Well done, Randy! That's cool the kid has interests in history and such the event you provided with him was the best of what you could do. Thanks for the report about your activities, interesting to learn those facts.

Some one didn't want to do his work?? Hmmm, strange...

Aluminum fuel tanks for R model
Vladislav replied to Junior9009's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
Have anybody checked out how much are new ones? I'm looking for the longest one to put on the right. Like the one on the picture. No matter how long from Lehigh Valley in my case though. Vlad

Picked up some aluminum wheels today
Vladislav replied to ranchhopper's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
When I polished mines I also didn't do the centers since I could cover them with chrome parts. This is what I've got after putting everything on. The covers were from Big Rig Chrome Shop. -
Photographer was here again
Vladislav replied to Superdog's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
This bunch looks better than the previous one. Maybe the girl #2 got some skills from the pioneer. I'm for the calendar. -
Have missed the post, the truck looks great now. The result sure worth the job. Congrats!

Uggh... I still don't see any snow. The ocean view is unbelevable!

Value-Liner scale model finished.
Vladislav replied to Whiskymack's topic in Mack Scale Model and Diecast Corner
On the pics it looks awesome! I'd say a bit better than a real one. All the wires and pipes under the hood and in the chassis seem correct and take this truck apart from just toys. Openable doors turned out perfect. What did you use for the cab as a basis? 1/25 AMT or 1/24 italery? Vlad -
If you look well the pics in the high resolution you can mention fresh rust spots. Some areas in the frame might be blasted bad but the rear axle housing shows nothing else but poor quality of paint. Pretty sad seeing it on a just done stuff.

This update sounds optimistic. The junk owner said the truck was 1985. So there are chances the hood is long. Today I checked out my trucks, it seems possible to move the radiator assembly about an inch backwards and than the hood hinge mountings. Now I'm planning on a train trip. Can sleep at night and spend an only day for the deal. The rear axles he has are of the same kind as the broken one in Siberian DMM so there's a reason to go anyway. Just too many affairs are being plaited together and not much luck is getting out of. All as usual. Thank you for the exact sizes. By the word there's the difference of 22 mm only, less than whole 25.4

Parallel switch
Vladislav replied to M54A1's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
...and the contacts in the switch power supply wires. -
Clifford Truck Show
Vladislav replied to BAD DOG's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Keith, thank you for sharing this. Your R looks great, the only sorrt on my mind you ran out of the long fuel tanks. They were not so shiny though. Beautiful light green B with black fenders. -
I double it since ran out of likes either. That driver in white Freightliner seems not experienced enough off-roading. Maybe his fault was just a wrong thinking on the truck properties. Sure it was long enough and painted white but I would say Ossum Possum might have better chances competiting with it. Oh, maybe another reason. Green Dash being first on that way made too deep traces in the ground. Neat Detroit pics road scenaries and those wild animal shots are the exsellent shots. Especially the last one. Still wonder why to add gold to planting mix...

Hmmm... Don't remember seeing any cow with a helmet on. Hope you're Ok and the power is back on. Speedy recovery to your mother in law.

Clifford Truck Show
Vladislav replied to BAD DOG's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Looks like you had a nice day. A lot of neat trucks. By the word green RW with black and white strips seems related to one of our members either. There were pics of it posted in the gallery some while back. -
Injection pump
Vladislav replied to eddeere's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
From looking the pic your pump absolutely sure has its own oil bath. Separated from the engine, has the seal over the drive shaft in front. Looks generally the same as my American Bosch off Lanova. My manual tells true about it though.

I agree, the KW is my favorite. Many nicely restored small old trucks either. Is the yellow with blue van box Reo? Thank you for posting BC.

I have 2 original hoods at the moment and can sacrifize one of them since it's beaten up pretty hard. The other seem fixable but need work over the front hinge area so there's a risk of stress cracks in the future. The same worries to length up the rear edge. Paul, what do you mean of the hinge moving? Does a long hood have additional fatt in the hinge mounting area and hinges with brackets take the same place on frame rails?

BS and unbeliveable stupidity again. Prohibitation and limitation is the easiest way. Much more difficult is to study people what the things were and what was good and bad. And than you wouldn't became racist of fashist just observing Swastika or Confederation flag. Closing such symvols from a show they take facts off the history. They deform the history that way. And the history will not be usable to teach lessons for the future.

Those stories above are really sad and sound like nightmares. Although it doesn't seem to me as a shortage of moral. I'd say it's unhealthy psichics. Such folks can't be called "humans" on my mind. And should be separated from the society, to jail or a closed hospital, no principal matter. The sadness of those facts is that 100% of any population can't be absolutely "normal". Some ones might be bad exceptions. And to our great sorry they can have kids or contact with. Maybe I use to live in the other kind of society but liberalism doesn't seem to me as the way to deal with such people.

Found this locally. Locally means 1000 km away though. There are remains of some R-model and the owner said it was R686. Front axle, rears, tranny and the hood. I was going to check it out but got a doubt. My interest is to use the hood for my R wich is R688ST with E6-350 and air-to-air front mounted. Is a R686 part 1 inch shorter and how bad it could be put instead? By the word, any thoughts on the paint scheme? Any familiarity?

Happy 4th of July Gentlemen!
