  1. Uups! the last pic dissappointed even me. i can drive LHD roads and did it a couple of times for a couple of days. But damn, I'd take right on about any empty road!!
  2. Paul mate, nice to see the results of the long job. And seems the things start moving the way you planned they should to. thank you for spending time showing up the details of the whole entertainment/ too interesting to see and also hear the speech from Down Under. It's not that way from my location though, I suppose a lil bit Down aside And the truck turned out looking really nice
  3. Happy B-day!
  4. Good luck Hat. I hope you did what you felt and thought would be right to. The life turns a new page. As we always hope it's more clean and brighter.
  5. as for me wimmins could be found locally no problems. Macks are rare beast to hunt for instead. The calendar makes my mooth water. Oh, and that picture above..
  6. Better double-check the drive shafts. I have both air and electric on different cabs and they seemed different of the diameter the arms fit on. Not sure on this fact but haven't relate each other up-close or measure. I ordered both 62QT44R and 62QT45R but will not get them in my hands before the New Year.
  7. Hi and sorry for the late resopnse. As long as I know local folks use PAI kits to rebuild E9's in Renaults. They have to be imported from the States and became costy for a few last years. During my parts search I located a guy here who specializes in supply of Renault truck parts. His about the only source is PAI and he helps me getting them having a very good import quote. Funny thing I once got a set of E7 exhaust manifold gaskets from him. The gaskets were packed in poly bags with Renault sticker on them. But the gaskets themself had "Mack" script pressed in. Those were Renault OEM pats though, not PAI.
  8. I suppose troubles with low may be showed out. Here many people converted to HID (Xenon lights) with conversion kits which were for sale all over the parts shops. Than a few years later govnt initiated a war with such equipment. Almost taking driving licence off for half a year for such lights upgrade. Now things calmed down mostly. I still have them on my motorbike. But they're focused low, not how on a truck.
  9. Isn't it a time to share some scenaries of your neighbourhood together with tough-working Macks? All folks on here like pictures, you know, right?
  10. Actually I see no way in selling the rails I have. Otherwise I'd blame you guys flooding Damn cool video's !
  11. Many thanks for sharing this. Brown land Mack specialities are a thing difficult to find or figure out from what is posted on the net.
  12. I rememer seeing a video of Pete or KW throwing flames off a jet turbine mounted behind the sleeper. On the other hand it would be cool to build and explore such BBQ device yourself
  13. I too hope nobody on here put his relation to a member on a race basis. Scumbs do exist in any race or nation.
  14. It's like a kind of a case when your spare is of a nicer shape that the main set. This pair is way off from to asheme each other
  15. David, that doesn't surprize me at all. Actually I have no idea on where to get a MIG. Most of them were scrapped by pioneerers with red scuffs in 70's and 80's excepting a few which were installed on basements as monuments. Those are the most I can see of a MIG-15/17 overhere. During WW2 SU was supplied with nearly 250,000 Studebaker trucks (I might be wrong on the figure) and something like 500,000 Willis jeeps. Now Willis costs $10-20K depending on the cond. and at least 3 Studebakers were imported from Australia with efforts of some limber-handed Dutch guy. There were for museum collections. A common thing is to crap down thing you have first than find out you need them and pay high $$ to get from another end of the globe.
  16. I have to complete the list of current affairs first. It might take a couple of months. I'll keep you informed. The hot sause worked out fine. I suppose if the parts make 10 more revs over the globe no change to their condition would be found.
  17. The above is why we wouldn't.
  18. Somebody figured out they should hire that young person as an official face of the Ministry of Defence. She's a professional journalist as I learned from Google page.
  19. No, not that complicated. Both pics were events of the same week. So the same dress. As for the boat it was parked right in the center of Moscow, half a mile from Kremlin walls. So no shooting there BTW the gears are at my shop. Looks all is good with them
  20. Difficult to disagree. E-bay guys showed the pic with the markings. The part has MCV4 on its surface. The box label has MCV2. I have no idea is that visor for a B, another Mack or just a off-brand thing but I'd like nobody of BMT crew or just anybody else will buy the part they can't use.
  21. Not much use of my post but I have a really nice pair of a RD double frame rails. Beeing needing a pair for my R at the same time. Could use RD ones but need them longer for a sleeper configuration and here the VIn stamping is inportant thing for registry. Also I'd like to keep along original style of my frame and it's less of rail heigth. So I will keep attention to this thread. On the other hand I've started thinking on possibilities to ship heavy parts to the US. Looks like some of my stuff might worth to be sent to the country of origin.
  22. Looks good. Keep on going
  23. Here's what I have of Lund on my R-model. If you relate it to what they show on the pics there's definetly a difference.
