture I saw.
