Must be budd type wheels as spiders don't have a left or right thread Most truck parts places in Australia would be able to get what you need and even most bolt supply places out here would as well Pull a stud out and take it with you as a sample If you go somewhere and the bloke behind the counter asks for a vin number, your in the wrong place Good luck Paul

No mate, on the Prime net work in Australia , made in the U.S I would guess I think Apple tv has it, I don't have Apple tv but Google tells me it's on Apple Try this link, Paul

Bob, check out the series, she's pretty handy from the front A very nostalgic journey for me watching it Actually all the sheilas are foxes, oh yeah, the French bird, Collette is pretty dreamy Not bad for a frog Paul

Your incorrect Geoff In parrallel the current will flow to thru battery of least resistance on charging which is the highest charge battery The battery with the lowest charge slowly gets further abd further discharged until it's no longer serviceable Anyway I offer my advice and that's all it is, advice There's a good reason why almost everything we use has batteries in series and not in parallel From our mobile phone to the Tesla cars the hipsters drive today Paul

Something to remember is that you can't properly charge batteries in parallel Maybe just try charging a battery at a time or just two in series if you only have a 12 volt charger Paul

Watched the TV series "Pan Am" over last couple of weeks, has a pretty cool bogie drive B model pulling a van trailer Some excitable waitress hitches a ride to Pan Am land in it Paul

Don I have no idea sorry Just try it with out the kick down connected I guess and see what happens Paul

I would think a steel cab would be stronger than a aluminium cab But I dunno what the U.S. has We have a lot of European trucks in Australia Maybe the Freightliner cab, only suggesting this because they are owned by Daimler Benz or Mack with Volvo ownership Paul

Np good soaking a 2 stroke GM in anything to free it up ATF / Acetone just runs out on the ground Runs out the ports and air box drains I know from seeing it happen on the shed in one of 2 stroke GM's Anyway for what it's worth I would check the blowers are free and the lift pump is free before diving right into anything Stuff is easy to break, I also know this experience 🤪 Paul

What's the baby powder for ? Paul

Guessing something from Europe, Scania, Volvo or Benz Maybe DAF Paul

Truck drivers using them as a grab handle I reckon doesn't help Paul

Atkinson trucks made in Australia had fiberglass cabs Anyway, blokes restoring these get them soda blasted to remove all the rubbish and leave just clean fiber glass Maybe a option for someone Paul

You might need to bung a photo up of what type you are chasing as my experience with Mack tells there were a few different styles Paul

Bugger me this is a serious undertaking, way way way out of my comfort zone Sounds like the pictures are to high in resolution (dunno if that's the right word) and by emailing them it shrinks the to a standard size Dunno how to resize the picture on a android let alone a iphone, easy enough on a computer I'm still using my first mobile phone I ever had, it's had a new screen, battery and camera lens in its life but works just fine still The bloke in the phone repair shop has to order the bits but it only takes a day or so I never needed or wanted a mobile phone, I have had this one maybe 5 or 6 years now Paul

A few steps backwards before moving forwards is not unusual in my experience Glad the weather is allowing you some time to work Paul

I never had a air dryer, didnt even know they they existed until a few years ago and all is fine that been said, you need to drain tanks daily in shitful muggy conditions a few times a day The oil stuffs the air valve fittings and pancakes etc as well as o rings I dunno how you stop the oil in the air when it's really muggy, reckon a air dryer would pay for itself pretty quick in that environment, depends were you operate but I don't think it would be a wasted investment Paul

It's definitely well sanded bonnet Some pretty serious repairs to take place, well for me anyway Paul

Brocky we were our own country on January 1st 1901 But we remained British subjects up until 48 The first Australian war that Australia fought under the Australian flag was the Vietnam war Paul

In the add there is a mention of a glider kit So Im guessing it was all put together with what ever was wanted A 350 I doubt was even about in 71, or the bigger cab and so on No matter, to me it's a neat looking truck Paul

The change started in 1948 and was completed in 1984 The date comes from 1948 I think the U.S. is a bit like Australia in the way that before we had federation in 1901 we were made up of colonies, because of this every state celebrated Australia day on a different date when I was young This changed and by the 70's all the states had the same day In the 90's the federal government made it official Paul

26th of January is Australia day It's the day we became Australian citizens and no longer British subjects So from the greatest country on earth to any other Aussies on here, have a great one and keep on living the dream and tell the Looney Left to bugger off HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY Paul

True, it takes a lot for me to work up to a big operation like this though, it isn't something I just jump into These big jobs are a huge undertaking, even for people that have done a few of them Paul

A bit of fair sized task your under taking I did something similar on a farm ute years ago I was stunned when I put it all back together that everything worked first go Paul
