    Ok,I just bought the 301SQ32B Mack OEM set on ebay,should fit my pre`62 FA505 axle(I hope).I`ll have to find a shop to install them next.Many thanks to everyone,you guys are the best!

    Are the sets still available? Who would be a good supplier to contact? Thanks.

    With either front tire jacked off the ground,I get about an inch and a half of movement when I grab the tire at the top and push and pull.This occurs equally w/ left and right tires.I`m guessing this isn`t good,even though the front end feels solid going down the road...no shimmying or wobbling up to 50 mph,which is as fast as I`ve gone,so far.This is a 1961 B61 w/ an FA505 axle.Can anyone help in diagnosing the problem? Thanks.

    I`ll back in from now on...I like the front view of the cab from my window,but will swap for rear view.

    1961 B61 w/ triplex trans...when backing out of my gravel driveway,my truck starts jumping and bucking,no matter what aux gear I`m in.Forward starts are smooth.Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

    Maybe he was stuck in Lodi,NJ.

    Does the tire service sell you a new tire as a requirement for the call?

    Hey Matt,is the guy you bought it from still alive? I`ll bet he wouldn`t believe it`s the same truck,if he saw it.

    If I lived local,I`d be glad to lend a hand...I bet there`s someone near you who would too.

    Another world...

    I never use this word,but that is an awesome job and final result.

    If you take a starter from a neg ground truck and put it in a +ground truck,using the same connections as the starter you`re replacing,will it spin backwards?

    The sun was out by 1:30.As for the trucks...WOW! Stunning examples from every maker.

    That`s a beauty...bringing it to Macungie?

    I need to replace the batt to solenoid and solenoid to starter cables. Is 2/0 a suitable gauge? I`m running 2 pairs of 6 volt batteries to a 12 V starter,no S/P switch. Thank You .

    Ok,thanks for the tip.

    This fuel line fitting has a cable-operated shutoff valve.The lever on it has to end up more or less in line w/ the cable that pulls it when the fitting is fully tight.I thought if it`s way off,I could use the tape to adjust it to where it should be when tight.

    When replacing the fuel line fitting to the injection pump....good insurance or not necessary?Or a bad idea?

    I think I`ve heard that the earlier B grille shells were more of a PITA to remove than later ones.

    I`m thinking of using an air jack,an inflatable cushion that off-roaders use to jack trucks stuck in muddy ruts.I could sit it on top of the tire and pump it up til there`s no drop when the bolts are removed.Then get help to remove,if needed.

    I want to remove the outer and inner fender as a unit,was wondering how heavy this will be,and if anyone has done this without a helper. Thanks.

    Hi Paul,what kind of tree was that?Must`ve been as big as a giant redwood.

    I guess polishing journals is more involved than mounting the crank in a lathe and hitting them with emery paper?

    Is there a way to trace the ownership trail of a vehicle through some sort of DMV database.I guess it would have to encompass all states.Sounds improbable,but it seems like almost any historic records/trivia can be found online if you know how to dig.
