    Guy, All NR chassis had stamped mark starting from NR4D, no matter it was NR-3, NR-13 e t.c. Actually any NR serie was just an order of some amount of trucks. So from a chassis number you can determine a model only by finding an interval the numer is in. For example NR-14 had chassis from NR4D 8567D to NR4D 15646D. And NR-15 were from NR4D 15647 to NR4D 16493.

    Mr. Yardoomean, keep calm and load up the canister! I mean put red paint into a can and spray that STOCK screaming deamon (some day) the way it was done from the factory. Otherwise you gonna be risky doing about the same as painting Mack motor in DD green And I hope to see it done in person (some day)

    It's a pleasure to see the way the truck is going to be done. I mean grey B-model. On my personal taste I'd keep the interior green as it's a special feature of a B-model. But gray paint looks nice. I would add a truck that done with lots of love would always look better than a correct colored poor easy fix. And I almost agree on the said above by others. Vlad

    Looks in a very good shape. If I need one I'd be glad to have it.

    The one on the picture Mike posted is sure Australian truck. It has R-model cab as it should have and is built on a R700 model chassis as they all were done. From what I see it is not a set back one but the hood is made longer at its front. And has normal length from the firewall to the fenders area. The form of the lower edge of that part of the hood has its own design being apart from American version. The same about the air filter tube cut out. Aussie RW's have it higher than American ones, the top part of the hood cut off either. And would note it's RW1. Too interesting truck anyway.

    Cool pic Tim! We do miss either

    Got two of them studs off. Had to sharp up a couple of hard alloy (concrete use) drills on a diamond wheel and drilled off the pins. Common steel drills couldn't work there. Than welded a big nut onto the end of the each stud and warmed up the tube end of the equalizer about red hot. After good wrenching and hammering the first one got loose and went off. The second one happened to be a bit easier being shorter along the thread length. The next pair is ready to follow, just ran out of oxigen to the moment.

    Once I have heard about the same kind of excident here in Moscow. A dump truck went off the ramp and failed down. Both driver and the co-driver were killed.

    Wheels and hubs all around - NR-model. The same about front fenders and the windshield. The fuel tank is off another vehicle and the wheelbase was shortened. I might be wrong though, nobody can tell what is it exactly from seeing an only picture. Anyway thanks alot for sharing.

    I agree. L-model Mack. It possibly could be NR re-cabbed and re-furbished with shutters and chrome trim either. Many of such ones could be found in Europe those days. But following that logic any truck could be a re-furbished NR
  11. Vladislav
    I know there's a truck in Europe, probably Belgien. But unfortunately I have no contact info of the owner.

    Of those 26,965 N series military trucks about 16,500 were NR's. So looks like no sence to count it is a rare vehicle

    Nice KW indeed. And the dozer is a cool old machine either. I'd be glad to take a place at the observation deck to do some more observation to look at them.
  14. Vladislav
    Wow! I just didn't check B-store for a while. If so, there's not much of trouble to fabricate the steel part and add a piece of glass. And what a real pleasure to make plans for what I'm not going to do

    Huge!

    From what I've seen in the wiki section that's put there by our great Mack experts, R-model frame rail heigth was 9" and RD was 10.62" or 10.75" as option. But R-700S had 10.5" and whole 10.62" as option either. On the other note what was the last year of an R-model in production? 1988? Could you just buy an R in 1989 and later?

    I supose reproducing the rubber part would be the most trouble. But could be done in theory.

    Happy Birthday!

    That's one of difficult to imagine situations. But now you see it's real.
  20. Vladislav
    And the one on your truck looks correct to me

    I just have no Bedford cab to put on my truck and get a jump on the resto. I'm a stock liker and generally see not much of historical value in deep modified vehicles. There could be some exceptions though when a modification itself has a history on it.

    Hmmm... But I still don't see where maple syrup is running?

    Too sad indeed. Seeing the shots I note to myself how good your highways are done with that great distance between the lanes of different directions. Not difficult to imagine what could be if they are close to each other.

    I feel for you. A good term is "the freezing point". Helps me out alot to figure out "SAE" weather conditions
