No doubt how good the Scania is they sold a bucket load out here and still are selling them and yeah I think they are all still running about Never seen one of those NZ ones with the axle forward And I didnt know the LK were a special still learning stuff Paul

I doubt the US ugly plastic looking trucks get better fuel efficiency than any Australian truck just think about few things our fuel costs a lot more our trucks cost a lot more we travel on a lot more sub standard roads So I reckon our trucks would be just as good on fuel as any US truck and they look a bucket load better as well its almost like the US truck industry is trying to go out of business !!!! The answers simple stop telling people what they want and start asking !!!! I guarantee it works every time Paul

well its taking some searching Im no good on this Face Book garbage but found some photos of the truck and Trans am (Hmmmmm that dont look like how you spell Trans am to me but I leave it for you blokes to sort out lol ) Yeah it's not same truck at all not even close but somebody has been having fun and I guess thats all that really matters Dunno about them hands in the picture on the taut liner looks like a five year old drew them LOL but hey its part of the fum of it all Do you blokes have taut liners in the US ???? cant say I have ever seen pictures of them over there ?? And a short video please excuse the dick heads you can hear in the back ground they are the reason I dont really go to shows to many knobs with a gut full of grog and a big mouth spoil the night for so many (wankers should stay at home or better still get a job and then they might actually appreciate what goes into these trucks and not make such stupid comments we are arent all dick heads like the ones you can hear out here ) Paul

nah dont grab my fancy at all sorry KW your loosing the plot Paul

Well it was mentioned out here in the land of OZ or as like to call it "This wide brown land " I had no idea what VJ day was had to Google it, we call it VP day Do gooders the world over are trying to get rid of of these days of importance stuff them I say if we forget history we are more likely to repeat the same mistake and to try and forget the men that gave us our freedom thats a disgrace If I remember I will share something I came across that a US pilot left a Australian pilot in New Guinea during WW2 the AIr Force in the Pacific was like no other fighting unit in any other theater of war before or since the allies shared the crews parts planes and worked as one whole unit there was officially the US air wing the RAAF RNZAF and the RAF and no doubt whole heap of others in the big mix but on the ground and in the air they all worked as one I dont think it has ever happened since In Australia we value our history of what our men and women did a lot higher I think than a lot of other countries ( I say I think I dont know but just what I read I tend to think we do) Theres a mob down Melbourne way fixing up a Liberator bomber and they had a open day to raise some funds I asked some questions about the US air wing in Europe as I new the losses were high due to day light bombing, if you dont know the US lost 79,000 air men in Europe alone I then I read on here how these types of things arent been taught at your schools thats a real shame I guess all I can say I hope you all teach your kids and grand kids all about what was given for the freedom at home as it appears from what I reading the government is not gunna teach them any of this at school such a shame to all the men that fought to free the world so that I can live in a free country thank you and to all the women who gave so much in so many different ways thank you as well Paul

Neo welcome mate A while ago a fella was on here asking for parts and Mack stuffed him around he gave us the part number and just punched it in and the parts were easy to come by over seas and in the US they are a great little truck I reckon Paul

yours doesnt have a hand primer on the side of the injector pump ????? Paul

Jack its a funny world we live in if I spoke about some thing my wife had like yours did about your float I would be the biggest a hole in the world but the sheilas they speak there mind about our toys and get away with it LOL I guess why they are picking on our toys we are still buying them Float has come up a treat mate should be proud hows the new shed coming along ??? Paul

You'll get your self in trouble with that one Timmy you will drag to many bargains and must have items home, I know I would Paul

They will be all 20 inch wheels because thats all we use out here Im thinking the old 711 as well but not enough there to know for sure Paul

To new for me to be of any help sorry Paul

You are right about them been a bit lite on for detail. And hows that US brochure 1 sheet of paper? You good onya. If people are gonna spend some decent coin, they wanna know what they are buying. Come on Mack USA get your act together. You are really letting the team you wanna convince truck drivers to give up the Road Ranger and Maxi Torque get off your bums Mack USA and go out there and show the drivers teach the drivers FFS pre school grade kids good do a better job of selling them Kevin, does Mack USA do a traveling Road Show like they do out here? Have a group of trucks that travel all over the country giving people drives of these new trucks or do they think people are gonna just roll in off the street and ask for something different? When the Maxidyne was released out here, they did the same style of thing and when Super-Liners and ..................... the list goes on. You want people to buy something, they have to know what it is and why. rant over Paul

That oil filter would tell someone smarter than the newest it could be dunno wont be any newer 71 or 72 as Mack had spin filters with extended service interval around that time Back axles if you can see the hubs should also give some hints as to how big the truck is , I cant see no turbo so if it 34 ass end it may have been a Power Pup, Mack turbos on these motors sort of sat forward of the oil filter if its non turbo I think it would be only around 150 hp maybe 160 at the most A whole lot of guessing going on from me Sorry Im not gunna be of much help here Paul

Mad dog welcome to the forum Im not a big Mad Max fan but thats just me so I dunno much about the movies Cundalini is still looking for his hand the old Falcon was a cool looking gadget and the Mad Max off road runner is cooler I reckon Mad Max 3 I have never been able to watch and I havent even bothered trying watch the latest offering The best R model was in the first movie with the folder on the back What makes you think it isnt a cool power the R model in the second flick ???? Paul

sorry Swishy I was only just clicked the enter the room button and called away so had to bugger off again bad manners on my behalf Paul

good on them I hope they have a great time and make memories for a life time Paul

Well there's a big difference in the styles of ads LOL I know which add portrays a tougher image. I'll let you all make your choice. Not one Mack working hard in one of them, the other is full of trucks working. And what's the go with the pretty music. LOL. Only music you should hear should be from the truck. And they wonder why they can't sell trucks ??????? Paul

most times Im not a big fan when old trucks are done up like this but this one looks like it has come together real nice to me Paul

From what I am told a lot of M drives sold out here pulling a lot bigger weights than the US surely that that must something Paul

they getting ready for a drought Swishy I see one them sheilas is testing the unbreakable Hilux No good them sheilas all hanging over the Diamond T they will scratch and mark the duco at least get her heels off hang just be sure might as well rip the rest off as well Paul

Maybe Swishy and I was saying gudday and hows it going no reply so dunno if our writing can be seen in the US or not ??? Paul

Swishy and I are in the chat room at the moment and people come and go we say gudday and no answer can the US see us chatting in Australia ?? Paul
