  1. This is an update on my recent post, it is a youtube video by Jordan at Alchemical Science, one of many posted by Jordan, an Australian physicist who has been following and investigating this new technology for at least 2 years. Bob Greenyer is an engineer who has been following this new technology for some time. In this video Jordan confirms the Indian navy to trial the technology. The Modi government of India has to resolve 2 major challenges for the future of India, 1/ Expand the energy supply to meet the huge growing demand for energy to power it's economy, which will surpass the Chinese economy. Currently India is the biggest coal user and it is forecast to double within 5 years or sooner if it is continued to be used to run the power generators and 2/ Chronic pollution across the country, which if not resolved will reduce economic development and growth.
  2. This is the future in many ways. Please have a read of the attached newspaper article that was published in a local Australian newspaper in Jan 2024. This is NO SHAM, the Indian govt is onto the technology exactly as it is reported in the article. The technology works as you will discover if you get into reading about it. There are many critics BUT they are lost in their bubble of controlled thinking and education. Just like the critics said the earth was flat. Then if you are interested to get more information, go to Strike Foundation.org and Alpha Prospects UK. There are a number of youtube videos to checkout to watch this world changing technology. With this new technology there will be retrofit units made so that our classic cars and trucks etc can continue to roam the highways indefinitely. And for the people wanting to operate their older trucks etc in the states like California, it will be the way to go.
  3. Thanks for posting.
  4. These look like Japanese trucks we have in Australia.
  5. Scania with Ford badge.
  6. Try Restoration Specialties USA, they have all the rubber and foam for the clearance lights.
  7. Try contacting Gary Richards, he is on facebook in the Mack Valueliners or Aussie Mack Valueliner, he worked at Mack in production.
  8. Speak to Tim Turner at Tylden Heritage, Kyenton VIC, he may have one in stock.
  9. Even after a long working life at old Lou Arthur's, MrsMackPaul is still full of energy. They certainly put their trucks to work and did not worry too much about presentation. Most of Lou Arthur's trucks were bought second hand and maybe some were ex - fuel tankers, Paul do you know the original owner and what it used for?
  10. It has to be the top of the list of classic Macks and all big trucks, particularly as it was early 1950's. The blue one with the E9 & Mercury alloy sleeper, which is still working pulling a tipping trailer during corn harvest, is 👌
  11. Same hood/bonnet as 6 cyl Valueliner in Australia. Neat R model Mack.
  12. Neat and tidy concrete yard and especially Mack.
  13. Volvo or SCANIA ?????? 🤔 What sort of $'s does it cost to land a good used tandem in Canada. Are there any restrictions and conditions to import the Scania's?
  14. Surprised to see the 'MACK' and Doggie on the hood - UPS have always had vehicles supplied with the brand name and emblems removed.
  15. Here is it's history, was owned by Howards Trucking. Does anyone know the history of Howard Trucking. I recall that Howard's had a number of trucks.
  16. is that the one with the 2 dogs on the cowling?
  17. Prices have gone up over there to. A 1987 Superliner day cab, 12 spd was sold for $AUS86,000 plus buying fee maybe 5% online auction last Friday. Average condition.
  18. Here in Melbourne daily I see many Scania truck and dog tipper (both quads and triple axles) units working on our major tunnels, mostly V8's, fully loaded they get up and go like cars. Some of these V8's have modified exhausts - they sound good. They seem very popular in the tipper work for civil works because of their tight steering circle set up.
  19. Well what about our pets, they fart too and it's ....,(my lab has been ... tonight) so will pets be banned soon? 😂🤔
  20. The Iranian F model looks similar to the late 60's F models we had in Australia. That F model and many other Macks were exported to Iran prior to 1982 when it was called Persia, a period that US had close ties. I wonder how and where they obtain parts for their Macks in Iran given the US sanctions.
  21. Interesting Vlad that you have mentioned the 4 lane highways. I have been listening to the BBC news tonight about the Turkish elections. Comment was that current President of 20 years has invested in building infrastructure. These roads seem to reflect that investment, they are major contributors to progress and commerce for the country for many years to come. And as you note trucks that can keep up good road speeds and safety as well. During WW2 the US army had a major civil contractor, Dillingham, build air fields and associated buildings in northern Australia for the Pacific war against the Japanese. After the war, Dillingham saw what the then US President had the government invest in the highways. Dillingham continued to operate in Australia after the war and during the mid 1950's, following the USA government new highways build, it submitted a proposal to the then PM Menzies government in Australia to build a tollways linking Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Menzies rejected the offer. Well by 2009 we finally had a freeway between Melbourne and Sydney, nearly 60 years later. The freeway between Sydney and Brisbane is nearly completed, bar 3 major regional cities (one section has been delayed because of political dancing) and north of Sydney. And sections of the divided highway between Melbourne and Adelaide are completed, and long way to complete. Sadly, the Victorian sections of the highways are in very poor condition due to significant under investment in critical state government road funding. On reflection, it was a mistake by our government to reject the 1950's proposal by Dillingham to build the tollways. All the benefits, economic, road safety for the road users, tourism etc would have paid for the tollroads many years ago. And certainly Australia could have allowed the introduction of the bigger US built trucks as those tollways were being commissioned, which would have also produced many multiple benefits for our country.
  22. HI C Have you tried Tylden Heritage at Kyneton Victoria, they had stock of the V8 emblems, speak to Tim Turner.
  23. Looks like a custom extension! And it spoils the Superliner hood.
  24. Amazing scenery, thank you for the pictures Vlad. And deep snow this time of the year, it has not melted.
