    Yip not a clue.Dodge made the L 1000 range of cabover semi's in the 60s and to me they were a beautiful truck.im sure they made other semi trucks too.to say the Big Horn was their only semi shows the person who wrote this doesnt know Jack..... Paul

    Hi all,we have changed the UJs on the shift linkage and bushes but so far we are unable to get the oil seals.in order to provide some lub we packed it with a light grease as this doesnt seep out.its a major improvement in gear shifting.we took the truck for a long drive today and it a joy to drive.the only problems we have left to sort out is a slight weep from the bottom corner of the rad and new tyres.my son and I cant thank you all enough for all the advise and encourgement you all gave us since we got our truck.this is a great site to be a member of.

    Yes Brocky it applys to all vehicles.in the case of cars its 6 years for the tyres and trucks its 10 years.There are no exceptions untill the vehicle is 40 years from date of first registration not assembly.Thats my problem with the Cruiseliner.it is a 1982 truck but was not registered untill 1989 so iv to wait untill 2029 to be exempt...large PITA paul

    I agree with what you say Vlad but the law in Ireland says tyres over 10 years old must be scrapped.now both you and I know the ones on our truck will be perfectly good for a hobby truck..... Paul

    Thanks for that Vlad.yeah they came back to me saying tubeless only.the tyres on the truck are fairly good with 6 to 8mm of thread left but the problem is they are over 10 years old.In Ireland tyres over 10 years old must be scrapped.....ill have to keep looking. Paul

    When i was driving trucks for a living i lost 2 wheels off a trailer i had just picked up.all looked good when i done my walk around inspection but a few hours down the road off came the wheels just missing a few people on the footpath or sidewalk as you say in the US.man id nightmares for weeks after that... Paul

    Bit of a work out there Bob.i havent done truck tyres in years but then im only 17......in my head🤣.you could say the tyres are part worn just dont say what part!!! Any harm to ask what the wheel nut torque is on the spyder spoke wheels???.keep up the great work im looking forward to seeing that Bulldog driving down the road... Paul

    Thats good.weight capacity is not an issue as it will be a show truck only.here in Ireland when you regester a vehicle as vintage you are not allowed to carry a load or in the case of a Semi your not allowed to haul a trailer and the tractor must be disabled in such a way as it cant haul a trailer.the usual thing to do is remove the air lines between the tractor/trailer. Paul

    Super resto of a beautiful truck.it is great when you get them out and about..it's what this hobby is about.good luck with the truck.....

    Ok guys,im working on vehicles a long time but never heard of timing a steering shaft.could anyone please explain? Im always keen to learn something new.its possible i know it as something else but would love to know.thanks Paul.
  17. cruiseliner64
    Thanks for that information.we would like to stay with 1200 tyres but the tyre importers say they cant get 1200 tyres but might be able to get 1100s.note the word 'might".....24in rims are rare here so tyres to suit is a problem..... Paul
  18. cruiseliner64
    Something the same thing here.we have 1200R24 tyres on our Cruiseliner but this tyre size is not available here in Ireland.We can,well maybe we can,get 1100R24 tyres would this change things with the gearing/speed??? Paul
  19. cruiseliner64
    Thanks,next time im in the US ill take you up on that👍
  20. cruiseliner64

  21. cruiseliner64
    Excellent picture.you are rightly proud of that...B models are my new Mack interest after seeing that one in Holland.theyre so so cool.now i wonder if Mrs O'Brien would let me............ Paul.
  22. cruiseliner64
    We"ll wait for the pictures....enjoy Paul
  23. cruiseliner64
    Keep at it....the only way is up.has to be easier than grinding out rust,welding in bits grinding again..... Paul
  24. cruiseliner64
    Thats a cool B model.I never paid much attention to them untill I seen one in the flesh at the Mack show in Holland 2 weeks ago.Man they're as cool as ice.Real trucks..... Paul

    I think you will enjoy it.i certainly did.I'd love to know what happened to all the film not used in the finnished movie.In the book it said 27 reels of film were shot but the finnished movie amounted to 3 reels...bound to be some great scenes on the unused reels... Paul
