  1. Sorry been a bit busy last few days, finally got some happy snaps As you can see they are a genuine Mack part, there's all the numbers off them I doubt chromed these after they are made as they are two pieces, the cap in the middle is a separate piece that is pressed in like a welch plug, think you blokes call the frost plugs Anyway thats them Paul
  2. Well I think Mack as my 58's are chromed and Mack is cast into them Even the covers for the trunnions were chromed, very little chrome remains now as it has come off with stone chips Paul
  3. Full syncro, used to call them banana boxes back in the day They must be fairly different to drive because a lot of Road Ranger fellas broke them pretty quick lol I think they are a good box if you know how to handle them I have never driven one ,neighbours growing up had them on logging for many many years and thats who told me all about them, they must have worked out fine as they bought more Paul
  4. Looks like Brussels to with that doohikie in the back ground, built fgor the world fair and called the Atomium, I think thats what it is I reckon this a Dutch based truck, there was a mob that ran a whole heap of these painted this way , Vlad will know a lot more than me Paul
  5. Looks like a Mack dealer ship in Spain Picture bellow is Olloquiegui Transportation of Pamplona Spain Open to correction on these two Freshly flogged from Facebook Paul
  6. Funny fellas My party has just begun, work came to a abrupt hault so time to put my feet up Paul
  7. Some more photos, please be aware none of these are mine at all I've never been to Europe or the Middle East but feel they are to good not to share so full credit to whom ever the original photographer's are I have plenty more to share Just if you can for a moment, imagine how influential Mack was once around the world Paul
  8. Check out this built in bunk, I have seen others before Paul
  9. Thanks Chris, some history and context to go with the pictures I think that driving a truck thru all those different countries would have had challenges that US and Australian drivers could never imagine Paul
  10. When the cool powered motors arrived on the scene Paul
  11. Wow and wow Pretty cool stuff there Mike and welcome Paul
  12. Good to see yah back on here stranger Paul
  13. Joe I couldnt answer either of those questions I could try and find out if you like, it might take a while Paul
  14. Who Federal, got taken over by Napco and built crabe chassis I believe for some time before been shut down in the late 50's Paul
  15. Neither of you, looks like a Federal to me, the pressings in the cab, the cut outs in the bonnet ( hood for you lot )and the Federal badge just above the head light Paul
  16. Yeah a creep, prick or a asshole He was a good actor, I dont think all his parts were that way, I think most of us associate him with that type of character Paul
  17. I wouldn't complain Good to have a rest, even if its unplanned and unwanted Trying living in Australia were most of us go 7 days a week, week in week out, we generally don't mind a day off no matter the reason why Paul
  18. Some more A lot of people I think fail to understand just how far and wide Mack was in the world Paul
  19. In my unimportant opinion it is one of the best looking Superliners I have seen on here I remember when you got it and the tidy up you did Dunno were I would find that thread on here now It sure came up a treat Paul
  20. Federal looks 6x6 Would make it pretty rare if it was Paul
  21. Yep the world is sure in a mess over something we cant see taste smell or feel Im fortunate or unfortunate enough to remember the last big crash in Australia in the late 80's early 90's so took very drastic and decisive measures early on I'm not sure what everyone else is doing in Australia but people are just starting to look at the longer term effect of Covid 19 in the weeks months and year ahead I think only now are Mum and Dads getting concerned Hopefully for them it isnt all to late but I feel unfortunately really tough times are fairly likely ahead for a lot of us Paul
  22. Nope, have never seen drivers that cool in Australia, doesn't mean they aren't I just mix in the uncool circles Paul
