Block – RA1061862

Cataloged by Raymond as a machined chassis component, this block mounts within the truck to locate, support, or anchor an adjacent part, giving the parts around it fixed mounting points to bolt or pivot against. Its machined faces and bores set the position of whatever fastens to it, so its dimensions are what hold the surrounding assembly in the right place.

Supplied as a single Raymond piece matched to the position it was cataloged for, it carries the mounting holes and bores where the mating parts expect them, so it installs into the same location without rework. A structural block of this kind is replaced when its bores wear oversize, its mounting holes elongate, or the block is cracked or damaged, any of which lets the parts it anchors shift out of position.

Match it against the block coming off the truck by its mounting holes, bore sizes, and overall form before installing, since blocks that share a name can differ in bore and bolt pattern from one Raymond series to the next and the mounting geometry has to line up with the existing structure.
