So far I have found out they were most commonly used in Kenworth, Mack, Peterbuilt and White.

That is interesting about that box being used on a Mack truck. I was at Drive Train Industries last week getting new brake shoes for the front of my 05. He told me I took the last pair of shoes and he probably would not get any more. He also told me that the same shoe was used on earlier model tandum Mack trucks. I wonder if when looking for parts for our bus we should look more at Mack trucks.
