Sonny ... I'm just laying it down and keeping it real :). Think I'm a smart ass ? Could be as " Boss Glen" trained us that way . And at the same time instilled confidence in the youth during the training . https://www.becherkluesner.com/obituaries/Glen-Fleck/

Sorry guy's ! I was watching that pathetic debate while posting on Heavy Truck Forums last night . LOL ! :D Good Lord !
We still have 8 trucks that use " Hendrickson " type suspension so these threads are of interest .:cool:
The 1969 FWD truck uses a funky " split flange cap " close to...
Good deal ! But I would not grab a cut-off saw on a simple torch job sonny ;)
You drop the beams but still got the cap's /puck stuck in the hangers ?
I truly value the youth as they be the future of the country and gonna share whatever might help them to win ! 🇺🇸
Something like this .
After the bolt was removed would fire up the torch and start slicing through the bolt hole working outwards to the flat part of the cap flange to split the cap or get dang close to doing so without damaging the beam hanger .:) It would help relieve the pressure ...
Or leave everything in place and send a young feller under that's good with a torch . Remove the bolt and slice the pucks through the center with some heat and rattle them out with an air hammer . Drop and install one beam at a time . :) That's how we do it .;)
Back in the late 1970's & early 80's I always enjoyed watching the old " Son Of Svengoolie " show out of Chicago featuring classic horror films .

Sorry Steve . My clutch peddle comment was understated . LOL!
Gosh …. It's probably close to a 60 # push ! :LOL: You sure as hell take the truck out of gear at the stop light !
Driver needed them " cornbread & beans " back then to finish out the shift . :)
I sure did not realize they had that capability in the 1940's :cool:
The transmitter unit in the trunk was interesting and they mentioned a larger batterie and generator for the vehicle . It must have pulled the juice on a call .
Fired up the Galaxie this evening took it to town for fuel . I need to replace the fuel tank sender so the fuel gage will work .
Pretty nice evening for late February .(y)
And there's what the Cummins fuel button looks like .

Man I had almost forgot about Uno's pizza . Remember a few stores but never tried it .
Hang on a second ??? We still got one in Indy ! Next time your in town for the " Indy 500 " can grab a slice of Uno's . LOL:)https://www.unos.com/
Those 4000's were pretty common to see on the road though the 1970's & 80's . Good trucks overall . Only complaint I have with ours is the clutch peddle is a little stiff but ya got used to it . LOL ! :D
