All looking good to me dunno about the rack doodah not my cup of tea but not truck either so it doesnt matter Is drom a brand or a name you fellas call them like your head ache rack or our bull bars ?? Doing great work there and it looks like your doing a whole heap with out spending a big heap of coin thats what I always advise people to do its amazing how much can be done if you just take your time and have a go Good work and thanks for sharing Paul

that would be a Super Hippo or at least that is what we called them out here a Hippo was a cab over and a Super Hippo has a bonnet they were used on road trains and heavy haulage in Australia not many left now Paul

I wonder did the Aussie ones have the bonnets or hoods and side skirts all made here as they are different than the above pictured US one or did the US also make the same style as well ?? Paul

Grayhair your right on all accounts but I reckon the US of yesterday just like the Australia of yesterday we went and helped those who needed a hand not because we had to but because it was the right thing to do But yes these people have got to help them selves as well and running away isnt really helping them selves is it So Im far from being politically correct but the biggest wars that Australia and the US have fought in havent being on their own soil and Australia who has jumped into these bigger wars did years before the US to help people in need in a country that didnt ask for our help it was done because it was the right thing to do and we need to remember that because that is what made Australia the great place that it is today our willingness to help people who need help Paul

So did Ford in the US have a Aero Max like the Australian one ???? Paul

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM theres so much I could say but the simple fact is these people should be allowed to live in their own country and the real crime is the fact that our own countries dont have the balls to stand up for the people in these countries to step in and protect them and their rights before these fruit loops get a toe hold it is a crying shame that we as people stand by and let this happen to our fellow man and we should hang our heads in shame that we allow this to go on rant over Paul

Like all of these things there is always more to the story than any of us will no about it will be interesting to see if anyone can find it on ebay or craigs list Paul

The whole floor in one day you better start now thats gunna be a big day looking good though keep at it its amazing how much work is in all of this stuff Paul

yeah dunno about anything much I prefer spiders as we call them but I gotta admit the the shiny budd style of wheel looks pretty snazzy to me as well so top job you've done their Paul

Didnt I tell you take your money with you I dunno once you have paid and got the receipt its very hard for him to back out of the deal not to worry it may get a lot cheaper for you yet once he realizes that even on fleabay or craigs list he has buckleys and none of getting what he dreams of as that great old Aussie movie says LOL Paul

I hope it all works out for them any family business needs all the luck the can get Paul

Good point Timmy Paul

You quote the fuel mileage been better than expected I have asked this before and I will ask again encase you missed my last question last time just what is the mileage these fleets are getting and is this a documented mileage and what sort of weight terrain are these trucks running on Or I guess another way to look at is what is How does the mileage compare to the older fleet ????? Paul

put an air gauge in the air line supplying the reverse air ram and see what the air pressure is might have a crook regulator I think its meant to be around 50 - 60 psi Paul

hope he is feeling better soon Paul
