    I have ridden around in the 871 when they shifted gear for me 30 years ago The tipper was always zooming about have been up close and personal with it plenty of times I have seen photos of both of these on the internet so with some time and searching I could probably track them down Paul

    A fella by the name of Trevor Ralls from Trafalgar Victoria Australia had a B61 tipper with a 671 and a B something with the aluminium cast radiator with a 871 on float work Both fitted with standard bonnets and both still had the quad box Paul

    In line 671 fits in a B model, doubt a 6110 would as they are bigger again Paul

    Watched this the other day and yes ot confirms a lot of people are full of crap when they say about what they have seen Along the lines of, I new a bloke that had this happen or that happen as a result of in this case twisted straps A Australian 4x4 internet channel tested steel cable, nylon rope and chain to see which was safer The chain turned out been the safest by a long way The dayton rims and split rims that we read so much about and the so called horror stories associated with those I feel are the same, just stories Paul

    I wonder why Mack never mounted the heater like that to begin with ? Great job Paul

    Dunno about a gasket but I wouldn't of thought there would be one The dowls I would imagine would be all machined to a precise measurements in the factory and should be interchangeable Thats my thoughts Paul

    Everything said above Well done on not doing any damage The cab looks ridiculously small with out the rest of it attached, I guess it was all they had back in the day and no one new any different Paul

    You can get 10.00 x 20 radial tyres, they just wont be tubeless So most of the bias ply problems are eliminated except for the extra flat tyres Paul

    Pretty easy to see why the idea never took off, you would be hard pressed to to find drivers There was one in Australia, maybe more than one for all I know, guessing every country probably had a crack at building them https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/366832332128901795/ Paul

    Russia copied all sorts of things from trucks to D7 Caterpillars to DC 3 aeroplanes to even the SuperFortress B 29 If anyone is interested the Russian B29 story is a fascinating story the history channel made a movie on it, Steeling the SuperFortress Dunno if the link will work or not https://youtu.be/i3Tst3cm_A0 I guess all sides of the political world stole ideas and claimed them as their own It is no surprise that the Burma Dodge was copied as the majority would of been in Russian hands at the end of WWII Paul

    Looking good So the pin striping on the Freightliner, was it painted or stuck on vinyl ? Lot of these jokers on here wouldn't mind seeing that either, so dont be shy to share pictures of the Freightliner as well Paul
  21. mrsmackpaul
    Just to be clear, you have spokes and want to go to ten stud rims ? or the otherway around ? I cant be of any assistance but the more information you can provide the better the chance of a good result Paul
