Farming is ramping up, haven’t had time to do much, I need to get a fifth wheel mounted and a few other odds and ends done before I can haul corn. Had to move everything in my shop today so I took some pics

My radiator supports both the aluminum and the cast iron side appear to be factory castings. This truck is such a picture of get it done!

Wow, that cab is wonderful! Thanks for the pics and explanation. -
Next question is on the rear spring arrangement. It looks like there is a plug in this housing, if it is a plug do I use some kind of oil or grease in it? Also is the broken bolt in the top of the springs ok or does it need to be replaced, what is it for.

I pulled the screws out of this cover but the cover didn’t come right off. I figured I better ask here before I damaged something. Are there typical adjustable bearings behind it?

Grandpa always said “use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without”

I just realized that the radiator sides are different, the drivers side is aluminum and the passenger side is magnetic, probably cast iron I guess. Was cast iron standard and aluminum optional?

I modified one off of another truck to temporarily drive it, anybody have a part number for the original? I’d welcome any pics of the factory hanger arrangement.

Does anybody have a part number or picture of the cab exhaust hangers for a Mack LJ? Mine was mounted to the winch frame which I have removed. I see factory threaded bolt holes but need to fabricate or buy some mounts. Probably the same for all L cabs?
-
Got the winch off. I think the builder of this wrecker used about 1000 pounds of welding rod to attach/repair. I wish I could hear some of the stories this truck could tell
-
The muffler is attached to the winch frame, my cab appears to be drilled with captive nuts to hold a bracket to attach the muffler, anybody have the brackets or know where to find them?
-
Found number on the front axle and they match up with my build sheet. FA 600
