I think its either 5.85 or 5.65 is lowest ratio for these
Rockwell took over Timkens qxle division and continued to make these but as a 6 rod
I have been told that the centers are interchangeable, I have two center's to replace the 10.22s in my Federal
I'll find out when I try to change them if they are

I guess a lot depends on what and wear you haul ?

Looking at the second photo it looks like your chassis has been joined so I very much doubt thats original

I think they fitted these to some western Macks, dunno about parts but I feel they arent that common and certainly not in Australia

Am I incorrect when I thought Paul bailed when that last big ordeal happened a few months back when a few guys were banned? Dont think he was banned ,but there were a few hurt feelings and attitudes and some just left.
I believe that to be correct as well
The whole show was a bit of a mess as a result

A fella by the name of Trevor Ralls from Trafalgar Victoria Australia had a B61 tipper with a 671 and a B something with the aluminium cast radiator with a 871 on float work
Both fitted with standard bonnets and both still had the quad box
Paul
I have ridden around in the 871 when they shifted gear for me 30 years ago
The tipper was always zooming about have been up close and personal with it plenty of times
I have seen photos of both of these on the internet so with some time and searching I could probably track them down

671 is too long.
In line 671 fits in a B model, doubt a 6110 would as they are bigger again

Watched this the other day and yes ot confirms a lot of people are full of crap when they say about what they have seen
Along the lines of, I new a bloke that had this happen or that happen as a result of in this case twisted straps
A Australian 4x4 internet channel tested steel cable, nylon rope and chain to see which was safer
The chain turned out been the safest by a long way
The dayton rims and split rims that we read so much about and the so called horror stories associated with those I feel are the same, just stories

I wonder why Mack never mounted the heater like that to begin with ?
Great job

Dunno about a gasket but I wouldn't of thought there would be one
The dowls I would imagine would be all machined to a precise measurements in the factory and should be interchangeable
Thats my thoughts

Everything said above
Well done on not doing any damage
The cab looks ridiculously small with out the rest of it attached, I guess it was all they had back in the day and no one new any different

Sounds like a good deal to me

You can get 10.00 x 20 radial tyres, they just wont be tubeless
So most of the bias ply problems are eliminated except for the extra flat tyres

Pretty easy to see why the idea never took off, you would be hard pressed to to find drivers
There was one in Australia, maybe more than one for all I know, guessing every country probably had a crack at building them

Russia copied all sorts of things from trucks to D7 Caterpillars to DC 3 aeroplanes to even the SuperFortress B 29
If anyone is interested the Russian B29 story is a fascinating story the history channel made a movie on it, Steeling the SuperFortress
Dunno if the link will work or not
I guess all sides of the political world stole ideas and claimed them as their own
It is no surprise that the Burma Dodge was copied as the majority would of been in Russian hands at the end of WWII

Looking good
So the pin striping on the Freightliner, was it painted or stuck on vinyl ?
Lot of these jokers on here wouldn't mind seeing that either, so dont be shy to share pictures of the Freightliner as well

Just to be clear, you have spokes and want to go to ten stud rims ? or the otherway around ?
I cant be of any assistance but the more information you can provide the better the chance of a good result

Im guessing this last one will keep the cab cooler but maybe need a heat shield for the starter motor, or maybe not.
All quite impressive to me
