Dunno that either of those are readily available I have never seen a service book Wiring diagrams I have seen but they aren't exactly correct, there was like 4 or 5 different diagrams to cover all R models Paul

Sounds good to my untrained ears Paul

It is amazing at just how loud things can when no turbo is fitted and I guess it should be no surprise just how deaf a lot of people are as they get older A muffler might a good idea of some description in the future, then again once driving about with the windows up at speed it might be quite bearable as your moving pretty quick away from the noise Paul

Make sure they are nice and clean and free of dirty and grease etc, keep them square and slid them on even They should be a reasonably neat fit as the spacer holds the inner dual on while you lift the outer on if that makes sense Paul

Because our roads were crap and they are quick to change when you get a flat tyre and they are stronger than a 10 stud Bud type of rim, the Bud rims cracked a lot with our poor roads I think mainly because they are so quick to change Paul

12 is better than none of covid days, Glad it all went well for the big day To be honest I had to really read the leaflet to see that vintage trucks were allowed Paul

First things first, theres a big difference between split rims and dayton or spoked hubs The rims the outside piece, even if they are split types of rims you would have more chance of winning the lotto than anything happening while dropping the rim off Key board warriors have done so much damage with all their drama and carry on You probably have chance of dropping it on your foot or the truck slipping of the jack or stands They are no were near as dangerous as people make out are used the world over even today Paul

Never heard of deflating tyres before loosening nuts My take on these and still use them everyday, Swishman might be along shortly 100 - 150 is plenty, to much torque and all you do is squash the spacer, strip nuts and bust studs, there isn't any need for these stupid figures and all the BS that goes along with the key board warriors All drama and rubbish spoken and the key board warriors claiming they have seen people killed and mamed and so on is lies Use common sense, do them up tight with the wrench provided, make sure they run true, if you cant pull them in true with the nuts then back them off and start again Only nip them up by hand until they are within 1/4 inch of true on the tyre Then do them up tight, check within a few mile, then a few mile after that, make sure they are tight Then after 30 mile amd they should be right until the next flat or tyre change Skip all the drama and lies from keyboard warriors, up until 15 or 20 years ago thats pretty much all any truck had in Australia except for European trucks and even a lot of those had spoke conversions when new Paul

Becoming ??????? Oh boy you have no idea how the rest of the world see's America 😐 Paul

If you have spoke type wheels, just buy the rim, even 10 stud I believe tubeless steel rims are readily available to suit as well Last time I looked into buying tubed or tubless with a rim it was only $30.00 more to buy a new rim compared to buying a new tube, rust band and tyre, it really was to me a no brainer and the best thing I have done tyre wise, makes the truck so much more reliable and drive so much better Paul

I would upgrade to tubeless without even questioning it The benefits far out way any negitives, I cabt even think of a negitive Paul

I reckon that with out a doubt they were the best looking Macks ever made by a long way, R model is probably the second best looking and the series 1 Superliner 3rd Just my opinion Paul

I'm of no help here at all sorry, I'm sure someone will chime in soon enough Paul

So this has a wooden floor or is the wood for a template ? Paul

Thats a result, on wards and upwards Paul

Have a CRACKER OF A DAY young fella Paul

No connection at all but found it on Facelessbook and thought I haven't seen this up here yet Would make someone a good project I reckon https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1150996155754237/ So theres a copy of the add and a copy of all the photos from the add and a link to the add Everything you need if you live in the States or Canada to buy it So no more limp dick excuses, grow a set, stick your hand in your pockets and stop been a tight ass The US is only small in size, if Vlad and I can travel the distances we do for buckets of bolts so can you lot Go on buy it, you know you want to Paul

It's really coming together now, looking really sweet Paul

Not a lot for me to add, this year marks 50 years since Australia's involvement started in Vietnam and 25 years since our troups were welcomed home officially There was a big welcome home parade in Sydney organised by the Veterans them selves, guessing they got sick of waiting for our spineless governments to extract a digit and do it for them If you have a hour or so to ponder things have a watch and see what you may or may not learn Thanks to all who served Paul

Dunno you blokes seem to be getting caught up in details and missing the big picture All I know is after a quick Google Australia is ranked 8th in the world for life expectancy and we have free medical, read what you like into that Apparently our average tax rate is 45% The U.S. is 37% NewZealand is 39% but has free medical like Australia Pretty sure Canda has free medical and has a tax rate of 33% So there's no right answer, as a radio interview I heard today was saying "to live in Australia is like winning the lotto so get out there and make the most of it" Paul

Hope it all goes well for you Paul

Thats even odder, 24 mm is virtually the same size as 15/16 23 mm is just a little bit bigger than 7/8 Paul

Well done, I bet that was a special feeling money cant buy Gotta proud of the achievement Paul

Ebay

Funny that I know very little about his affairs, but more this type of stuff and Im not a American Do they even teach this type of stuff in the States ? Paul
