  1. Great work Larry.Iv been following this tread with great interest.... Paul
  2. Yeah those Detroits sound amazing...theres no mistaken one.Id take that R and treat her to new frame rails and away we'd go..something like that when I retire would keep me happy for years... Paul
  3. Saw that Geoff.I was wondering what it was...thanks. Paul
  4. Saw that video the other day.He shows the Mack Western build plate on the door.I was surprised to see a 6-71 in it not something bigger.The fame is shot but lovely truck...I want it!!!! Paul
  5. Thats the way it should be Geoff but try telling the companys over here that.Theyre never wrong...Its reflected in that internet sales are lower here than the US. Amazone are the only company Iv dealt with who will pay return shipping if an order is wrong.... Paul
  6. What is the process for returning wrong parts in the US?? In Europe the customer pays the return shipping making returning some parts not worth it.This gets me every time because they shipped the wrong parts so why should the customer pay for it??.For example the axle shafts I got last week will cost 60% of any refund I could get returning them.I sold them for 80% of their cost cutting my loss to 20% ...Sorry for the rant but it bugs me.... And yes I gave the correct part numbers.... Paul
  7. Had pork belly too....fried left over mash and carrot and parsnips mashed together.....stuffed here🤣
  8. Im in two minds about the ordering of parts on the web.It seems 50% of what I order is wrong despite giving part numbers/ frame numbers.I did however get rare parts on the web too. Last week I ordered 30 spline axle shafts for my Toyota mini van giving all the correct numbers.What arrived?? 27 spline shafts........aaarrrggghhh... Paul
  9. That truck is being parted out on faceless book page called Mack Parts.... Paul
  10. Welcome to BMT.Your in the right place if you need knowledge on Macks.The knowledge shared with us when we started restoring our Cruiseliner was outstanding...Good luck with your truck... Paul
  11. Same here Joey.Im dying to drive our Cruiseliner again but Iv vowed to finnish it lock stock and barrel before it hits the road again.One of the biggest shows in Ireland is on the 24th of May and we had hoped to show her but she just wont be ready.Im not rushing her because I want her to be done right..... Paul
  12. Happy Birthday Mechohaulic...another trip around the sun ...many more to come.Have a great day... Paul
  13. Holland is the go to country to import vehicles from outside the EU as their import taxes are less than the rest of the EU.However the vehicle must be regestered and kept in Holland for 6 months before it can be moved to another EU country.If its a big money vehicle the savings can be worth it.... Paul
  14. Happy birthday Brocky.Great your still out and about at shows. Paul
  15. Guilty of the overthinking thing as well.When I was working as a mechanic I was always told my work was first class but I was too slow to which I replied you cant have both.I know time is money but in my world if you do it right first time then you save money down the road.Its why I love the restoration work...no time pressure.. Paul
  16. The pictures are outstanding.The one of it new is a really great one to have.Looks to have been worked hard but well looked after.Keep us updated on how your getting on with it... Paul
  17. Its tough Joey....One of the hardest things to do but as you say he's at peace now.. Paul
  18. Welcom to BMT...Wow what a truck and with full history from dealer to now.A rare masterpiece.Good luck with it and yes more pictures please.... Paul
  19. Yeah its just a number.62...still 17 in my head...body about 50...I'll keep going untill I cant🤣... Paul
  20. Fantastic truck Joey.You should be rightfully proud of it.Cant wait for more updates... Paul
  21. Good idea Mech.....if any will admit their age.....I'll go first 62 today 11/05/1964..... Paul
  22. Your only starting Mech.... Paul
