Rebuild of the firetruck rear end.

Unknown

Thanks to Alcar Bearing of North Carolina, I have my rear end on my

firetruck completed and it is not that hard to do either. A very

simple but well built Timkin rear end. Napa had one bearing from San

Diego and Race in Denver. At that rate it would Christmas in 2006

before I had all the bearing for a complete job. George of Olcar

matched up all the bearing numbers in two hours and I received them in

five working days. With holidays and such I should be back on the

road by Jan. Too many things happing to get down and dirty right now.

That because I am a first time grandfather and the little kritter is

taking most of our time. Spare time of course. With his grip, he

should do fine as a Hudson machanic. Takes after his grandpa of

course.
