Jon, The rule of thumb is to start asking high!! Then you can bargain down and the buyer thinks he is getting a good deal!!!

NO.. The majority are Australian trucks even though several are American trucks he has imported. There were a few years that LHD vehicles were allowed be used in Australia. The Mayne Nickless H model is one of them. Paul Mrs Mack can clarify better. Tony was also a Cat dealer at one time and his restoration shop is pictured in the old Cat building.

Paul, Thank you for that post. Australia's biggest conservator of Mack equipment and history is probably Tony Champion of Rockhampton QLD. Below is a link to the pictures of my visit to his facility in 2015. Click on the picture and the album will open.The R-800 in one of the first back lot pictures is now restored and there was an article about it in a recent ATCA Double Clutch magazine.

Congratulations!!!!! How did you do it??? Diet??? Exercise??? I am 6'4" and have dropped from 250 when driving to 235 in retirement, but would still like to get back to about 200.. I have the arthritis problem in my hips as well as fighting sugar.

As a kid the calves we bought to raise for beef became as much a pet as anything.

Tom, This is sad to hear. But it fits with "New Breed" of trucker who do NOT know that to sit down at a relaxing meal makes them safer on the highway as well as keeping their blood pressure down. Most all of the family style restaurants, that had truck parking, that I used to frequent have gone entirely or are no longer 24/7.. Pilot was one of the worst for remodeling the restaurants they bought with a D-8!!

GW, May Rory RIP.. My thoughts are with you as I can still remember some of the dogs I have had over the years.

The truck definitely looks like they could have fitted a 12V71 instead of the 8V71?? -

The LTH looks great just as it is!!!!!! Presently it is in its historically relevant retired horse van operating colors. I would not paint it or change anything unless I found its true colors from Alaska??? -

Here is a picture, from 2013, of one of the long doubles Far North mentioned above. The second picture is of a truck trailer combo I played hopscotch with on the approximately 250 miles from Tok AK to Dawson YK, 120 miles of which was dirt road.

Found it!!! That article was well written. I hope you can get a couple of extra copies?? Dawson will have to preserve one so he can show it off when he is your age.. Attending that exhibition and meeting the Mack CEO will be a highlight of both your lives, to remembered for all time. Dawson will be the top kid at his school's Show and Tell!!! -
