Gotta love those wheel washes I used to have to take a load to mallard lake once in a while and had to clean up the bottom half of the truck when I got in.I knew they were gonna be changing stuff around, but they have been talking about that for years. Though I was hoping Daryl was right and that they were not gonna be putting a wheel wash in.

I have a spare from my truck sitting here Al you can have it because you will need to either fix or buy the cup on the bottom as its rusted out its the one on the RS right now.

Don't know for sure mine was a grain hauler originally built for a freight company in Kansas one of an order of ten all I have seen so far has the extruded aluminum bumper like this one. One spring leaf is looped on each side for pulling like in the pictures in my previous post.What were the Haywards set up for? Farm?

I was looking for a supplier for the cups that go on the bottoms of the vortox air cleaners because every one I have ever seen was rusted away. Mack was of no help but I did hunt down the original manufacturer in California and they do have seven of these in stock pricy $100 dollars each but never the less an OE part I ordered one for my truck today. The sales man has worked there since 1978 and remembered selling that particular air cleaner canister he told me mack had used Donaldson elements for the trucks and were to restrictive so the Hayward plant had started buying them and installing them on their trucks to alleviate the restriction problem.The company is vortox air solutions the sales man is John Hyatt part number 16699A and their number is 909-621-3843 thought this may help someone restoring an old truck as its the original part installed on 70s dry filter macks.

My RS bumper is bolted to the frame too that's why I thought this was kind of strange both trucks being haywards.That's the brackets for the center tow pin Vocational bumper. My R is bolted direct with no spacers for what Mack on L.I. called an OTR bumper. Paul

Best way of telling the westerns is the spacing of the springs on the front axle beam they are narrower than regular R model frames the Rs frame spread out forward of the cab but at a distance its hard to tell.

Strip the paint and hit it with some polish and a buffer it will look like chrome at half the weight.

The rulers of Jordan didn't waste any time doing anything about their pilot being killed but nothing is going to deter terrorists from killing us when our campaigner and chiefs biggest threat is to unfriend them from his face book page.Last week 3 Muslim teens were killed in the Carolina's, so right a way here comes the Muslim's on how it's a hate crime!!! In the mean time there own kind are killing tens of thousands of them over seas and non of them are saying shit about it??? Are you kidding me!!!
And also what about the Americans killed in this country and more so overseas by Musilms?? Maybe just maybe Americans have had enough! Was it a hate crime? I don't know. Maybe a revolt has started in this Country against these people??? Don't know, but I guess we'll find out soon enough. It is time that the good Muslims around the world start to condemn the radicals before it's to late maybe it's started with Jordan after they burned one of there pilot's alive

I guess we will find out in a week or so when the truck gets here and disassembly begins.

Only if the truck is owned by someone else.A rod coming through the block sounds best!!!!

We have been finding problems with our visions at work the saddles have been working loose on the drive axles and they have been taking them apart to see where the oil is seeping out from and found small cracks on the top of the axle tubes.
