  1. Yes, it is. It took me a while to find a correct engine in the past since my original chassis had a wrong one. Ended up importing a whole donor truck from Europe. With the engine stuck.
  2. Overall NR's were basically made as a L-model chassis. They seem closer to LF I guess having relatively light front axle, 44000 rears and single frame rails. But the wheels were used of 11.00-24 size with super single 14.00-20 rears on early production units.
  3. A couple of "before" pics
  4. Thanks for the warm comments guys and blokes! As we know they're very motivating and are an essential need in proceed of these big projects.
  5. Seems like I should choose as "the most helpful answer" this your post as it's offered in the top of the page
  6. Put Lanova engine into the NR chassis of Friday. The chassis was completed 12 years ago and the engine first started 8 years ago. The 2nd story was untold due to shortage of time. Now the things look more promising than before but still damn amount of tinkering ahead.
  7. They were of multiple styles. Here's one of them.
  8. I think all Macks of that year had firewall and door openings (the whole cab inside) painted graphite metallic. So that's not a Freedom feature. For the frame my way would be ordering a pair of new straight steel rails from PG Adams or so of similar section as the alu ones are, slide them in place of the bad ones and reattach all the chassis parts back on. Probably a big job but you get very close to original config in the end. The rails may be ordered pre-drilled for a few more coins (about 70% extra to the cost though) but that is notably time consuming along the job. I like the look of the truck in this current color very much. But no doubt bringing its appearance back to that limited series butch is a must to do along a possible resto deal. And if I'm not wrong Rene, the Nederland guy had a few sets of Freedom decals fabricated in the past. He used to be a member on here (Mack boy?) so checking out may be an efforts saving point too.
  9. So... Did you allow her to steer the FWD in a parking lot???!!! The Hahn would be another story, but FWD!!!... And those 99 Cents mentioned above also smell related.
  10. Don't you need the heater unit to be re-arranged? It's under the passenger seat in the stock configuration.
  11. Didn't go for free as it seems to me but looks like a good solid truck on the picture. Thanks for sharing, I like them L's.
  12. Wow! Great! Thanks for sharing! Just looks like I need a couple of evenings to go through all those nice shots.
  13. Paul mate, It happens I'm a penny bit busy in the recent times. Interesting thread, would be cool if we see the final result some day. Here is a link to my R-model restoration work. Including the opening arrangement. https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61222-r-model-cab-resto-report/#comment-444164
