  1. I believe the axle spacing are 50,55,and 60 inches. Terry
  2. Is there a regulator for the trans air supply, Cuts the working pressure down to about 60 pounds. terry
  3. If you repower with a diesel and especially a direct trans. the rear ratio has to be changed. terry
  4. You talk about gutless, I drove a B421 dump truck In the early 70's, with a quad, constantly shifting all day! Terry
  5. Very nice looking truck!
  6. Was with the Army engineers, 553 rd float bridge co. terry
  7. Perfect lifestyle ! !
  8. Now that is a crane! A far cry from the 20 ton american I ran in Viet nam in 69, had a 3/4 yd clam bucket! Terry
  9. If you are familar with the old mack five speed trans. You can shift it like a five speed when your empty, or split any of the five main speeds anytime. The low low has a lockout so it can be used with the main box in first gear only. and you might have to do a little hole modifications, just don't remembeer for sure, I put one in a DM dump years ago with 4.17 rears and just loved it! Terry
  10. I think the end play is set by a button with a lock nut on the cover on the shaft end, with the compressor in place. Loosen locknut snug botton down and back off about a half turn or so and tighen locknut.
  11. As long as the rear u bolts are tight, the loose center bolt should not bother a thing, they only hold the pack together till the u bolts are torqued.
  12. Been their and done this swap,also think the hub that the harmonic balancer sits on has to be changed.
  13. Interior should be tan not the dark gray, maybe had alot of things changed on it.
  14. Very nice! What are the spec's, have you been happy with it?
  15. Sure would be easier just change the rear carrier to a 4.17, there are plenty out there.
  16. Out standing lineup !
  17. Sounds like it is only a yard truck.
  18. Something is not right here, I have driven a RD with seven spd. and 5.55 rears, topped out right at 70 MPH.
  19. If you change to a different trans. you will also have to change the rears.
  20. Biggest problem I have seen is guy's trying to use the low range selector as a splitter, does not work that way !
  21. Doesn't post #2 answer your question?
