Have to agree with Geoff on this one.I hauled end dumps for a few years and it really depended on who was loading the product.Best ride was got by loading from the rear tapering off towards the front to spread the weight evenly.Also the "mound" should be as close to the centre line of the trailer as possible.If its to one side even slightly the truck rode like a buckin bronto.Having the load centered on the trailer also made tipping much safer...

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.......

They dont look like spring parking brake pots to me.Look like the brake pots on the front axle of our Mack... Paul

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

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......

I second that Joey...and I'll ask on BMT too!!!.Nobody knows it all and the books are there to teach and remind us sometimes.No shame in that.... Paul -
I had a look.That trailer sure suits your truck.Best of luck with it.Keep us up to date with your progress... Paul
-
Beautiful project,best of luck with it.In the first picture it appears to be hooked up to a trailer.Did you get the trailer as well? If not Id be interested to know what type of trailer it is.... Paul

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

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

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
