    Part 2 now for some Aussie Leaders you should be able to see how close they looked at the start and then they changed a bit but it was still fairly easy to the Mack mold in there Now for some Leaders with set back front axle As you all can see I got a bit carried away with pictures sorry about that .I reckon I can still see the Mack truck in the sleeper part of the cab in some anyway If you have all seen these before please disregard if not I guess I might have taught you something Full credit to who ever took the photos to start with seeya Paul

    Part 1 Now I dont know about grab handles but I think this bit of the cab is the main bit that is different did they make Mack F models with a set back front axle anywhere else in the world The people that owned Mack Australia at the time Westco also owned Leader Trucks that used a common mold with the Mack it later changed to a slightly different mold but they had the set back front axle as well some plastic cab Aussie Macks with out the long step hand rail pretty sure the long step hand rail doodah was only used on day cabs I reckon the red one might be a V8 with twin pipes cont

    I guess one way of looking at is out here people had that type of power pulling road trains over god knows what to god knows were and they seemed to go ok so I reckon a tip truck would be more than fine Paul
