  1. A real unreal beauty! And nice color. The cabinet is a no comments object. That whole fiberglass cab shows some differences in shape along the back wall relating to the US version.
  2. Absolutely heartbreaking! It seems to me though you made a really good job writing the initial letter to the company.
  3. Best wishes Randy! And many more oversun's.
  4. Outstanding! I don't remember seeing so attractive looking dump truck even on pics.
  5. Congrats on the purchase! Will be a nice addition to your line up.
  6. What I see looks really great Now every next Saturday will be more and more of fun. Keep us posted !
  7. Now works Ok.
  8. That stone bridge is a cool old artefact. And the one out West is an attractive place to see too. Wish speedy recovery to the boy and thank you for sharing interesting points in PA. If the memory serves me right I passed along the river of Suscuehanna in 2013 but havent seen the statue. Probably took wrong direction from Harrysburg
  9. To my shame I still haven't switched the radio on and tried how it works
  10. Looks solid in general. And could probably be bought cheap. Gas engine might be a headache but a rarity at the same time.
  11. Cool! Wish you the weather will allow more running days in the nearest future. And more "road tests" than repairs Any general views of the truck at a shoulder or a parking lot?
  12. Had that ugly "artwork" on my screen yesterday. Could get in from the phone but to some particular rubric which was saved there. Than could navigate further with some efforts. Straight access to the main page ended up with that clown's face again. Made it again right now and all seems Ok. Suppose Barry hasn't had it as easy as just to wait a day and problem disappeares by its own.
  13. Wow! Keith, thank you so much for the investigation job. Today I made a bit of dancing with a measure bend and it seemed like there's place enought there indeed. But I wasn't 100% sure, there's insulation wool hanging there together with some wires and so on. Mu current option is to buy another radio with a side mic connector, put it above the driver seat and extend the mic cable behind the console to a hole in the middle area I'll drill for. So the outside mic cable would hang from near the center of the wind screen and to the mic bracket somewhere at the right to the radio. And by the right driver's hand at the same time. There's another nuance though. Isn't there a speaker at the bottom of a Cobra CB? And can you hear from it when the unit is slid inside the console?
  14. On my mind it was a very GOOD and RIGHT way of doing a business. Not a great trouble for a big company to pay attention to a kid who has his senserely interest to the subject and present him with some bits of promotional goods. Good chances are a kid will grow up and become a customer. A customer with lagre sympathy to the company and its products. If we look from rough financial point of view such actions take time of employes and both expences for presents themself and postage. But two things seems to me paying back. The 1st is growing customers for the future. It means you're going to work for a long time. And the 2nd. Some money loss may accure, it's true. But doing job such way you do it with pride and honest. So is money the only reason to do work? Many people just don't keep in mind they also spend their life at the same time. Which way? Unfortunately here in Russia such things are way out of line almost everywhere. The main reason I see is impossibility to work for a while. The situation changes all the time. Lows are changed etc. And as long as the powers see anybody strats working good and doing better it's a command to take as much from his entertainment as possible. Or just everything, no matter the deal collapses. Born and grown in Soviet Union I well remember being told from everywhere around that Soviet country was the most justyfull and carefull to its people who live absolutely happy. And the capitalist world with America at the leadership makes people low of their life and"beat crap out of them". I was not a fool to trust in that watching Western movies and seeing goods produced in the US, Germany or Japan. But now when I read stories like these above I just feel a shame for my country of those days finding out the capitalist world was much wellfull to his nations then the best justy Soviets were.
  15. I doubt any other book shares such full encyclopedyc amount of facts about the Mack company. Bulldog is a special part showing out everything of AC model from A to Z.
  16. Looks like your state is still full of old threasures. I too like this old lady. Sheet metal seems of reasonable condition also.
  17. Sorry to hear and see.
  18. Keith, a bit of help with that is too appreciated. I sure could do it myself since I have a truck with a correct hole and the radio. But the trouble grows up from a positive matter. The Cobra CB I bought is new. And I too dislike to get some fresh scratches on its body moving it inside the hole. Should put some self adhesive paper bend on to protect. No issue with scratches if I install it there. But not nice if on the ash tray in the center of the dash.
  19. Good thing he didn't take his cement away with him when he leaved. Wish you the things go faster from this point.
  20. Sorry to read one more perfect example of excessively clever people's BS. Hope common sence will work out one more deal together with respect to the history.
  21. Keith, Thank you for these detailed pictures. They show out things very actual. Just want you to know - did you put the CB in the hole above the passenger seat a bit biased just to have better access to the controls? I mean I hope the reason was NOT because of the space short to clear all the length of the unit. Of what I see in the pics the best location is the off-brand truck with special CB slot in the center of the console. But don't plan to go off-Macking so continue figuring the matter out.
  22. Bob, your concrete hasn't set enough yet for
  23. Thank you for sharing. That RD800 is a big thing.
  24. If you rifle through e-bay there's plenty offers on CRD-92/93 carriers overhaul manual.
  25. Studied some basic things on using CB in Russia. Learned the range of 27 MHz (CB) is allowed here along some other ranges. And surprized that maximum output power limit is 10 Watt. Not 4 as in the States.
