My first multifuel?

The photo below will put you on the right track.
The truck is driving very well but now you have to be able to stop it.

I’m guessing a tire and wheel dolly.

Cheer!
Good game.

I made some purchases this week,
Budd Wheel Nut Socket - Square: 21mm
for couple tightening.

 

[foxtrot]

I wanted the adjustable tire lifter but designed for the 11.00 X20 G-744 series.
Two twin tires can be installed.
Once finished I will raise the ribs to give them to you.

Tailor-made.
I can't wait to see the condition of the wheel cylinder.
Next tonight.

Nice set up! Good work!

Great job!

Thanks guys.
The last photos of the weekend.

I like it. With a rig like that you'll be able to pull the hub/drum and wheels off all together

On second thought,
I chose to sand the rear before a coat of primer to dismantle and rebuild.

Photo of the day.
To complete the preparation of the rear of the truck, I still have the face of the left side with its four wheels.

That is looking great!

That beam on top of the leaf springs is weird and not much compression travel to be had. Are all the M39s like that or only certain models?

A little troubled,
the steel company was renamed Dofasco in 1980.
Today ArcelorMittal Dofasco.

I believe this was unique to only the wreckers, all the way up through the M939 series.

The wreckers are generally done that way - with the beam on top of the springs. Just guessing that is an upgrade for vehicles carrying extra weight. Logic says the beam as opposed to a bigger spring pack was because the vehicle needed extra weight capacity for a short term "mission".

Unless your planing on putting 30 k of weight on the truck itself i would go about an inch past the u bolts on that rear suspension and cut the additional anti flex/spring stiffener on both sides of the u bolt so the leaf springs can travel and WAY improve your ride comfort !

I've seen that done.

Also found a truck done that way "down in the back" with a broken spring. The way it's made now - breaking the spring is almost impossible. My mumbly opinion is that if the owner needs a better ride - maybe this isn't the right truck for the job. Or the right truck for the owner. A cargo truck definitely doesn't use that sort of spring system.

Of course everybody has an opinion too...

20-some years ago when I was a hwy supt I obtained a USGI wheel dolly from Watervliet DRMO for the guys to use... It had a manual jack that used the typical folding crank handle typical for a car or pickup .. The guys did not like it because the height of the wheels could not be adjusted to match the angle of an axle, thus it sat and rusted away in a corner .. They continued to use a payloader for the task.. To their credit, it was very rare that they wrecked a new seal
