    I read on here somewhere that some of the air compressors have there own metal screen filter. It gets gunked up and needs cleaned. Just an idea to check out. Good luck.

    Glad I'm not the only one that thought that.

    Thanks for the pictures. Now I'm thinking about another part to my never ending project.

    When I stretched my B I ran into the same issue of 2 different sizes. I took my existing drive shaft to the shop with a measurement. they where able to just replace the yoke on the one end of the tube and not have to build a whole new shaft.

    I was thinking the same. Gettysburg is only about 1 1/2 hrs

    Thanks Mike, interesting. I guess the extended bumper would defeat the idea of the short hood and my concave cab, but so does my 196" wheelbase. Does anyone have a handy pic of the extended bumper on the truck? Kinda standing by the fender looking down on it, or maybe side view. Going to use truck to haul out tractors to some shows and I think some type of front hook would be a good idea.

    Thanks again.

    Thanks! I take it there is 1 more piece not shown that. catches the top 2 bumper holes and inside hook hole. Nice thing about these trucks is brackets are brackets and not all bent like origami.

    How far does it extend? Do they mount to the same 4 spring hanger bolts as mine?
  10. Hobert62
    I don't think it's a light weight. It's almost like something is missing like another bracket. The bumper has 4 bolt holes on each side but only 2 match to the truck. The truck has 3 on each side.

    My truck came with a chrome bumper on it and a skinny aluminum one that I assume is an original. I'd like to add some type if hooks to the front. Here's what I have. Any ideas?

    Whish I had that kinda playground at my age now.
  13. Hobert62
    Thanks. I was thinking 17.5 but I think I've only seen them in a budd wheel around here. I'll have to keep my eyes open a little more.

    What's the new rim size going to be? The one I bought has the 15" tube type also. My tires where new, but always looking for ideas.

    I have a single axle B model and put aluminum ribbed full fenders made by "fleet Engineers". I bought them from "truck n tow" they sent me a free shipping deal. I'm happy, but my word of advice is spend the extra $ for the stainless over the aluminum. I wish I would have.

    I've heard of the nutserts but never used them. Didn't know if they would hold for a visor
  17. Hobert62
    Do you pull the headliner to put nuts on the inside? Or just use screws?
  18. Hobert62
    Should hold up pretty well. That's what some guys I know use on there working trucks around here. They redo the back half of the frame every few years so should last a long time on a toy. That's what I have to use on mine as well.

    Looks great! Would also be really nice to be able to work outside like that.
  20. Hobert62
    What time did that happen? I was at Horning's in Bethel on 501 about 2:30am. then i head east on 78 to 419.
  21. Hobert62
    I'm going to add a bracket that drops straight down on each side yet. It will clamp to the cross pipe to hold everything up. The 2 peterbuilt clamps will be on the uprights to hold the stacks in place side to side and front and back.
  22. Hobert62
    These are the brackets I made for my B. I made them from 1/4" plate, 2x4 box, and 5" channel. They bolt through the crossmember right behind the cab. They are solid without a cross bar, simple to make, clean in appearance. Just an idea for you.

    I read a while back on here a guy had a B firetruck that he built to pull a gooseneck racecar trailer. He had a 1996 IH school buss as a donor vehicle. One of the things he did was use the electric wiper motor from the buss in the mack. He put the electric motor in place of the air motor.

    And super singles on a single axle.

    My 2012 freightliner got check engine lights on a rainy day. It would have rolled over and played dead if it had to do this.
