    Hello, had that problem here with spare parts people, they are on the ball in Brisbane, Mat Hendry you want to talk to. the cab is new and in Sydney, around the 30,000 mark, the chassis rails are 3300.00 per each outer, the inners are 3100.00 each, they are long enuf to run a 72 inch bunk and are un drilled! and for that price is why i am rebuilding these poor bent things.

    Hello, these ones are back in for now. it wouldnt surprise me if they still have them as you can still buy most other parts. frame rails are still available, there is 11 sets in Sydney, a new R model cab there also. Grant

    your allways going up muddy roads here, to me it doesnt make sense having them the other way as they fill up with dirt. I must have scraped 5lbs of mud of the inside of these. i also relocated my second one further back to, it was only 26 inches or so away from front one. now its 55inches away. Grant

    Hi, i have pics, but it wont let me post them. i got image size down to 48kb and its trying to tell me its to large! its the stamped c channel style crossmembers like on the flintstone and r models through the 70s, i have noticed they have the hollow part facing forward so it catches all the dirt.

    Hi, is there any reasone why the crossmembers are fitted in the chassis with the hollow section facing forward? the manual does not mention it, but have seen them only fitted this way. I have turned mine the other way so the dirt doesnt get held there. Grant

    Hello, 575 comes to mind. dont think it was 610. they had also messed with the pump a little to. they were known to grenade down here tho. bad for throwing a leg out of bed, but still all in all a gutsy engine. I pulled a triple the other day with a 475 trident, poor thing! it didnt like that 8% grade hill! Grant

    Hi, there is alot of E9s down here. a friend has one in a Titan that pulls triples here and he says it is absolutely awsome, it has got more balls than any thing they have had, it does use the fuel tho. 1/2 a mile to 1/4 a gallon! Grant

    you can still buy all panels from Mack. in OZ a roof panel is worth 1000.00aud get onto mack, all you gotta do is find a spare parts person who can read a book or a microfish. Grant

    nothing wrong with a putty cat, most the prime movers down here in Western Australia run them, they pull well and pretty reliable. there is an R700 for sale in kalgoorlie for 15000 with an 8v92 in it. that could be interesting. Grant

    Hello, just seems a long way, I would have atleast 6 feet from last cross member to trunion support, I would have expected to see atleast one more cross member in there. Grant
  17. ducky698
    Thats the same as this then. it seems like a big jump from centre bearing cross member to trunnion support, its a long way back. Grant
