  1. Another day of struggling along with a computer that has more gigga bytes than me Paul
  2. Shady tree, deck chair, esky and sit and stare I dont have any real plans, it is totally stuffed so I really need to fix the corrosion problems first New sides, new floors, new gates, it's a long list But I have something to work with now Paul
  3. That was fantastic stuff, thanks for sharing Paul
  4. Harry there was a time I thought it was quite common for all R models to have that hole in the bonnet, turns out I was wrong lol The bonnet and cab has a few extra cut outs like that that no one ever see's When the bug deflector was on the bonnet you couldn't see that hole from inside or outside Once Covid does what ever the fudge it's gunna do you should come and check out this wide brown land Bob Paul
  5. I cant see anyone buying it for export to Australia or any other part of the world for that money I could be wrong and unfold my deck chair and be filling my esky to get ready to sit and stare but highly unlikely Paul
  6. Well time for some more punishment I guess Pretty dull but tough Paul
  7. Hot off the press news conference https://youtu.be/cKoMHJ0IzK0 Paul
  8. Sounds like a plan, I'm guessing its gotta be close to fitting, same shape cab and all Take some measurements and see what happens I guess Paul
  9. I believe that all R models in Australia had the largest radiator that Mack had available at the time, regardless of motor fitted As to the steel bonnet, they were all that was sold pretty much in Australia in the early years as the general consensus was that fiberglass wouldn't last It actually turned out the otherway, fiberglass was a lot longer lasting, easier to work on and looked better to boot Damage was even lower from roos etc hitting them Paul
  10. I reckon your onto it Swishman Either that or the joey box is called something different in Brockways Paul
  11. This isnt really Mack truck related except that I drive my truck there and well back Paul
  12. Well hot off the press from Facelessbook So there you go, a big bucket load of coin was gunna be needed My arms might of been bit short and my pockets a bit deep to buy it Paul
  13. The sign I think is for the truck beside it Swishman Theres some classy looking rides there Im just stunned at how good some these trucks look Were Brockways popular all over the U.S. or more just the East coast ? Thanks for sharing the photos with us Paul
  14. Because it isnt a Maxidyne, only Maxidynes had Gold dogs in the beginning all other Macks had chrome Paul
  15. You'll be able to tell if I got it as my ass will be wtuck in a lawn chair with esky beside me while I just sit and stare for hour after hour Paul
  16. Dont by shy It's a lot closer to you than it is to me, go hard, show no mercy I thought you Americans were the land of the brave or some such thing lol Paul
  17. Theres a Mack website to ask these questions, no good me asking as it will give me the question to Macks Australian warranty But jump on there and ask the Mack people them selves "Warranty | Mack Trucks" https://www.macktrucks.com/parts-and-services/support/warranty/ Paul
  18. Sounds like a busy summer over there We will all be waiting for the updates Paul
  19. So were are you measuring from to get your 7 inches ? We gotta make sure we are measuring the same thing Paul
  20. So beem thinking about this and I gather what you are chasing is either 5 or 6 spoke spider hubs with a 8 stud bolt pattern for the axle and were it bolts to the hub ? And all of this to fit on a 20 inch rim ? Am I even close If so have you looked at a 58,000pound as end on spiders as they have 8 studs on the axle end and come in 20 inch Paul
  21. Both power Im pretty sure, grounds thru the motor Paul
  22. Sit the engine up high enough you can sit the transmission on wood and pipe Unbolt roll away Then roll back in when your done It is lot simpler to type it here than it is to do Have a tape measure hand to measure between the faces of the bell housing and the motor to make sure you keep it square Paul
  23. I remember what only seems like yesterday a similar style of R model and semi tipper advertised and all the tyre kickers came out I think by memory it had maybe 25000 miles from new It was a lot of coin but these things just dont come up very often and never in Australia Paul
