Geoff Weeks Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Beautiful work. Labor of love not expedience. For a trailer, I would go another route. I got what was left of a parts truck. It had been cut up to make a dump trailer out of a rare tandem drive K series IHC. The complete truck, un cut was worth far more than putting the dump bed on some frame rails and a suspension. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76405-suspension-questions/page/2/#findComment-591650 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IS ::: are You looking to build a truck or trailer. we see this Mack suspension was from a modified trailer. determination is to find a Mack suspension?? as previous stated ; would make more sense if a trailer is being constructed to find a trailer set up building a (Mack) pictures appreciated Sorry for any confusion. Yes we would like to still use this as a trailer. I was hoping to be able to find matching parts as everything bolts together easily. I understand that is becoming a long shot. If I can’t find what I need, we will have to modernize/customize the whole project. Very doable but at a much higher expense.

That part of it was likely a tank of some sort at one time. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76405-suspension-questions/page/2/#findComment-591681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
