cruiseliner64

Welcome to BMT.Great site to be a member of.Someone usually comes up with the answer to whatever it is you ask.Good luck with the Mack.... Paul

Ah dont worry about money it always works out in the end...We spent a fortune(a fortune to us anyway) on our Cruiseliner and still not finnished!!!. Paul

🤣🤣🤣 Paul

Id love that..... Paul

Yeah its getting to be a big problem all over the world.On some sites if they said water is wet..Id check...... Paul

I know Fire Trucks/ Emergency vehicles over here are exempt,having said that new ones all have emissions equipment but the older ones can still be used.Some of the older vehicles in the reserve fleet can and are used as required. Paul

Has to be fake news...come on I just dont believe they would do that in such an emergency.......would they????? Paul

Nice one JC Bit of culture to teach us how well off we are..... Paul

Wow thats a complicated system.In the Europian union it doesnt matter what country you buy your fuel or pay your road tax in.Even coming in from a country outside the EU your vehicle has to be taxed and insured in the country of origin..thats it. Paul

It's the same BS over here in Ireland.When I inported our Cruiseliner I first had to clear it through Customs which was no problem,then I had to take it to a vehicle registration office(VRO).There are 26 VROs in Ireland and lucky for me any VRO can be used.I took the truck to our local office and I was told I had the wrong UK title for the truck.On the UK title it said Mack Cruiseliner 6X4 tractor unit which the lady insisted was a farm tractor!!!! No amount of explaining would change her mind.When I said to her that Customs had no problem with the title she said "What would they know"....clearly more than she did🤣...after 6 week of wondering what to do I took it to the VRO in the next county and had the Irish title and reg number in 5 mins......It really depends on who you get.... Paul

Class project.Lot of work but I think it'd be worth it.Just tell the wife it will keep you out of the pub and all the danger that comes with it🤣....If I had a big shed I'd be doing a project like that. Paul

Some old trucks there.Good film. Paul

Sold over here as the Renault midliner they were a great truck.The cab was shared by 4 truck companys Renault Magirus Deutz Volvo and Daf and was known as the Club of 4 cab.Reliable comfortable great perfomance and good MPG.they were everywhere in Europe back in the 80s.I havent seen one in about ten years but they come up for sale often on Vintage sales sites.I dont know how good parts supply is but I'll ask a few heads I know.Shipping to the US could be costly.If I had room I'd have one.... Paul

Yeah real nice truck,a superdog is right.love the stacks.I didnt know that model came with cab air bags.... Paul

Sounds good...we are waiting...love a good Mack story. Paul

Some real nice rigs in that video....including some Euro trucks.It shows the American iron has loads more style than Euro trucks.... Paul

Some truck ok but too new for me.When I drive I like to drive.I dont like a computer to drive for me..I know Im an old dog that hates new tricks.... Paul

Thanks Joey.We appreciate your help....and thanks to terry too. Paul

Yes a air switch on the shift lever. Paul

Thanks for the reply Joey.I seem to have the air operated 6 speed terry spoke of in his reply.I tried to post a picture but it wont post.Theres a large and a small air cyinder on the back of the gearbox.Theres also a filter for the air too which i have changed.It all appears to work ok but if theres something that should be serviced regulary id love to know. Paul

Joey,does cleaning and re-lubeing the rear range cylinder apply to the 6 speed in our Cruiseliner? If so is it a big job.I would not have any experence with Maxitoqure gearboxes and as our truck was lying up for 14 years this is something that might be a good idea to do... Paul

Seen a few of these Fords here in Ireland,all of them from Turkey delivering here.Cant understand why they are not sold here.Not mad about the look of them but better looking than a Volvo....... Paul

Yeah hes some guy at bending and twisting those trucks...and a good laugh while he does it.Now theres a guy with skill and brains.Must be good too as hes insurance company approved too.I enjoy his channel... Paul

Here's a picture of a Dublin Ireland assembled F700 which ran from Ireland to Iran/Iraq in the 1970s.Im told it was dairy products out and back load with produce from Turkey.I'd love to have done that run....... Paul

No bother to these lads..no computers just brains and skill.Like the Western world 70 or so years ago.. Paul
