 Side view of the rear 65k suspension. NOT a 65K rear axle or suspension, In fact, NOT EVEN on a FK, or any F for that matter. ap40 |

I assume you are referring to the orange chain drive rear, It IS a 1936 Mack narrow pneumatic riggers suspension, with a over & under spring pack. I built a model of THAT truck for the owner about 10 years ago. Here is a shot of the underside of my model. Attachment Deleted AP40 |

Nothing from the NP chain drive & the FK chain drive interchange.

I was referring to the rear suspension i had a feeling it may not have been a mack fk but that suspension can be used on any mack chain drive like fk,fj,fc.

You sir are INCORRECT, the NP is unique to the AC, AP series of trucks built by Mack. The springs, jackshaft, jackshaft mounts, radius rods, axles, all hangers are 100% DIFFERENT on the FK, FC, FJ, FH, FW, FT The photo you posted of the orange chain drive is in fact a MACK, a AC-6, narrow pneumatic, as equipped from the factory, 12x 24 rubber on budd wheels, Mack factory built winch & a HB-600 Cummins for power. NOTHING from the AC-6 will work on a FK. AP40 |

I stand corrected thanks Rick i need a refresher on the chain drive macks any suggestions last time i bounced around on my first attempt to build the FK.This will be my second attempt to try and build one what would be the best starting point.I do have some info on the truck the dimensions are ok.I have had to many fumbles on many of my truck projects to pass this opportunity up.I am focused 100% i have to scratch,mold/cast,build this truck as detailed as the real one.
