great job it will be a shame to get it all dirty Paul

Great pictures Guy thanks for taking the time to share Vlad I wouldnt think the walking beam would be a problem except for the ride my low loader has solid walking beam on a triaxle and it rides as smooth as silk I think it might have a lot to do with the third axle as well though Paul

there's a place in Brisbane that can tell you all of that stuff I dont no who they are but your local Mack dealer can give you there number they are the people to call when you wanna get a Mack or White re rated in Australia they have all the specs and can tell you what has to be changed to get the bigger rating then once done you take it your local dealer they view and confirm the changes give you a letter then mail it off its that simple Paul

I'll be watching this space for the pictures

Ok fellas I asked the question on another forum does anybody no who made Macks or imported or assembled Macks in the Scotland and no one seems to no any thing about it how ever I'll just put up a link to the forum doodah over in pommy land and you can read it for your selves http://www.classicmachinery.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=1830&start=1940 http://tractors.wikia.com/wiki/FTF_Trucks let us no what you all think I feel the Macks made in Essex would be the ones that had no relation ship to Mack or maybe ??? and the FTF Holland company I have never heard of before but that dosnt really mean much as there is whole big world out there I have never really heard much about seeya Paul

Yeah pretty tough loosing a mate like that The pooches put the human to shame most times I was a shattered man when my old blue dog dropped off the perch a few years ago Paul

I would have thought the whole truck should be 12 volt ????? but who knows everything is different Paul

They were certainly that for sure but they did make a lot of people a lot of money in their day as Ken says a good honest worker they were used as interstate trucks and all hard to believe today but that was the way it was back then even in the early eightys a lot of interstate trucks didnt have sleepers on them just slept as best as you could and no one new any better Good job on that one Ken Paul

Better tell your Dad to stop drag the chain

Ron I would be surprised if there wasnt a shortage of most workers as I feel most kiwi's are over here or at least a whole heap of them are I think the US is the only country were there has to be a proven need before you can get a Visa I dont think the people from south of the border care to much about that though Paul

Looks real good to me top job Paul

Thanks Paul I dont know were find all of this information yep as what was said above the B61 only it's mother could love it to put that much effort in and thats the result reminds me a bit of the Ford Edsel they put a huge amount of effort in and the end result was well how should I put it "NOT PETTY" The F 715 looks like a Scamell Crusader cab from the UK with a bit different grill How we going kv are we getting closer to answering your question ?? Paul
