  2. 10,000 sq ft shop....you lucky sod.Iv a 40 by 30ft wide open space with gravel to work on our truck.Still ya gotta work with what you have I guess... Paul
  3. Its a class looking truck.Id love to restore that when I retire..... Paul
  4. Yip,i heard the same story about the RHD Fiats in Italy.Must be something in it... Paul
  5. Love those International cabovers.Really nice line up of trucks.That Marmon is a rare beast.There is one Marmon cabover in Ireland...but Iv yet to see it in the flesh... Paul
  6. Iv seen a fishing trawler with 2 8V71s one of which was set to run "backwards".It was direct drive(no gearbox) to the propellers so the reason the engines were set up this way was for counter rotation of the propellers.It was an interesting set up to say the least... Paul
  7. The secret lives of batterys...who knew when I posted the question of what batterys our Cruiseliner came with it would lead to such an interesting debate.Very interesting indeed.Thanks guys... Paul
  8. Our Cruiseliner is 12V Neg ground.Nathans truck is from the same batch and is also 12V..Maybe you guys would know but Iv been told when new they were supplied with 4 6V batterys.would that be right? Over this side of the world the last vehicle I can think of that had a 6V battery was a VW Beatle and some motorbikes... Paul
  9. L looks real good on a GMC Astro too Paul
  10. If you have permission to use the original colours and its what you want....go for it.The guy we bought our truck off wanted his name phone number ect off it ad quick as possible Pic 3 of what mrs mack posted is class too....pic 9 is stunning..You have choices to make!!!! Paul
  11. Bottom row right hand one for me....just sayin... Paul
  12. Nathen,let me know what you come up with...I think I might be in the same trouble...ours stopped chargeing too.... Paul
  13. Yuck...talk about having your name in BIG letters....not too bad from the side but that grill....no not for me. Paul
  14. Read a piece today dont know if its BS but it said Dodge is entering the Class 8 market again...any of you guys hear that or is it Bull crap.... Paul
  15. Fantastic collection of pictures..cant make up my mind if Audrey or the Autocars are the most beautiful.....I'll go for the Autocars I aint that young anymore... Paul
  16. I did a fair bit of work on Bedford 220 330 and 500 diesels.Great engines.Many years ago I restored a 1936 Bedford WHG 3 ton truck it really was a chevy which came in kits from the US.It had a 3.5 litre 6 cyl petrol. Paul
  17. Hope you get a picture of the cabover.I'd love to see that... Paul
  18. Dont know if its any help to you but that intercooler looks exactly the same as the one in my Cruiseliner. EM6 300 engine.Might make it easier to find one. Paul
  19. Never knew that!!! ...You'd never know what you'd learn on BMT..From Fullers to Maxitoqures to the Irish Potato Famine...Fantastic and no my folks never took the soup.The saying "are you going for soup?" has been around as long as I can remember but it was slang for "are you going for drink".What you have said does fit in with what I remember when I was in my teens.At that time religious instruction was very strong and I can remember priests calling Alcohol "Protestant Soup"to try to keep young people away from it...They failed in my case!!!! Paul
  20. The Cruiseliner is our sanity.otherwise we'd be insane🤣
  21. I wish...No where to store them.We dont even have a workshop.We do all our repairs out in the open on a gravel space.My son and I are regular working guys on regular wages trying to look after our Cruiseliner as a lifelong dream.If we had the money we'd have a shop and a fleet of Macks.We just work with what we have.... Paul
  22. Welcome to BMT.Really nice Superliner..Best of luck with it Paul
  23. Yip Iv seen an EMD 12V646 after a dramatic event....some damage done to the locomotive.....not fun. Paul
