Nah mate Paint it how you want Paul

And I only took a photo of the left hand side as I thought that it is probably the one not normally fitted but can photos of the other side if needed There is quite a bit of reinforcing in behind the panel Even out side, the bracket for the can has bolts through the cowl up top So 4 bolts and little to no reinforcement would definitely not be strong enough Put a couple of hats up high and things change very quickly with the loading just from the wind Maybe check out my videos when I put all the new cowl and that on, there maybe more information there A few hours of ribbish to fill in your evening Paul

Okay, the sun is up and it's gunna be a scorcher But piccies were obtained

I bloody forgot, drinking Jim Beam now so in the morning if I remember Paul

Noooooooo, say it isn't true The Pinnacle at least looked like a truck, you Seppo's need to get your new man Trump on the job of stopping this madness And while he is at it, someone over there, have a word in Trumpy's ear and get him to bring the Maxitorque back as well Doing that will help to make America great again, just sayin Paul

If I get a chance and my rememberer works well enough I'll take some happy snaps tonight Paul

The Australian Superliner used a normal R model cab, the U.S. Superliner cabs are different than a normal R model cab Maybe the cowl area is stronger on the R model cab than the Superliner cab Paul

I can honestly say I never noticed Mexico cast into the block, but on the crank I'm pretty sure and the big end caps The 292 went okay for what they are, they are no power house We only had the 292 in the C50 and C60 The C20 and C30 could be got with a 350 but standard was the 292 This of course is in Australia only Paul

I wonder if the Argentine Chev's were Canadian based like the rest of British Empire as Argentine was like claytons member of the Empire, they were never 100% with the Empire but traded with the Empire as if they were I feel the Bedford motors, although dated were a better motor than the Mexican 6 Great stuff Paul

My uncle sent me these a while ago, he had seen it at a hot rod show

Tom those Toyotas were pretty common here back in the day, not as common as aIH ACCO or Dodge, but were plentiful enough and survived quite well Paul

I see a Burma Dodge, I have mentioned those before on here How did you get tob Alice Springs ? I would get rid of Mrs Mack (possibly) for one of those Paul

A little warmer here Good to see the old trucks getting a second life Hope the ocean is flat and smooth sailing Paul

I believe this maybe the thread in question Paul

What voltage do you get at the ignition switch ? Paul

As similar I guess to a Chev small block but the off set is reversed On a Chev the LHS head is further forward than the RHS to fit steering boxes and clutch and brake pedals in The Holden V8 is opposite as we drive on the other side of the road Holden V8's sound really tough, they sound tougher than a small block Chev but don't go as good as they sound lol They do go pretty hard for a small motor and when hotted up will punch well above their weight Paul

Probably a little late to the party here When doing gearboxes I find the electric deep fryer filled with hydraulic oil to heat bearings and the like the go And the freezer works well I can usually just drop the parts together The deep fryer is nice gentle even heat Okay, back into my box Oh this is really interesting thread, thanks for sharing with us all Paul

So if it isn't making any smoke at all your lacking fuel So the next question is, what controls the amount of fuel When the turbo failed did it dump it's bits and pieces in the exhaust ? What happened to the turbo when it failed ? Even though I most probably be able to help as this pretty modern Diesel is still diesel and they still need air, fuel and compression to work, even if they are swimming in electronic doodahs No smoke tells me no fuel Of it was mechanical I would say fuel filters It sounds like something is telling to not add fuel Paul

Probably take a photo of the motor, those numbers mean nothing to me I'm guessing it's a E7 motor though Paul

No idea on the location but I expect the U.S. somewhere Ask on Facelessbook, probably in a private message will get a better result Paul

They worked fine, Holden even sold a kit to put the 308 V8 in the Bedfords at your own place Can't imagine manufacturers doing that today Leyland sold their smallest trucks with the Australian Leyland V8 International Harvester little trucks had the 345 V8 Dodge COE sold their trucks with the 318 Hemi We were hoons back then, back when fuel was cheap Paul

Can you just clean this up with a couple of die nuts ? Paul

Spotted this on Facelessbook, might be of interest Happy trails "Lovemachine"

Everthing Geoff said, and especially so if it was all working fine a little while ago and no one changed or made any adjustments It could be something really simple and just throwing parts at it may not even get close to fixing it Paul
