Time to fix up the R600
66dc75 replied to 66dc75's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
When I bought this from Tom Amaducci he gave me a power steering setup for it. Anybody know lf the pump bolts onto any air compressor? The pump came bolted to an old compressor but the one in the truck looks like a fairly recent replacement. Also looks like the dipstick tube is occupying the same space as the pump but I think it can be reshaped. -

Gooseneck ball is going away, it's set up for electric .brakes which is OK since all my tag trailers are Electric. Gonna bend up some diamond plate fenders and wi incorporate the lights and mudflap hangers into the fenders. -

The more I think about it I'll probably just change the gearing. I actually would like to keep the spokes. It would be a whole lot cheaper and I am a cheap bastard. It would be nice to have airride though. -

So after 5 years I'm going to get back at this (can't rush these things). Started to cut off the ugliness on the back. Not a lot of frame beyond the rear spring hanger and the pintle hitch is pretty awful. I've been thinking of getting an air ride cutoff and upgrading to hub pilot although then I'll have to do something with the front to match.. it would be nice to get the gearing to around 3.70 to get more highway friendly. Got a couple of toolboxes on the shelf that will fit behind the cab nice. Also time to ditch the air assist and put on the power steering that's been sitting in the toolbox since I bought it 7 years ago.

The air control is supposed to be able to feather the body down but that's a fairy tale. I put a one way restriction valve at the pump. Full flow going up and adjustable flow going down.

My 02 Npr / w4500 has a 5.7 small block. Easiest engine replacement we've ever done. Gotta love a cabover to work on.
