    I'm thinking Phelan and Rogers were together at one time I don't think it's the same Rogers that makes trailers though because they are in Pa

    Are you trying to stay original? Or do you just want something that functions the same? What is that chassis?

    There are pictures of my stuff on here, pictures of my 10,000 square foot shop with 20 foot clear ceilings too. And I'll say it again, ALL CUSTOM TRUCK BUILDERS ARE HACK JOBS

    I think they are still using it. That is a beefed up 600 or 650 Holmes on the back. They built it all at their shop

    Joe Capecci Twin steer mixer. He owned the trucks, and Liberty Concrete owned the barrels. He had lots of Macks too. I used to go over his place and pick through his stock of LJ parts. The others are one of Buckley & Company's Dumps.

    That depends on the dump body and type of hoist. None of that is made by Mack

    That's not a walking beam. It's a Mack Camelback. I forget what that version was called. They came in a lot of flavors over the years. There was a reverse camelback with pins instead of elephant pads. There was a Camelback that used 4 elephant pads and 4 spacer pins. Then there was the typical one that used 8 elephant pads. Lots more variations too, Some longer and shorter trunnions, different arches in the springs etc..

    I had a Hurricane Six. It was a good reliable engine My Buddy had the Tornado Six in his. It was faster

    Believe me I've seen much worse. I fixed one one time that they used nothing but fender washers. I don't think the truck owner owned the truck more than about a month before the top mount broke the sheet metal and he had to secure it with bungie cords to get home. All truck customizers and chrome shop guys are hacks

    I've owned both. And both worked good. To redo the bushings in a Camelback, you need a torque multiplier to tighten the U Bolts. To re-bush a Hendrickson Walking Beam you need about a 50 ton press. I can't say which one is better or easier to work on, and they both perform about the same
