    Do you mean "elephant ear" brackets of a heavy suspension? As I said the frame's width varies. Don't remember seeing any spacers put between the ears and rails. They could be easily machined to be used on different frames to keep the same between the spring distance. I saw that on R-model rear engine mounts. The same castings but factory machined off along the mounting surface to clear up the inner rail (insert). Check out this tables. You can see the frame width there.

    Can't belive! Checked out my shelf and found out a B-model Volume 1 getting dust there. Seems like if I wait for a couple more years I would be able to swap it for a real B-model truck including shipping

    Of my uderstanding the dog must have 5 digit patent # (87931) not 7 digit newer one and also have longer ears. Higher edged to his back not his face. Check out ebay, plenty of dogs there so look all the images patiently and you will figure the true style. Non pitted ones show out for $60-$150. Be shure it's of the normal (large) size since there were smaller dogs of that old style which were used a an ash tray decoration and wouldn't look good on a grill. BTW nice looking L-model, sorry to see it in that poor shape. Hopefully somebody will take care about it or at least use some parts for his other projects. Vlad

    You can try this R-model diagram from this site's Wiki section. But checking it out it apperaed to me that it differed from my 1988 R and later models.

    Thanks for sharing. Very interesting and many nice pictures.

    Yup. There's a reason for a stepped style of the rails if the truck is 6x6. But this one doesn't have FWD so standart fishbelly style DM frame should work fine there.

    As said above. Newer RD cab cowl is Superliner style at the left and classic R-model at the right.

    Merry Christmas to everybody!

    Cool find Timmy! Must be really interesting to see such unusual animal in your environment.

    As said above. Interesting, From the other side of the globe. Vlad

    You nailed that Alex! I must have a group photo where I was dressed in the T-shirt. But it was printed on paper and the closest place I remember seeing it last time was on a wall in my friend's apartment in Dusseldorf Germany

    I also remember those iron transferred T-shorts. But here they showed up later, actually in late 80's when Perestroyka took its time and new public oriented technologies flooded the empty market. Personally i don't remember the transfers you could buy. Usually it was a shop you choose a pic and get it on a white T-short. Definitely none of Mack pics ever showed up so i had to satisfy myself with DB5 Aston Martin print.

    Just have no idea on who was by the wheel at the time you made the picture. Miss Molly??
  14. Vladislav
    With that much of damage to the wheels the axles must get some real cattywampus.
  15. Vladislav
    Looking the photo it seems like you definitely should.

    Going to collect a few key parts for one more project. Might be too early regarding the state of my current affairs but it seems like importing gets more difficult. So I'd like to do it while it's still possible. So looking for a complete 1985-1993 Mack RW Superliner II engine hood. In reasonable (fixable) condition together with top bezel and grill. Something like on the picture. Also of interest to the front hood mount that attaches it to chassis and a pair of front cab mounts. Would need all that transported to New Brunswick NJ some way or another. Vlad

    Makes me think that guy met 3 signs that day following each other.

    Congrats on the run to fun!

    Yes, that's right. Volga GAZ-21 (the plant Henry Ford built in 30's in the city of Gorky) was produced in USSR from 1956 to 1970. Currently it's the most popular classic car in Russia. Something like B-61 corresponding to the Mack world
  20. Vladislav
    The car is the old Volga car. But the matter of the point was not the car but the country of origin of the main subject of the picture Worth to note it looks to me as a bit of tuning was done to.
  21. Vladislav
    What your pumper is must be the same chassis as a commercial E-model of a certain load capacity. Something like EF or EH. Narrowing down this point would allow you to increase the field of parts search. Steering wheels for old trucks are usually a trouble to find. Also they could vary about the mounting hole style. Key slot, splines, different ID etc. So if you expect to have any luck locating the stuff better post as many pictures and detailed descriptions as possible. Vlad
  22. Vladislav
    I saw cases (and even probably used that trick myself) when you need to install a rim or wheel to just fit the resting one correctly. For example if the wheel studs don't have threads long enough to tight nuts against the single wheels you would have to install an empty wheel just as a spicer.
  23. Vladislav
    Does anybody know which model of car this girl seats in?
  24. Vladislav
    On the picture above i think the tyres we so really bad it wasn't a trouble to remove the restovers from the wheels. After that having the inners Ok the driver continued the journey. Strange we see no damage to the fender. But if the rubbers stayed in circles they wouldn't catch it.

    Buying a truck is always an exciting action, especially a nice and long planned one. Even if it has old tyres and needs paint. So missing the chance makes dissapointment. On the other hand there are so many trucks for sale every day and every night so need for a hurry. You can always prolong the enjoy choosing one or another. Thanks for the pictures Tom. P.S. That R-model in Ohio looked neat indeed.
