DON'T CCKW DO IT!!!

Post by Joe Gopan » Sat Apr 24, 2010 7:18 pm

It may be tempting, but one must consider the age and parts availibility before posing your CCKW for photos in various contortions that involve portraying the front and rear axle assemblies at the extreme opposite limits of their "up and down" motion. 70 year old torque rods with ends seated in rubber and even those with ball seats are not as strong as they used to be. A torque rod failure at travel speed can be fatal to both the truck and the owner.
Be kind to your old CCKW. :wink:
