  1. Hey Rob, your doing a great job! So good I think you should come out here and work on my cab!!! I'll pick you up at the airport and provide room and board. Hell there is a FAA station 5 miles from here, tell the boss you have a job to do and get paid also!!!!!!!!!!

  2. I'm sure your sick of removing tires, but if you swap both fronts with two rears you should end up with a hop not a wobble. It sounds like you have a side to side shake in your steering wheel more than a hop through the truck. Normally if you feel it in the steering wheel it's in the front. Also a tire(s) out of balance can cause the same feeling. I may be way off here just trying to help. Feel free to call me (603)582-0252. Steve.

  3. I was hoping someone has a answer for this. I have a 1964 b-67 twin screw. I'm getting ready to reinstall the torque rods but need a few parts. I need some springs to hold the canvas to the rod. The spring and (washer, cap, spacer whatever it is) to apply tension to the ball. and maybe some other stuff that decides it needs to be there. These are the old rods that look like big tie rod ends. Or better yet can I use some parts from the steering drag link off the parts truck?

    Or should I get the Meritor custom fit all that looks like modern tie rod ends with a sleeve in the center that you weld?

    This is one of the final this to do to get the rear of this truck restored. I'm still working on pics. to post and there will be alot. Steve.

  4. It may be too late now but back when I worked at the Mack dealer one of the oldtimers gave me a great tip. Find some phone or data cable (with multiple small wires within), about one foot. Pull a piece out and cut it in half (about six inch) and wrap one half on each end of whatever your removing. Works great because there is 12 or more wires in a cable, and they are all differnt colors. Steve.
