I would of thought a spoked/spider axle would be easy to come across with a good ratio A rear axle off a bogie drive I would think would be a give away type of deal just about Paul

I think there was a few different versions of how the plumbing was done Some years ago on the forum there was a lot of discussion in a thread about this very topic Someone smarter than me could probably find it and post a link Paul

A straight bit of pipe on the intake is a easy fix Maybe a couple of elbows and stack up a couple of common car type air filters, like off a car type V8, real simple type of paper elements stacked up Two or three of these stacked up Should be simple enough and will get you out of trouble for bugger all money I have seen photos on the forum of B models with a coolpowered motor with no filter on the turbine side So I dunno how much filtering the actually need, everything wears I guess Paul

On spiders, dayton, wobbly wheels like this I don't think 250 lbs is the right figure as would probably strip the nuts Anyway I'm thinking more like 100 lbs and check every few k's, just nip them up Maybe do this three or 4 times The standard wheel brace for these was no more than 18inches long, maybe 24 inches at the max Paul

That's different way to go And yes a gorgeous day here as well Paul

In Australia and NewZealand we run a second aircleaner for the tip turbine air only Paul

And intercooler would have to be filtered If something happened to the valve that feeds the turbine you could easily suck dirty air into the motor Paul

I think you all are missing the big issue here, the motor is sucking unfiltered air back thru the intercooler There's nothing to stop air entering the intercooler outlet and through the intercooler backwards and straight through to the motor I'm thinking the air will take the path of the least resistance Maybe the turbine is so loud because when it is been driven it is driving against air that's already going the wrong way Paul

Yeah, I feel.Mack did use a redish primer Whats up with the doors? Paul

Yes, if I was to buy and import it to Australia I could never get it registered as the looneys running the show have made a rule that any heavy vehicle over 10 years of age imported into Australia isn't allowed to be registered Rule change came into effect July 2024 Apparently that's gunna save the world Paul

They do say we should follow our hearts If it was what I wanted, I probably would just buy it Life has enough regrets already without adding "I regret buying that almost new 1984 R model in 2025" Paul

Will have to see if I can find this to watch it While I'm dicking about looking for it, have a ganda at this Or maybe this Or some other brand of who ha Paul

Well hope you had a great day Stuff a few ANZAC biscuits in your gob, I'm chucking a couple in my.gob to celebrate for you https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anzac_biscuit 🥳🍻🦘 Paul

Pretty sure it wasn't lined or pin striped back then, just the base colours Guessing this bloke has bought it then and personalized it Yes it's a lotta coin, but were else are you gunna buy one like it I seam to recall the seat had some story behind it Maybe the new seat was swapped with another truck in the fleet, but it was a genuine deal last time and maybe 10,000 miles then No matter, it was very low mileage Paul

Good for you, it was ANZAC day in Australia today, you can Google if you like I was out topping a paddock for winter and the weather man got it right Wet through by the time I got back to the ute and off the tractor Came home, got dry and "POOF" just like that, hours had past So watched Burt Reynolds in the movie "White Lightning" Then bed time I'm gunna be bloody hopeless if I ever retire More rain today, recliner chair is looking comfy Paul
