camel back
Joe Ditchkus replied to 609albert's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Hendrickson walking beam is designed to work like a Camelback. Both are good vocational suspensions. I have a 1970 KW 924 with the page+Page Suspension that looks very close to Camelback from side view spring U-Bolts are mounted at an angle instead of straight up and down. The P+P has torque arms also. -
I do not care about the meal. It is the politics and the way they choose. I guess there is favoritism everywhere.

I received an e-mail that there is no room for me at the luncheon. I sent in my request July 21. I do not know how they choose who goes or not to luncheon. I am pretty sure i got pushed to the back of the line by someone with more stripes. Let them keep it.

Wanted - 1940-1955 MACK.. L series or sleeper
Joe Ditchkus replied to klwinter2's topic in Trucks for Sale
First and third picture look like A-51 Macks with the 510 Mack Diesel. I have an A-51 with the Mack 510 diesel but is is not a sleeper cab.Tin looks decent on both of the A- models. good luck. -
Sorry for your loss.
-
Even if it went for the asking price it was cheap enough if it ran good.I just do not need another one.

I wonder who bought the U-Boat ? It looked OK. He e-Mailed me and said thanks for buying it. I did not buy it or even make an offer. Must have been a mistake on who he sent the winning E-Mail to.

1962 B-42
Joe Ditchkus replied to hatcity's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Looks like nice clean tin. Double frame looks good no spreading. -
This H-Model has been for sale for several years. In pictures the tin looks OK. Lets see if it sells this time.

Terry yes it was but I was broke after totaling my truck and trailer in Montana. I was happy to work a decent job. Truck ran good but not for running the coast 237,5 speed tag axle 24" sleeper I could not fit in only for log book I slept across seat out and back. Scale man in Montana Crow Reservation Scale pulled me around back one Sunday evening. I asked him whats wrong. he said nothing he just wanted to see what man would drive that across country.I do not remember truck ever having a breakdown under load.

Sounds like driving across I-80 in Wyoming. I used to stick my hand out the window to see if I was moving. I ran a R-685 Mack 237 5 speed twice a month from Hazleton,Penna. to Seattle,Washington loaded to 73,000 lbs both ways.Great truck got me out of the hole after I totaled my other truck,this was early 1980's.

I just saw this thread and maybe late replying .Just a thought. There is the Truck Auction in Weare,New Hampshire on 19 August 2017. If You did not leave yet and can wait until then most likely you could get a truck or 2 part way down.

Looks good but always on the wrong coast.

R-190 IH could have a 406,450 or 501 IH Red Diamond Engine.

This B-Model looks like a friend of mine truck who passed away several years ago Bobby F.If is his old truck sleeper was added. Bobby was from Hazleton,Pa. area and loved his macks. I hauled coal with Bobby years ago. Nice photoes thanks. -

Oil field B Model
Joe Ditchkus replied to B MACK's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I think it has smaller rubber on it than what we usually see on the B-80 Series. This looks like 20" or 22" not the usual 24" tube type. -
The reason Hillary has not ben charged yet same as her husband. They are covered in Teflon. When someone gets close, they disappear for some odd reason.
