Wonderful purchase. Maybe you could ask if one of these drivers would like to drive it to the show. Many Inter R 190 and 200 owners in Australia used to bend that gear lever up near vertical from about 3-4 inches below the 2 spd button, so the lever would not touch the seat base and more user friendly for shifting gears. It was bent enough to not touch the dash board. I will see if I can find a picture of a bent lever.

For anyone interested about this new technology, this is a brief update in relation to what is progressing in India. I think that once India implements this new technology, the USA power companies will want to take up the technology.

this the V style design I was referring to that Mack used for the R model cabs, our R model V/liner has the wider square opening, I think all the Bicentennial's have the V shape opening. with the bigger opening you can open under the bunk into the cab and use it for personal storage and still have the original classic sleeper cab. your sleeper cab will look wonderful, congratulations

A perfect match for Mrs Mack. Given your capabilities Paul, you could open the front, wider and down to the floor to make it like a walk thru and lower the bunk so it will be very easy to get in and out. Leave the outside original but convert the inside to make it enjoyable and comfortable. The entry can be the square opening or the lower opening the V shape that Mack had on the valueliners and superliners.

This is an update on my recent post, it is a youtube video by Jordan at Alchemical Science, one of many posted by Jordan, an Australian physicist who has been following and investigating this new technology for at least 2 years. Bob Greenyer is an engineer who has been following this new technology for some time. In this video Jordan confirms the Indian navy to trial the technology. The Modi government of India has to resolve 2 major challenges for the future of India, 1/ Expand the energy supply to meet the huge growing demand for energy to power it's economy, which will surpass the Chinese economy. Currently India is the biggest coal user and it is forecast to double within 5 years or sooner if it is continued to be used to run the power generators and 2/ Chronic pollution across the country, which if not resolved will reduce economic development and growth.

This is the future in many ways. Please have a read of the attached newspaper article that was published in a local Australian newspaper in Jan 2024. This is NO SHAM, the Indian govt is onto the technology exactly as it is reported in the article. The technology works as you will discover if you get into reading about it. There are many critics BUT they are lost in their bubble of controlled thinking and education. Just like the critics said the earth was flat. Then if you are interested to get more information, go to Strike Foundation.org and Alpha Prospects UK. There are a number of youtube videos to checkout to watch this world changing technology. With this new technology there will be retrofit units made so that our classic cars and trucks etc can continue to roam the highways indefinitely. And for the people wanting to operate their older trucks etc in the states like California, it will be the way to go.

Thanks for posting.

These look like Japanese trucks we have in Australia.

Scania with Ford badge.

Try Restoration Specialties USA, they have all the rubber and foam for the clearance lights.

Try contacting Gary Richards, he is on facebook in the Mack Valueliners or Aussie Mack Valueliner, he worked at Mack in production.

Speak to Tim Turner at Tylden Heritage, Kyenton VIC, he may have one in stock.

Even after a long working life at old Lou Arthur's, MrsMackPaul is still full of energy. They certainly put their trucks to work and did not worry too much about presentation. Most of Lou Arthur's trucks were bought second hand and maybe some were ex - fuel tankers, Paul do you know the original owner and what it used for?

Willard Good's with E9

It has to be the top of the list of classic Macks and all big trucks, particularly as it was early 1950's. The blue one with the E9 & Mercury alloy sleeper, which is still working pulling a tipping trailer during corn harvest, is 👌

Same hood/bonnet as 6 cyl Valueliner in Australia. Neat R model Mack.

Neat and tidy concrete yard and especially Mack.

Volvo or SCANIA ?????? 🤔 What sort of $'s does it cost to land a good used tandem in Canada. Are there any restrictions and conditions to import the Scania's?

Surprised to see the 'MACK' and Doggie on the hood - UPS have always had vehicles supplied with the brand name and emblems removed.

Here is it's history, was owned by Howards Trucking. Does anyone know the history of Howard Trucking. I recall that Howard's had a number of trucks.

is that the one with the 2 dogs on the cowling?

Prices have gone up over there to. A 1987 Superliner day cab, 12 spd was sold for $AUS86,000 plus buying fee maybe 5% online auction last Friday. Average condition.

Here in Melbourne daily I see many Scania truck and dog tipper (both quads and triple axles) units working on our major tunnels, mostly V8's, fully loaded they get up and go like cars. Some of these V8's have modified exhausts - they sound good. They seem very popular in the tipper work for civil works because of their tight steering circle set up.

Well what about our pets, they fart too and it's ....,(my lab has been ... tonight) so will pets be banned soon? 😂🤔

The Iranian F model looks similar to the late 60's F models we had in Australia. That F model and many other Macks were exported to Iran prior to 1982 when it was called Persia, a period that US had close ties. I wonder how and where they obtain parts for their Macks in Iran given the US sanctions.
