those arent rockies, those are mack axles, i dont know the ratio, if they are out of a mixer truck, they are a hell of a lot bigger than 5 tons, and the shafts should be right around 2 inches, course spline inches, ive done alot of work with those axles.
i just dont see how that motor could have ever pulled even an unloaded mixer truck, they usually weigh in around 36k unloaded, then add 9 yds and your looking at usually 60k or more. i dont see how a little 366 gas motor could move that more than 30 mph, with the 250 and 300 macks....its all one can do to pull65 mph....this is a pretty good deal in my mind, definitly a drivetrain that will hold up to the tires....buy it and build a 500+ horse 502 for it and go have some fun.
only thing that worres me is that frame splice...doesnt look like ther eis ver ymuch penatration

That truck is pretty bad considering all the hacking. I was wondering when someone was going to use steering cemete truck axles..

That chev 366 is a fairly torquey motor (powerband is simialr to the new diseals), but its the gearing in that tranny that would do it, as if that chev 366 can pull our 3 ton grain truck (tandem sized grain box on it) around no problem it should do fairly decent in that beast .

do you hve no common sense? yes i know what gearing is, with that little gas motor, there would be no way in hell that truck would move without at least a mack 5 speed...which is what most mack mixers run...which i guess thats why they had to put a 12 speed behind that motor. maybe it was an old *** truck. I just know i have driven mixer trucks down the road, and even with a 300 mack they are slow as x-mas, because those things are rolling death traps.
do you know nothing about concrete trucks?? if this was really a 6x6 mixer truck i dont see how it would get out of its own way, now that i think about it, the 6 by's are near 40k unloaded. so that would put it to AT LEAST 60k lbs loaded if it had a 9 yd drum
i cant remember if concrete is a ton or ton and a half per yard

Hey ive driven mixers for years and i know that the smallest motor you can get in today mixer is like a 3XX something or another CAT or Cummins, i didn;t even think they made Gas powerd mixers, unless it is ancient.
