I'm not a truck driver, but I once road in my Uncle's Mack, so I'm kind of an expert.

I know they had CCW cams available for marine use (and V drive Buses)... wasn't that hard on the cam?
Thank you... but rank amateur when it comes to the big stuff. I was always happy dealing with parts I could pick up by myself.

Ah.... such fond memories of the good old days...
