Popular Post Vladislav Posted October 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2019 This year stars didn't line up for me to visit Tructoberfest but I could get to another show. The event took place in Europe so much closer to me. Actually the closest Mack event if look from my location. Some trucks worked in Europe in the past and than later became restored. Some others were imported from the US for hobby reasons. Also interesting that a couple of rigs came to the show from Great Britain. That's another coast of La Manche, means they had to take a ferry and make at least 300 km trip. 9 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And too probably the most which are in active state. There were also some American trucks of different brands overthere and to my surprize I was told they're even more scarce in Europe than Macks 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason was Dutches were purchasing new Macks in a shape of chassis and front end only, with no cab. That splitted the cost. The cabs were made locally by body shops. To me it seems those shops made a really good quality stuff. The shapes were quite complicated and artificient for a commercial vehicle part being produced not really long after the end of the war. The same kind of story is blue and cherry trucks which are NR-models and had military style open cabs when were supplied to Holland under Lend-Lease in 40's. Those cabs were not comfortable for daily use so the reason for conversion is clear. But worth to note those aftermarket cabs look way off from a simple wooden outhouse style. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Nice selection of Mack's to view! Certainly enjoy seeing the trucks with locally fabricated cabs. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
