A fantastic story, I love this type of stuff People doing what others consider unusual and uts great fun as well Thanks for sharing Paul

Yes the picture posting problem has never been fixed has it It makes it very frustrating, however thru a third party I can post picks across Or perhaps evena fresh box of parts that turned up today for Mrs Mack from the US Red dot aircon for under the dash I hope Will be a shame to cut it up to make RHD but needs must Im not home to see so Im only guessing thats what it as I got a call from UPS un Sydney asking me to tariffs and the GST ( tax) on Friday So bare with the picture posting problem as there can be a way around it Someone on here put me onto Postimage.com Seems to work fine Paul

Thank you Vlad That is exactly what I am chasing Paul

I hope celebration style

I was watching a short clip from the 70's at a guess were a F model was a movie star for a bit and it ended up in a yard full of F model's I have no idea what the movie was called but at a guess it was Dutch Great event Vlad, thanks for sharing Paul

I like most other people in this wide brown land that I come across find the US politics as fumny as all get out I got a real chuckle out of that sticker the other day when I first saw it I reckon it would be as funny as to stick it on the back of a ute or even a old F truck and cruise some of streets in some suburbs of Melbourne Just to take the piss out of the over opinionated leftards lol Paul

Looks like a proud lad Great stuff Paul

I reckon the last one is the closest to what is in my head Ta muchly Swish man

Or was thst 200 years in 76 or 77 ? ? Dunno, my US history isnt real flash Paul

I maybe getting confused here and I maybe thinking of 1976 ?? Mack had a different red white and blue back ground Have tried Googling it but all Google comes up with is 400 years of African American slaves I cant blame Google as it wasn't around 76 and it might not of beeb 76 anyway Paul

I let you know how that goes seed Paul

Done deal Swish man And thanks Paul They had a logo a little different as well Im trying to find the picture of it It was on some of the roof spoilers on Macks in Australia bavk in the day Paul

Yes it would be very classy David So anyone got any ideas They had some interesting different logos that I can think of back then So any input welcomed Paul

I am getting new seats for Mrs Mack and am splurging far more than I should so figure if Im gunna get strung up for spending with out seaking permission I might as well make it worth my while In for a penny in for a pound so to speak So the seats Im getting come in two fabulous colour choices, black or black I have asked about getting them retrimed in a colour better matching the interior of Mrs Mack and was going to have vinyl surrounds and cloth inserts Was thinking about getting the period correct Mack logo embroidered into the back rest Mrs Mack is 1980 ish ? Depends which plate you read it off So my question is, what logo was correct for 1980 ??? Havent settled on just a dog as thats pretty common and Mrs Mack is anything but common Thanks in advance Paul

No smoke out the exhaust means no fuel I reckon iys something very simple Like the sleave on the stop cable has shifted in its clamp and now the arm cant fully return Or maybe the bolt and clip or what ever it has on the wire or cable has slipped or is catching on something not allowing it to return

Injector pump cut off soleniod if it has one might be cooked Paul

If its diesel I would start with making sure that the injector pump fuel cut off arm is fully swung back around into the running position The can catch on the housing Paul

Thanks for that Mack Muster in March and off to Alice Springs next year for 20 th reunion so thought I best glam up the seats a bit Paul

Anyone have a part number for these Never know what we might have in Australia Paul

On Facebook at the moment there is a B model that has been done up Has classy looking seats with dogs embossed on the back rest Anybody know what these would have come out of ? Paul

I like others find it interesting that a country like the Soviet union could operate with such restrictions We complain about the restrictions we have in Australia but I think we are very spoilt and we just dont know it Paul

Fantastic story Vlad You journey a long way for your toys like me Last trip I did was over 5000km round trip for a trailer I had been searching for for decade's The things we do for our hobbies Paul

I never new this, I have never ever locked my truck and have never thought to Paul

I have used a crow bar on jaws to pop them open on grease plates (fifth wheels) that have been a trailer sitting for decades If you hold the handle out with a chain block or come along, so the fifth wheel cant relock and then as said, apply the trailer brakes and work it back woulds and forwards it will no doubt release pretty easily Paul
