Hi Rob. Thats pretty standard now, lot of the rigs are getting pretty blinged up, must be the US influence? http://kloscustomtrucks.blogspot.com/2009/06/ajs-pride.html'>http://kloscustomtrucks.blogspot.com/2009/06/ajs-pride.html if you want to see some more blinged up aussie rigs check this site out. http://kloscustomtrucks.blogspot.com/ Enjoy Monty

David, Most of the trucks/ blokes move it to the right hand side to reduce the noise from the exhaust. Door? why fix it ifts not broke? i guess all the mounts etc have been set up for that thats side, it is a pain in the arse, but getting in and out is easy and you can use the door to heave your self up as you know it wont swing out far. looking at it a 2nd time its got a collection of all different bits of old macks. -Monty

Hi Mate so you have got your self an R model.? it be this for example http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140352921652&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT have been looking at it. ill tell you that it is not a 74 model, unless some one has replaced it with an old motor and a quad box. i think that was originally a flitnstone mack and someone has put a fiber glass bonnet on the old truck. good luck with her mate, you can check out my gallery for my R. -Monty

remember to take some picks we love picks

Thanks for that Kav

Hi Fellas. Just wanted to ask all you smart and knowledgeable blokes what is the best way of flushing and cleaning the coolant/water out of the radiator and engine block. I have been told to get it hot flush the old water out, fill it up again with some radiator cleaner get it hot again then flush it out and fill it up with the mack premix lime cordial, i can get the Mack cordial at cost so that healps with the $$ also i would think that it would also be a good idea to put in a new water filter -Monty
