Looks like the problem is solved. Leon, did you have END711 naturally aspirated and swap it with 673 ci 300+ hp?

Sometimes it's difficult.

No, that's neigbour's one. Those folks are from Azerbaijan, a big family. They have a big balcony and can enjoy watching my yard full of old iron. That area is my second land, just across the steet from the main one. I have two brick buildings on the main. The big "the house" is actually a shop. The smaller one is where I live with a shop in the ground floor

I would say the rear fenders are of the kind Made in Australia. The same about the paint scheme.

The interior is virgin and the chassis keeps all the paint on. Nice condition if not just oversprayed.

Damn impressive but I can't figure out how Mack AC in the middle pic could carry such the load being not sunk into the ground with pretty slim front wheels? LTL logger at the top pics is really beautiful.

The trailers look very straight and strong. Hope they will serve a long while being parked. It would be nice to build shelves inside them to lay out small parts but seems as a lot of job. Nice candy store pictures. That tandem B and L-model look having potential.

Seems like a nice B to me. Sure worth to pay attention. Thank you for sharing. Vlad

Hi, Telling fast that's not as easy deal as you currently think. For first, there are US and Aussie Macks and frames are different. Most every classic Aussie Mack was built with R-model style frame. R, RW, MH e t.c. I'm not an Austalian bloke though so could be wrong. American R's were Eastern (Macungie) and Western (Hayward) models. Eastern's had frame's front end wider and lower section than back of cab area. Western's (wich were called RS/RL) had straight rails from front to end of constant heigth. MH's had almost different frames of the style Superliner II had. You need to keep in your mind that RWiI and early RW had different frame styles and you're about done figuring all that. RW1 had the frame style of Cruiseliner. I can help you with some measurments of Eastern R and MH Macks but need a bit of time to do that. Do you have your interest for model building? Here are some pics for you to start understanding what's what. Where are you in Norway? Extremely nice country, love fiords and waterfalls. Feel free to PM me, I might be busy and forget to check this thread out. Vlad

Uncommon thing and done with love. Looks nice.

Happy Birthday Carl! Enjoy as many as you can.

Just no words to describe! Great place! Seems that man bought many nice Macks from the States but I hope you guys don't seem extremely bad this kind of exporting.

Hello folks, I've been off the phone yesterday, sorry. That's an interesting artice indeed. My favorite is red/white KW. It was true imported in 1973 and still works. I once have seen it in person. The guy lives in the different area than me. Light green R, exactly the one in the picture, is unfortunately no longer with us. It was cut and scrapped by some pretty stupid way. The guy had crank broken down and didn't do repairs. His parents he kept the truck by their house needed some cash to cover the road taxes for the truck. Being on a road in 2000km from home the owner was called by them and answered "Just scrap it and cover the tax". The only rest was the sleeper I bought from him after got in contact. So I don't own that truck but it was a sister one to the pair I have. The same bunch of 5 ex-SGT R's wich were imported in 1996. They have their VIN's different by only 1-2 digits. Recently another local guys showed up with impressive looking yellow Pete. We became friendly now. Vlad

what whom she was looking waiting for? What is that orange truck? WS or A-car? This style of hood isn't familiar to me. Probably haven't payed enough attention to "Other truck makes". Tom, thank you for the pictures. The leaves turned out no less spectacular than rusty jewels.

Might be a stupid question but to each his own. What psi boost E6-350 should have when bobtailing? Sure no load but with a full throttle at a midlle rev range it never takes more that 8 psi. Generally in a flat road I see from 0 to 3.

We will !!

My choice is for Able. Just need a minor thing - to add a Superliner

Unbelivable What was wrong to leave?

Great stuff! I doubt there are many places with a big collection of Atkinson's. Diamond-T road train is impressive. Just as a truck it's a relatively rare thing with closed cab in Europe.

No, not this one. There was a long E9 yellow Superdog with flat top bunk for something like 20-22 grand. Somewhere in NY or other North-East states. You could find it rifling through "For sale" section. Just difficult to do, there were many RW for sale recently.

Thank you for the advice and explanation. Unfortunately there were not enough rubles this time to get there personally. 2020 is a long times, we'll see. Pretty sure you had nice days being there. Many big Macks I saw on the net you was able to come by. Looking foward for more news from your side.

One nice tapa to talk about

Interesting source. Just haven't notice anything with stack cut outs.
