This picture may help you. Exhaust of an Aussie Valueliner, similar exhaust post to your Mack. This was the original exhaust from factory, no muffler. -

Superliner 2 cab and hood on CL700 frame
harrybarbon replied to 1951 Mack LJ's question in Mack Truck Q & A
Consider Moving backwards the radiator motor and gearbox to align with the RW713 hood guards centre with the CL 700 front axle and then the cabin, that would be the practical and should allow the steering to remain in place as is. You can modify the cab mounts to fit. You can fit shorter parabolic springs. -
How could anyone take these 2 seriously especially in the international arena apart from within the country.
-
Dave, please what engine and gearbox on no 35?
-
you cant be serious(the 2!) π

History is ignored to suit and justify people's fundamentally wrong and selfish choices for their sole enjoyment of homes in the hills. We will have to pay for the increased insurance premiums. The commentary is clear, the FD could not and would never overcome the Santa Ana and fire and again in 2025. The area should be returned to nature and new residential quarters built in appropriate zones, without the risks. And the same for the houses along the ocean front, erosion will take the sand and whatever is there, so why build houses. We have the same issues here in Australia. Buyers have paid up to $AUS 30M for beachfront properties in Byron Bay. Not even 20 years ago there was a road between the properties and the water edge. Now the road is long gone and the sea is eating towards the houses. Maybe time for a rethink!

Movie - TWINS! - Danny and Arnold. Scientists created Dolly the sheep and more afterwards. I would not be surprised that such human experiments could happen if not already in certain countries. We have no idea what is really happening in the clandestine labs around the world. For human reproduction, the fundamental basis of our human existence, it should remain with the natural female. The money should be spent on helping and improving that unique wonder of our being, that includes IVF done between a man and a real woman. ππ«°it does not happen and not exposed to our innocent children.

It's pulling a heavy load, they were built tough and still going. Perfect for the Aussie outback, fully air conditioned. But they were not successful in Australia.

My dad had Parkinson's, the slow version, he had it about 15 years. I spent a lot of time with him, going places, getting him to walk as best he could. All the video clips of Biden I have seen is very close to my dad's limited movements and confusion. Since my dad passed in 2001, there have been advancements in the Parkinson drugs, so Biden's medical team have been giving him the latest and best drugs available, so he has been juiced up well and truly for a while. I am surprised that they did not remove Biden from his post. Or Joe and Jill refused to concede. Jill's body language at Carter's funeral tells a story.

Joey, you are in a perfect position to make a worthwhile investment that will pay for itself in a short time. The new world technology is now available to buy. I think that within 3 months you should be able to buy the Strike Technology retro fit kit in USA. Sales have commenced by the Thailand licence holder, Plasmoid Power Ltd @ $US 647 plus delivery. PP is a subsidiary of a UK parent company that has the licences for Thailand, Malaysia and Nigeria and all the electric power plants (coal and gas) in India.. The technology runs on very little fuel, eliminates all pollutants and the exhaust outlet produces 99% oxygen at 19 degrees celcius and a clean engine because there is no carbon in the motor. Reduces engine service and extends oil life in the motor plus extra 70% engine power. You can run a pipe from the exhaust into your home and that will be your air con service, near pure at at 19 degrees. That is healthy air to breathe. So you can remove 1 a/c unit and all the issues with the a/c unit. You cannot adjust the oxygen temp, that is how it comes out. Maybe the inventor will come up with a way to convert the oxygen into a warmer temp in the future so it can heat in the winter months. For you, being a mechanic you should be able to retro fit the kit to your genset unit in 2-3 hours and then go. Anyone who has a decent working older reliable genset can become independent of the power grid and save big $'s. A guy in Nth Carolina has fitted the system onto his 6cyl 1956 Chevy and it works very well. There will be more world news about this new technology soon, watch this space.

No this was not their B model. The B80 was stored somewhere else. -

Joey, I learnt to drive in my dad's K3, ex army truck, dual rear wheels and box tray body. During the grape season, dad loaded 4 tonnes of wine grapes to deliver to the Italians for their home made vino. The springs were so bent that the tray floor was just off scrubbing on the tyres and front pointed up, steering was so lite. Never could happen today. Dad stuck it into 1st gear to go down any steep roads because the brakes were useless. But never any accidents. -

Hi Brocky, yes it is Ian's Chief. It is now owned by a guy in Brisbane who owns a major transport operation, another great guy and a gentleman. Ian was restoring the guy's B80 at the time of your visit. When the guy and his wife were at Ian's to see the B80 in progress, the wife saw Ian's chief, she asked if it was for sale and that afternoon they bought it. It is in an excellent home. -
I understand why the European semi trucks are nearly all cab overs. During my recent visit to Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and Ireland their cities are 100's of years old and the roads are all narrow, virtually made before motor vehicle times. Their trucks have to be short wheel base, small and tight turning circles. Their trucks/tractors are short wheel base and mostly single drive, no tag axles, trailers are about 40 feet or bit longer and the trailer tandem or triaxles are close to the centre of the trailer to allow them to get around tight corners. I drove thru some towns in the Alps, these semis went around corners in the towns like cars with their relatively short turning circle. I watched many go thru the towns in awe of how easy the drivers cruised in and around the streets and corners and bends on their narrow roads with walls and buildings virtually by the curbside. They hardly moved over the other side of the roads and streets to go around corners. The same for their rigids. The US and Aussie conventional trucks with long trailers, axles at or near the rears would be impossible to drive in European towns and cities. And spread axle trailers, no way.

Paul, I agree LTL's are the number 1 classic Mack and maybe of all classic trucks. Brocky, do you remember the Chief below, that Ian Lee, restored etc. The black coloured LTL was Ian's before he bought it from the US? -
And Xmas greetings and a wonderful 2025 from Melbourne Australia πππΎ

D/T had the International petrol/gas motors and I think the same gearbox.
-
Same Cummins in Inter R200 with 10 spd R/Ranger O/Drive - 1965 model we owned some years ago. It was a US import to Australia.

Paul isn't NZ farmers that wear gum boots because it's always wet, maybe to keep the sleep feet warmπ
