Paul

Great Stuff and thanks for sharing some history 

It appears to be a part of the world I'll never understand but still fascinates me 

Paul

Well hope you had a CRACKER OF A DAY 

Paul 

They aren't the prettiest thing side on 

Paul 

Check out the set back front axle 0n this F model, oh and the horns on the roof are pretty cool as well

No details on these jiggers

I think it was too. My brother in law is the 3rd owner of it and the previous owner said he only put about 5-6k miles on it. We have about 4 inches of paperwork on it of all the work done to it.

 

Paul do you have any pictures of it?

Sorry been a bit busy last few days, finally got some happy snaps

As you can see they are a genuine Mack part, there's all the numbers off them 

I doubt chromed these after they are made as they are two pieces, the cap in the middle is a separate piece that is pressed in like a welch plug, think you blokes call the frost plugs 

Anyway thats them

Does anyone make chrome or stainless steel axle covers for 58k Camelback rears with the cone shaped axle ends? I didn't know if any companies made them for these axles or even a hubometer style cap that has a hole in the center. Working on my brother in law's 85 rd688sx and want to dress up this rare low mileage gem

Well I think Mack as my 58's are chromed and Mack is cast into them

Even the covers for the trunnions were chromed, very little chrome remains now as it has come off with stone chips

Paul 

Full syncro, used to call them banana boxes back in the day

They must be fairly different to drive because a lot of Road Ranger fellas broke them pretty quick lol

I think they are a good box if you know how to handle them

I have never driven one ,neighbours growing up had them on logging for many many years and thats who told me all about them, they must have worked out fine as they bought more

Paul

Looks like Brussels to with that doohikie in the back ground, built fgor the world fair and called the Atomium,  I think thats what it is

I reckon this a Dutch based truck, there was a mob that ran a whole heap of these painted this way , Vlad will know a lot more than me

Paul

Looks like a Mack dealer ship in Spain

Picture bellow is Olloquiegui  Transportation of Pamplona Spain 

Open to correction on these two

Freshly flogged from Facebook
