If Penns laws are the same as N.Y. ZERO!! After the papers are filed by the mrs. You convince her to go to Florida, Nevada or any where out of state for a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks. In N.Y. she loses all rights in the court system... at least in N.Y.

The Fiberglass F cabs were made in Melbourne by a company called Reinforced plastics, who also made the cabs for the 3800 series Atkinsons. F models had extra long grab handles. They were only available on the plastic cabs. From The Australian Mack Centennial book.

Part 1

Now I dont know about grab handles but I think this bit of the cab is the main bit that is different did they make Mack F models with a set back front axle anywhere else in the world

The people that owned Mack Australia at the time Westco also owned Leader Trucks that used a common mold with the Mack it later changed to a slightly different mold but they had the set back front axle as well

some plastic cab Aussie Macks with out the long step hand rail pretty sure the long step hand rail doodah was only used on day cabs

I reckon the red one might be a V8 with twin pipes

Part 2

now for some Aussie Leaders you should be able to see how close they looked at the start and then they changed a bit but it was still fairly easy to the Mack mold in there

Now for some Leaders with set back front axle

As you all can see I got a bit carried away with pictures sorry about that .I reckon I can still see the Mack truck in the sleeper part of the cab in some anyway If you have all seen these before please disregard if not I guess I might have taught you something

Full credit to who ever took the photos to start with

Good info.

Mrs. Mackpaul, if you were asking if any setback steer F's were built outside of Oz, yes there were a few built in Allentown but not many. I know they were popular in the Netherlands- not sure where those were built.

[dek1581]

would love to see the look of the state trooper when he sees you driving on the 'wrong' side of the cab haha!

Many thanks for sharing from your neighbourhood.

[mrsmackpaul]

Those roofs sure look good havent seen of those out here were they a standard Mack thing anywhere else in the world ?
