farmer52 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thanks for the link. Interesting trucks, especially the RH drive B. I can't imagine shifting with my left hand.

David Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thanks for the link. Interesting trucks, especially the RH drive B. I can't imagine shifting with my left hand.You would get used to after you banged up your knuckles a couple of times on the door handle. Think it would really mess with your mind if they switched the pedals around?

Vladislav Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Pedals have their common position.I had some experiences of left hand driving including manual box and can say I forgot about anything was wrong right after 10 minutes drive.With a single stick though.Here are other samples of European modifications and rebuilds.How old Dutch production sheet told there were B models with different cabs from 7 manufacturers avalible.That one snow plow NM model with London plates is of the same bunch as one I have now.

That would draw some attention at Macungie.

Vladislav Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Vlad - great pics especially the B with "square" cab.I prefere standard B cab.Because it is nice looking and because it is stock.Although B's with L cab are awesome.More nightmares: Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29236-old-european-macks/#findComment-155922 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jocko Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 i guess they didnt like the small b cabs Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29236-old-european-macks/#findComment-156087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 They really didn't like small cabs, also there was a way to save cost using local built cabs.That Renault Magnum is just Renault with the letters on the bonnet. It has Mack engine inside so it's popular kind of art around Europe. Russia also.Real Mack Magnums were Australian, were 6x4 only and have Cummins Signature under the cab. And left hand drive. How I know there are no Renault 6x4, 6x2 sometimes.
