The rules are pretty simple, 1st 2nd or any other amendments dont really count as this forum is world wide and the world does exist out side the 50 states of the US of A So as such the forum has to cater for that and the rules are pretty darn simple,manners, mannners and more manners It's not hard to follow and we are all pretty easy going so it shouldn't be a problem unless we choose to make a problem, I dont and wont Paul

Should be able to loosen this lock nut and screw the center section in a bit then relock the lock nut Paul

I grew up in a town of maybe 100 a people (grew up 3 mile out of town on a farm) and once or twice a year we would go to Colac our next biggest town during school holidays and it was around 10,000 people I remember when my brother and I got a T shirt, the one shown was his and I got a SAR Kenworth on mine The shop was the sporting goods shop and as you described had 100's of iron on transfers I remember I had no idea what was going and Mum getting frustrated as I dicked around, didn't know about transfers at the time It was pretty special to me, yeah I know it's lame by todays standards but they were great old days, I have a feeling mine lost its sleeves when tried to be even cooler one summer Far more fun than today's kids, dragster push bike, a bag full of lollies 5 cents worth (we got the 5 cents for riding the 3 mile to town to get tge Saturday Age paper for Dad), a cool T shirt, shorts and thongs (flip flops I think you blokes call them) Had the tranny (transistor radio) going pumping out some cool tunes What a life Paul

Challenge accepted Swishman, watch this place for the results Paul

Who remembers iron on transfers that we would iron onto T shirts back in the 70's and 80's My brother sent me this today Thats his T shirt that his wife saved from the rag bag many many years ago and had just had it framed for him How good were those days, life was so much simpler back then Looks like a Australian coolpower and its pulling a van which back in those days in Australia was extremely rare as every trailer was a flat top with tarps and just the front hurdle Then as years passed the rear hurdle was added and finally gates under the tarps up each side before taught liners came about and almost super seeded flat tops over night I think I just got my self side tracked then, most old age setting in lol Paul

Well after a long nervous wait and lots of balls up on my end it has finally arrived How good is this, 2021 all Kiwi Macks I did let everyone know that these and a Mack NewZealand book is been made but cant find the post now The fellas are making what I believe is gunna be one heck of a book of the first 1000 NewZealand built Macks and it will be released in 2022 to commemorate 50 years since Macks were made in NewZealand I also put a link etc up for that a few years ago and the limited 1000 books for 1000 Macks has long since sold out, so if you have bought one you will be as excited as I am about it all, if not well to late you've missed out lol Anyway as we say out here "I as happy as a fat kid in a lollie shop with a pocket full of change" Paul

This is a brand that I have never heard of before Some of them look quite stylish, others not so much Paul

No the inner portion wont come out There will be a fill line on the air cleaner base (at least cover the center section) and what ever engine oil you plan on using will be fine Paul

At a guess thats as far as you go Scrape all the dirt out of the oil can on the bottom Do not steam clean any of it as it will cook the dirt on the wire, just wash with petrol or as you lot call it gas Dont use water as it might then rust Anyway thats my thoughts Paul

Westinghouse are now Eaton brand, so that might be a place to start Paul

Mine are nothing like that at all and mine all look original So no help from me, I would if you can, take one out and it most likely has the manufacturers name and model number If you do, bung a photo up and we can take it from there Paul

It's hard to say, lots of people would oo and ah and say how much they would want it and so on but very few would put their hand in their pocket At a top I would say 25 grand and a low of maybe 10 grand Paul

Wonder what postage to Australia will be ? Paul

Looking good, it must be a huge head ache with the virus situation over there in trying to get anything done Luckily for us in Australia we have carried with by world standards very little disruption Paul

Thanks lads, guessing that seat option isnt very common then Miss Molly my border collie would enjoy that extra room Next question, looks like a rectangular speaker in front of the door trim between the two hinges Was this a Mack thing as well ? Paul

Thats one wild looking knee, looks like it needs a crash helmet on it LOL Never had any of these dramas so cant advise either way Paul

The passanger seat shape in the truck at the start of the thread, is that normal in Yanky land ? Paul

Good luck with that, bondo or bog as we call it out here is cheap so 5 gallons will be a good Chrissy present😆😆 Paul

Thats a lotta bling, small price to pay for ones freedom😏 Paul

Looks very well covered, do you wet the ground to stop blowing dust when spraying or do you have a better plan for dust control ? Paul
