    Thanks for that Paul. Looks like it is Kingsford-Smith.

    Forgive me cause I've been under a rock... What's the latest one? Southern Cross? I missed that one.

    Great story. Good to see him working it still. What a difference it makes having no drivers through a truck. The blue mountains just west of steak and kidney (Sydney) will occasionally get snow. Makes news usually if it does. I've been watching hwy through hell and ice road trucks and yeah, I'll leave that cold stuff to you guys!

    So what percentage of working truck would be affected by this? I mean surely no great saving of emissions will come come of this.
  5. Timmyb
    Well done. That will give you a bit to work on over your winter.

    Truck looks familiar. I distinctly remember seeing that bullbar somewhere. Was previous owner a member of this site? Anyway it's a very nice machine and congratulations on the new dog.

    Sorry to hear about the loss of your shed. But sounds like you done well to save your home so that's a positive! So... There were no scantily clad women there to inspect why the fire started?
  8. Timmyb
    Sure, send away. I've gotta fair few holes so it's always good to get a 2nd option. Thanks mate.

    Cab or chassis? I know an old bloke who put grease nipples in his chassis and would pump grease in there to stop rust. It would drip out on hot days and make a mess.

    We had new steel ones made for my dad. We gave them the old tanks, they kept the steps and filler neck and rest was new. New tanks you can have set up any way you like.

    My thoughts to you Ed. Sounds like your giving it your all, keep positive mate. And guys, maybe a timely reminder to get ourselves checked out huh?

    Looking good! Would of taken me a year to do what you've done in a few weeks.

    Yoos brothers construction did it recently on a superliner. Page 2. Not sure what brand he used. I know 3m do some and most 3m stuff is pretty good.

    Im thinking it might have a rubber block type suspension hidden under the beam.

    This is handy to know! I've always wanted to travel to the USA but the cost of accomodation would of been too much.

    I know parts are rare for these things so I thought I'd share the link. No connection to me, but it's about 1hr away so could help if required. Oh, I'm just assuming the 375hp v8 is an 866. If I'm wrong correct me and I'll adjust title. Mack F700 on Gumtree http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1129682374?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social&utm_source=sms

    I've not seen flex pipe like that before. It looks quite thin, although it's hard to tell from photo. The type I've used is as per photo below. Mind you, I doubt it could flex that tight radius your after.

    For what it's worth most sands we use is regulated as to how much silica is in it. Most modern "sand" is supposed to have a max 1% silica content. Normal sand contains 90% silica. My mate said he would never use that even with a mask.

    I sympathise with you. I wasnt aware the "new breed" trucks used a Volvo chassis. Sure it makes monetary sense, but that means nothing when you've invested your heart and soul with a brand. I hope you sort out your difficulties with your current truck, and it all turns out ok.
  20. Timmyb
    You guys are looking at it wrong. This site isn't about our hate for Volvo, it's for our love of Macks.
  21. Timmyb
    Most guys around here use a redish coloured sand. I had a mate use plain sand, that is until he found out it causes silicosis and he stopped using it pretty quick.

    Thank you Paul. I appreciate the advice.
  23. Timmyb
    Thanks for your opinions guys. I guess it's worth a try as at the moment I don't have an alternative. Arc or mig a better way? I think with a short rod on the arc I could probably get both sides welded. Vlad, how about I meet you half way? 😜

    Hi guys. Ive been searching for either a 38 or 44 housing to complete my back end. Not having a lot of luck though. I did find a cracked 38,000 housing which I could basically have for nothing. It's cracked where the diff centre bolts in. Are fabricated housing easier to repair than a cast housing? Or is it still a waste of time trying? Ive also read that it's usually the back diff which cracks. So if it was repaired and ran in the front would this help any? Included is a pic of the crack. It's about 3 inches long.

    I wouldn't wanna drive that bare foot!
