Very intetesting Geoff.Id say that yard full of Freightliners was a sight to see.Id walk around it for hours just looking.Im sure it was a difficult time for them trying to shift that much stock.The cabover to conventional conversion is something I love to know more about..... Paul

Nice.Yeah just never seen that type of set up before.Interesting they used the R model chassis for the F but then what real difference would there be in a chassis between a cabover and a truck with a hood?? Paul

Sure is.We are right hand drive in Ireland.What surprised me was the left to right conversion.Neat job... Paul

Am I seeing this right?...That drive across the dash is for the steering??? Never seen or heard of that set up before but if it works then why not?..... Paul

Two feet of Global Warming.... .love it!!!! Paul

Happy birthday Heinz... have a great day. Paul

At least your keeping busy Paul..... Paul

Some companys will do anything for advertising...Love the MH though... Paul

Yes that is a horrible memory for anyone to carry and it is my greatest fear that someone dies on my watch.Too many times Iv seen the devestation a driver goes through when some poor soul decides to end it all by jumping under a train.Known as a "ONE UNDER" on the railroad it has ended the career of many of my collegues.It hasnt happened to me and I hope and pray it never does but Iv been out ten times to recover trains after one and it is a horrible sight.How the emergency services deal with it day in day out I dont know but I have nothing but praise for them....... Paul

That is just flat out beautiful.Great progress..love the shop too.... Paul

Doesnt look like the Camelback suspention on our Mack.The shaft end nuts are wrong and the shaft hanger on our Mack splits in half,not wraped around the trunnion shaft.Yeah need to know what truck it came off... Paul

Welcome to the site.Thats an interesting project your doing.Keep us up to date with your progress.. Paul

Happy Birthday Barry.Thanks for the site, it has helped us no end... Paul

Here in Ireland everybody pays Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) at 7% of your income.This funds medical treatment,sick pay and state pension when you retire.However it does not cover dental work.Its a great system... Private heath insurance is available but its so expensive its only for the super rich... Paul

Most guys carried a box of 12v and a box of 24v bulbs as lights were the only issue at that time.Now with ABS ect the tractor/trailer voltage must match so 24v became the standard.12v accessories like a radio/CB (yip we had CBs after the film Convoy was a smash hit here) were wired to the grounded battery.Back then when you dropped a trailer you removed all the lenses and bulbs for the next trailer you picked up as all lenses were standard.....
