Mike Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Am I looking in the right place?!? Or is it under that welded plate!Thanks Further back to where the spring perch is connected. It will be mid ways on your frame ecthed inside. WD 40 is sometimes good for finding these things to spray on. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 What is the welded plate for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leversole Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) What is the welded plate for?Some kind of heavy duty bumper mount...there is some structure with pivot point around the front axle...It looks like the truck may have had a snow plow at one time...

Rob Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Found it! Right where it is supposed to be!Can someone point me to the transmission (TRT72) and rear end (38K tandems, I am told) serial numbers?I will send all these numbers off to the museum with a donation!The trans numbers are hand stamped into the case just behind, or below the TRT72 stamping. The rear axle serial numbers and specification number is stamped into the rear rear axle bowl, (not the drop in) just to the right of centerline and should start with SWDXXX, (SWD is a 34,000# rating suspension).Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Bobby Covert Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Mine is a little older than yours. My # is B615T1044. I am guessing you are a tandem axle too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Covert Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 In case you guys dont know the hood is made of Aluminum. So are the headlight panels. I have stripped mine and polished them. If you do strip yours you will need to polish them to keep them in top shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hey Superdog that means mine is 25 trucks older than yours!Sure enough.Does yours still have the 864?Mine does but it needs work.I gotta find a hood for mine also.The one that's on it is a B61 hood that the previous owner set on it to keep motor covered.

Rob Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Found 'em...Do they give anyone a cluse as to what the weight rating or ratio might be?Thanks38,000# suspension. I suspect someone has changed something as the drive axles appear to be two piece using the acorn style cap on the driven ends. The axel ratio will be stamped into the flat pad area just to the left side of the driveshaft yoke usually at the top rt. side of this pad.
