  6. Hope this makes you feel even better...I was 60 when I got mine and thanks to the guys on this site Iv learned a heck of a lot about Macks....Ask loads of questions and remember the most stupid question is the question you dont ask......because the answer may be the one you needed all along....... Paul
  7. They dont look like spring parking brake pots to me.Look like the brake pots on the front axle of our Mack... Paul
  8. Thanks Mark,I do understand the cooling arrangement but the question I have is why is the vent hose of such heavy construction and does it vent air as described by Geoff, since its from the highest point on the engine to the highest point on the rad.I have to say our Cruiseliner was the easiest vehicle I have ever filled with coolant.I filled it to about an inch below the filler neck had coolant at all the bleed points instantly ran it to working temp and didnt even need to top it up!!! Paul
  9. Im finding this very interesting...Heres a picture of the set up on our Cruiseliner.The top water hose(silver) goes from rad tank to stat houseing.Then a hose about 1 inch in size goes from bottom of rad tank to the bottom hose where it comes out of the oil cooler and a small hose from the water rail to top of rad tank.The hose from the water rail is very heavy duty.It has bullhead fittings and is like fuel grade hose.I have wondered what its for...... Paul

  16. Welcome to the group.Great story and Im sure you have your dads backing.The accidental picture with him in the background was his way of letting you know hes with you all the way..... Paul
  17. 10 years?? No bother to you guys.My dad lived untill 84 and he always said the secret was to always have a reason to get up everyday,eat well, a dog and a shot of whiskey regulary,not everyday but regulary...... Paul
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. Sure is.We are right hand drive in Ireland.What surprised me was the left to right conversion.Neat job... Paul
  21. 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
