McAleese is now Rivet but not sure if they are doing heavy haul. They seem more interested in tippers.

Vladislav Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I might be seen as exception but I better like the flat top of the hood of an in-line Aussie Value Liner. But that's about the look only. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52265-aussie-heavy-haul/#findComment-390222 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel2 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Going back to the LTL era, there certainly wasn't anything more beautiful. The built in-house by Mack Trucks F-model (and CF) cab was something we were very proud of. It was heavy, but you couldn't wear it out. I personally do have a strong connection to it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52265-aussie-heavy-haul/#findComment-390243 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess depending on the age there were no restrictions to bring in right hand drive truck. Just the shipping alone must have been a fortune. Most of the time if I buy something in Australia the shipping cost more or almost as much as product lol.
