    What year was Hayward closed? And what was the production # of trucks produced there from its beginnings? Its curious to me that there were Macks being built there, but today you don't see ANY Macks in California.. or very few. I remember talking to a guy from the Bay are who bought a brand new Superliner in '81(?) He owned it for 35 years.. even he said he had the only one around..

    Hayward was closed in 1981.  I don't have the production numbers for just CA built trucks.  Some Hayward models continued to be made in Macungie.

     

  2. I did my wheel with the kit available through Eastwood.  It was fairly easy to do.  From the pictures, I would say my wheel was a little worse than your wheel Matt as a comparison.  My redone wheel stayed looking good for about 4 years before a couple of blisters started to form and hairline cracks reemerged.  It's alive!  I will pull it over the winter and do it again.

    I checked with someone to recast it many years ago and the price was like $400.

  3. I see some new shocks in your future!

    Since it is easy to spend your money, what about a slightly higher rear gear for use with the new engine HP/TQ numbers?  Do you have a gear rule?  More time to test would be a big plus!
