  1. My new to me triaxle tipper finally arrived from QLD after waiting 6 or more weeks Would normally collect myself but Covid is making things more challenging McGrath chassis tipper, I had been searching for one for some time now
  2. Whats high traction mean ?
  3. Maybe the market wasnt there Maybe trailer length, is the B cab shorter I think it would be more than just styling Paul
  4. That would be a yes to driving it like a 5 speed Or at the very least a six speed Will have to give it plenty of time for the revs to drop off but is quite doable Paul
  5. I was speaking to my brother about those Ultraliner's a few months back A very unusual truck for sure, was the step in the chassis that I have read about pressed in or was it joined Really interesting stuff Paul
  6. Topo is yours worm or double reduction ? Mine is double reduction and the ratio is 10.22 I have some 5.68 ? Rockwell from a Rockwell back end I bought some time ago that apparently will fit the Timken backend, dunno if this is true or not but will find out in the future Paul
  7. Yes that's the one So does anyone know where to get bushes etc for these ? Paul
  8. As said, what a CRACKER OF A DAY A great tirn out and no doubt a fun time had by all Paul
  9. So no leads on a company that still sells bushes etc for these Timken backends ? Maybe some photos will jolt someones grey matter ?
  10. I know some on here have said that before, I must be missing something as I dont really notice any difference in the look That said we all have our own likes and dislikes so Im not judging at all, just a observation Paul
  11. This came across Facebook the other day, might interest someone, maybe not My questions are about the assend in it, 8 rod Timken Does anyone knows who supplies parts them as I have one of my older trucks that has this style of ass end and had no luck chasing bushes etc years ago so it just sits about doing stuff https://www.facebook.com/groups/567298153355348/permalink/3336201306465005/?sale_post_id=3336201306465005 Paul
  12. Sounds like a good start for a project Paul
  13. Well there you go, bet those are some words you never thought you would say or in this case type I'll be watching this space to see what you learn about it Paul
  14. I have never seen a screamer with out the flap Wonder if we only got screamers with the flaps in Australia, I wouldn't think so as they are sort of well known for their ability to run away Paul
  15. That Dodge is looking as flash as Great photos, thanks for sharing Paul
  16. Sorry Joe your wife and you are a tad bit off Nobody has been arrested for protesting the government in Australia and I think you will find almost all independent countries have established their own governments and made their own laws, they weren't simply given to them as you put it Yes by law you must vote in Australia and you will be fined if you dont You can cast a donkey vote (write whom ever you want on the ballot paper here as well) That donkey vote gets counted and goes to who ever wins Voting is very important as the right to vote by all Australians of voting age was a very hard fought for privilege I am surprised Australian politics even makes into the U.S. media Paul
  17. Thats bugger all oil use in the grand scheme of things Yes it's some but not bad Paul
  18. Almost correct, we are also governed by the rule of law And that law is our own lawn written by us for us, not by the Queen or the King Paul
  19. Dont take this the wrong way, I cant imagine anyone in Australia doing that, we take politics very seriously but in a very different way than the US We may even take it a fare bit more seriously than America Well it's not long now until your President knows his fate in politics Paul
  20. I did have Tapatalk on the old phone and got it just for the forum Honestly I couldn't tell the difference When I say old phone, this is my first phone and it was smarter than me so I bought a cheap simple phone for me to learn how to use a phone I found it as frustrating as all get out at first but over a few years I learnt more about it and it has prettty much replaced the lap top Paul
  21. So do people get paid to tow trailers about for the election or are they just passionate about it ? Please excuse my naivety but US elections to the rest of the world are very different Paul
  22. Just drive it home the longway Thru Canada, Alaska, Russia then across Europe and the Channel Batta Bing Batta Boom, simples and one heck if a adventure to boot Say Gudday to Vlad on the way Paul
  23. Not a lot more that I can add here Some times quality is more important than quantity Paul and some photos that are freshly flogged from the interweb for alex g
