Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted September 12, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2017 Well would you believe there is some confusion???? We have sold our farm and need the Mack to shift among other things and we had to be out of the main shed by the 1st September, but that ended up been a major stuff up as the new owner told us we had heaps of time and we can have the shed till the end of Sept , come the 27 or 28th he calls the Princess and asks how we are looking to be out by the 1st and she told him not good as he said we had till the end of the month The new owner promptly lost the plot a bit until I stepped in and told him we will work with him as best as we can but when things change he needs to tell us (I aint a mind reader) As it turned out we were out by the 10th of Sept this involved a lot of early mornings as in starting at 3.30am and working to 10.00pm, not a word of thanks from the useless prick but then again pricks are pricks the world over I think and for some reason once people become a prick they tend to stay that way for life Anyway next video is ready so go on put your self asleep with this dribble seeya Paul 4 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50535-extreme-make-over-time-for-mrs-mack/page/5/#findComment-379438 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Wow! every time I'm off the site for some while, what happens recently quite often with me, I found out a lot of things had happened. Some of them are of a kind I wouldn't like to miss. Even feel a shame when stories like this go without my attention. You may think what kind of help could be provided by a guy who is in some thousand miles away? But sometimes just a good word may do a job being said in time. I have exusion though since right in the moment I also provide serious make over to my daily driver. And have a time frame up to the snow time. But that's a story for another thread. Watched almost 7 episodes today and read all the comments. Seems done alot taknig to account some hectic matter of the story. If I were you I'd try to organize the things some different way. To have some reserve of time and a "B" plan. Sure don't know how it was possible or not. On the other hand there is an old saying of you never have time enough to finish a project in time but you always find some to fix your mistakes after it's already done. This time I see you got out of the story quite well and the only thing worth to tell is congrats. Moreover, my very hats off for you hadding even time and power to document everything and make the movies with all the subscripts and so on. They're really nice to see and very appreciated. Now it's already 1AM at me so the time to go for a sack. Good luck on whatever you do! As for me I hope to complete watching tomorrow.

Popular Post B-42 Posted October 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2017 Heard the ABC is cancelling Dr. Blake Mysteries. Maybe you should approach them with some episodes of Mrs. Mack, the reality show. Could start you off on a whole new career path. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50535-extreme-make-over-time-for-mrs-mack/page/5/#findComment-381948 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the standard Mack seat but to find anything any good is as rare as rocking horse shit so I just leave what I have It is almost embarrassing how little I new about this seat after all these years of sitting in it But a R model cab isnt really big enough to get to excited with adjustments anyway LOL Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50535-extreme-make-over-time-for-mrs-mack/page/5/#findComment-381958 Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Paul: Maybe you know. Saw a movie the other day called walkabout from about 1968. Was about a girl and her brother wandering around in the outback. In it they showed an R model tipper with a couple of belly dumps. On the front bumper it said left hand drive and the driver was on the left side. I guess Mack had some left hand drive trucks at one time in Aussieville. Were these imports or Aussie builds. If Aussie builds do they still make any left hand drives. If so they would be ripe for export. Trident Superliner? Wish full thinking maybe. Just started following this thread. Glad I did. Great job.

BillyT Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Mrs Mack Paul, I watched a couple episodes of "outback truckers" last night much less "scripted" than "ice road truckers" I quit watching that when the driver used the Jake brake on ice! Have driven a few r and u models, never heard of the "dreaded Eldorado" seat the r and u models I drove had the basic Mack suspension seat with the flat bottom cushion and slightly curved backrest very uncomfortable and thin! Your r model is coming along great! If you got paid for all the time you put in straightening that tank you could retire! But the results were worth it! I often wondered if all Aussies and Brits are left handed or ambidextrous lol I can't imagine shifting left handed, but I guess I could learn,as I learned to split a compound two handed!😁 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50535-extreme-make-over-time-for-mrs-mack/page/5/#findComment-383330 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some LHD drive trucks were imported to Western Australia for mine use I doubt any were built here, the R models that were built here used a LHD cab and a template was put on the fire wall to drill all the right holes in all the right spots And almost every hole in the fire wall from a LHD was covered over with component either in the cab or in the fire so when they are it looks like they are factory RHD, which I guess they are but the conversion is really neat and its not until you strip the cab right down you can see any difference And I have never watched the "Walk about" movie that I know of so most check it out one day Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50535-extreme-make-over-time-for-mrs-mack/page/5/#findComment-383353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) This did look like a mine truck. Be very careful there is a naked lady swimming in the movie.
