bobgil Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I have a front axle from a H model Mack not sure of the year it has Dayton wheels and had a two stick trany. It was a road truck with a sleeper and it has brakes on both hubs. The truck was about gone Rob has seen it full of bullett holes, glass is all gone and rusted and in rough condition. I had talked to the people about it and nobody knew any thing about it. Then one day I was on the way home and I noticed a step deck going towards the scrap yard with a H model cab laying on it's side on it. I followed the man and was able to buy the front axle for $50.00. I just hope I can use it. I also have a 1964 B61 that only has one brake drum ass and every thing on one side and the other side is just a bare axle with hub.I also have a 1965 C model that has no brakes on the front axle. I can not get to my books that I have for reference most of that stuff got put in storage about 6 years back when I got married the last time.Does any body have any idea if the H model axle would inter change with the B or C models?Bob Gil Quote Bob Gil If it an't a Mack could it really be a truck???

I remember that "H" model well and it was such a shame to see it that way. Is there any chance that black B model with the Pete rear suspension is still around? I'm going to be needing a cab for a restoration coming up shortly. I also have another class coming up in OKC sometime during the summer so will drive down to visit again.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Rob Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thanks RobI will see what I can find out for you.BobWhy don't you get that "C" model up here and plan to stay a couple weeks? You could bunk in my rental house and we'd get something done on that truck in short order. You could prolly drive it back home.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
