    Here is a link to some pictures of mostly 70's era Australian trucks. The KW model designation SAR stood for Short Australian Right hand drive. Mack had an Australian outfit Reinforced Plastic making fiberglass F model cabs and some other companies (Leader??) also used them. International AU and Chrysler AU had a long and interesting relationship, early IH used the Dodge Pilot House cab and later Dodges used the IH A line cab! https://www.hcvc.com.au/forum/OldTruck/16820-overlander-s-old-photos?limitstart=0

    Charlie, Paul Nailed it!! He is on the North side not the South.. Are you in Maine on a work project with time to kill?? After Erv passed away Daryl bought like 150 of Erv's trucks, So one will have the others phone numbers to make contact. Going to try to post a couple of links so you can see his barn before and after. http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/99086/The-Erv-Bickford-Collection?PageIndex=3

    Charlie, he is in New Glouster which does not show on the atlas.. I think He is just south of Portland and inland a ways. While you are in the area stop in Yarmouth and visit the Erv Bickford Collection. The city park part by the RR tracks is open 24/7 but you have to call them to get into his shop and display barn about a 1/2 mile away on another street.

    Does the governor plunger shaft have a screwdriver slot and a lock nut on it, under the rubber cover??? If so play with it... also if you decide to take it apart and clean the inside bore, be sure to take to inlet air line off first, before you pop the snap ring out.. Ask me how I know!!!!! I have done several roadside "rebuilds"

    B Mack: Are these contrails actually visible jet exhaust or are they water condensation from the warm jet?? It seems like you only see them under certain atmospheric conditions?? I do not know!! Just tossing the question out at more knowledgeable people.. I remember one evening at our terminal in Indy, about dusk, looking west we counted 21 contrails between St Louis and Chicago. The sun was just right and you could pick out a silver dot at the beginning of some of them.

    Hobert Since your boys are that enthusiastic turn them loose on their friends. I am sure they will come up with another parent to drive the chase car!!

    Sean Welcome to Big Mack Trucks.. For info about your truck, when you find the serial number send it to the Mack Museum in Allentown, along with a donation, and they will send you the build sheet, who the first owner was, manuals and any other info the have.

    If you are going to be doing a lot of bobtailing I would consider bracket which had more lights in them so you have a little more visibility that just the required 2 stop/turn on the rear.

    A good looking clean truck. Probably cleaned up good enough for a regional museum?? Plainsman said he was donating to a museum. I presume that he just needs a value for tax purposes? Therefore he can go on the high side, unless he is expecting an IRS audit!! I personally have no idea. Jim Hancock, Superdog, 41 Chevy, Mackdaddy, Maint1, Maddog13407?? Someone should be able to toss out a ballpark figure..

    I am even further out than OD.. 7 miles to the post office and nearest small convenience store, 15 miles to Wally World and drug store, 25 to Lowes, etc and a strip mall. And 55 acres to piss in out the back door.. LOVE IT!!!!!

    To add to the excellent information from KSC there is another product made by KBS Coatings which similiar to the POR-15 which can be applied with a brush and when dried looks sprayed. Contact Eddy Lucast at Eddy.Lucast@remotedata.com or here: http://kbs.justoldtrucks.com/

    Vlad If I remember correctly, Windsor was a pretty big outfit and it was probably cheaper to have their own wrecker to retrieve breakdowns and lift equipment for repairs, ETC ETC than having to call an outside vendor each time??
