Thanks for the replys.I will post a picture of the heater A/C controls as soon as I can.As our summers are not that warm A/C has only become popular since the EU mandated it for all new vehicles in the last 15 years or so.As a result Iv not much experance with it so decided to ask before just tearing it apart.I will bypass that tap and see if it gives any heat.The electrical switch does power up one side of the fusebox when the key is turned on so I think your spot on with that Geoff.Thanks again for all the replys.... Paul

Hi all,we are slowly getting things done but the weather is terrible over here,wind and rain non stop.The heater never worked since we got the truck so we fitted a new thermostat but still no heat.We dug a bit deeper and in the passenger footwell we found what we think is the tap.Its air operated and there is no air pressure getting to it no matter what position the hot/cold lever is mover to.We have nevet seen an air operated heater tap before so do any of you know how its supplied.It a Red Dot system.We also found what looks like some kind of electric switch and we would like to know what it controls.Any info would be helpful.Thanks Paul

How about this for an interior? Its the sleeper cab roof liner out of the Cruiseliner.Its in a bad way.Im trying to put it together so we can make a mold to make a fiberglass one...I have to thank mrs Cruiseliner for allowing me to use her kitchen table to do the work on as the weather is real bad here... Paul

Looks a hell of a trip Brocky.I cant open that Flicker thing.Its most lightly my own fault so I'll get my son to see what Im doing wrong.Thanks for shareing... Paul

Yeah same here.I dont mind a small tatoo of something personal to them but covered in it...no Paul

I'll put that on my bucket list for when I retire.....sounds pure heaven...... Paul

I greatly admire Geoff and Joey in this tread as it fits right in with one of my late dads greatest sayings..... I disagree with what you say but I will defend to my death your right to say it Iv lived by that statement since my dad thought me it.... Paul

Wow thats turning out really well.I cant wait to see it finnished.Real nice work Paul

Happy Austrailia day Paul...Yes Joey One should always be proud of their country.I think it was Mark Twain who put it best when he said Loyalty to your country.....Always Loyalty to your goverment....Only when your goverment earns it.... Paul

Send us some...its low to mid 40s F wind and rain here....hasnt stopped raining in days..... Paul

Sounds great.My nieces and nephews are always on to us to visit...yeah post that link.Love to see the pics.. Paul

I recently bought an 8.2 John Deere engine.The story of it was it was one of three installed in an industrial plant to run a fire system.They were run one hour a week for the last 10 years to ensure they were always available.It has 550 hours on the hourmeter.During an insurance test this engine was deamed to have exhaust gases in the coolant.The insurance company insisted it was replaced not repaired.Through a buddy I bought the engine for scrap value,about 250 US dollors.It came on a stand with comtrol panel rad and batterys.Iv run it for hours and it never overheated in fact it starts first time and runs beautifully.However 8.2 JDs are almost non existant in Ireland and my plan to sell it and make a few bucks to put into the Cruiseliner build has not worked out...Yet!!! Paul

Yeah Id love to visit the land down under.Iv 9 neices and nephews living and working there.Maybe when I retire I'll get to go...Love to see a Roadtrain for real..... Paul

Its great to be a small part of this.You and the other guys have helped us so much on our Cruiseliner we couldnt have done it without the help we got here,even if I do make a duma££ outta myself at times!!!! Really though as I read the treads the amount Iv learned is amazing and the willingness to share knowledge is outstanding... Paul

Up to the task as always Joey...Id love to have even half your knowledge but the best is your willingness to share what you know.... Paul

Kinda looks like a Mercury sleeper but doesnt have the distintctive doors.....Im sure there was a lot of aftermarket sleepers around back then.Maybe even built in house.... Paul

Top notch work on the bumper,looks great.Finnishes the front off nicely... Paul

Reminds me of a scene from Rescue Me...the guy was sent up to talk to his 16 year old nephew after he was caught doing the business with 26 year old smokin hot teacher..."I dont know how you do it.You get Sharon Stone and when I was at school all I got was sister Mary shovel face"...still laugh when I think of that scene... Paul

That guy sitting there waiting to get hit....trust in a good dragline operator.... Paul

My own humble opinion is LEDs should be outlawed on vehicles.They blind other road users.Theres a debate going on in Europe to outlaw them.What ever the rights or wrongs of that and again in my opinion LEDs have no place on a vintage vehicles...just my thoughts.... Paul

I hear you.Im just a regular working guy but I wanted a Cruiseliner since I was 14 years old and saw Pig Pens in the movie Convoy.I sold my small vintage vehicle collection and had to take a small loan to get the deal over the line.I was bidding against two others who had very deep pockets.Ours is just a hobby truck but you have the extra pressure of having to get your truck ready to work.I wish you the best of luck with it.... Paul

Know that feeling...did the same when I got my Cruiseliner.The one I always wanted.... Paul

Feel for you bro.Mines just a hobby truck.Wish you the best... Paul

Yeah that can be done on the Hi-Lux too.No buttons for the transmission just levers.Front hubs are manual lock too.One thing I notice is you guys call them yotas we call them yodas....The latest Hi-Lux is all buttons.No fun to drive anymore..... Paul
