    My Canadian R had a carpet on the floor and the inner side of the firewall was also carpeted. The vertical part was attached to the sheet metal by steel clipses.

    Looks like a R-model type door part. So could go to R, RW, DM, U, F etc. A seldom damaged part but I had to swap a pair rebuilding my truck.

    Looks really well-cared. BTW does anybody know the higth of Cruiseliner measuring over the cab's top?

    Nice! Your black and white memory card does good job

    Wow! Many thanks for sharing. Definitely a place I should find possibilities to show up and explore myself. Getting worldy is a nice deal, isn't it Tim?

    What a nice little baby! Looks like a fun to play with. Might be shaky hitting a road but a kind of pleasure on my mind. Glad to see you back on!

    Have a Great Day! Or at least as smooth as it could currently be.

    Very impressive equipement and nice scenaries I'm not getting upset to be looking at. Really nice to hear from you Tim. Hope you're doing well during the lockdown and get a use for the time. Here we are also locked but not really tight. Many folks continue doing current jobs including truckers and many small businesses which can work behind closed gates. Same with me tinkering with old Macks and selling a part for MB from time to time.

    Ok, that makes sence.

    There was a couple of R-model cabs offered for sale recently in the "Parts for Sale" forum on here. Not for free though.

    RM is a kind of a DMM without offset cab.
  12. Vladislav
    Upps... That's funny.

    looks like a good deal. But sounds a bit extreme about the price tag. Are they 38000 or 44000lb springs? And was it a trouble to find a pair of good used Camelback springs off a R or a B-model? I doubt you would see any difference between new and used springs in a hobby truck as long as they're not initially brocken.

    Very interesting to see Matt's truck in one modification back condition. Thanks for sharing.
  15. Vladislav
    Yup, as said above. Many people are usually looking for an old rig on this site. But putting an add with no pictures is about a worthless deal. Vlad

    Yes, that was the cab suspension of 1985 RW613 with E6-350 under the hood. The truck was red with black interior so no possibility seemed it was originated as a Magnum. When I was making the photo I was sure I looked at a cab suspension air bag. And only much later observing the picture I realized there was a solid rubber block not an air cushion. Was too surprizingly to me and your explanation of installing such part to minimize cab to sleeper movements cleared the clouds.

    Many thanks. My choice would be the RS if I ever do but the Pete definitely has attractive and not very common appearance.

    I surprizingly saw none of both of those when I was in Istambul in 2011. Moreover, all in all I cruised no less than 2500 km over the Turkey roads both mains and locals and saw only one Mack truck I even couldn't figure out which model it was. The truck went in the opposit direction on a 6 lane highway behind the concrete divider. It looked like a DM or maybe a R-model but difficult to determine when we passed each other on a speed of 200+ km/h in total.
  19. Vladislav
    Excellent! Any side pics of the Pete where the color scheme is better seen?
  20. Vladislav
    Is this what you was talking about? I surprized seeing a non-air suspended cab on a RW. The truck had 36" Able Body.

    The most amazing fact is the reason of that matter is the mother-nature. A driver is a kind of a male animal. So he just marks his territory. No doubt he doesn't understand that himself.

    C-model in Keystone Truck and Tractor Museum I took a picture of in 2018.
  23. Vladislav
    Not almost what you meant. That collar and pin setup was used on DM's including DM800 you are building. The style with rubber pads I mentioned was what was used on L-models including LT's. I have that setup in my 1945 military Mack. The front axle assembly used there was off a L-model I belive. The picture of the light green frame (not khaky) is a C-model front spring rear bracket. As you can see its body is similar to a R-model part by the shape but accomodates the spring end in rubber pads clamped with a cover. Difficult to see on the below the chassis picture but you can if zoom in.
  24. Vladislav
    Both look nice on my mind. Just different of style.

    Wonder how the prints are heat and wear resistant. I had luck buying a tea cup in the America on Wheels museum with their print on. And to my unpleasant surprize the picture got suffered from boiled water put in making tea.. For correct judgement i should point out I still use the cup everyday and the print still on, Just got small bubbles all over so I expect it chipping off soon.
