Thanks fellas I didnt no that the states of canada made RHD trucks I wouldnt have thought there would be any call for them but it shows how little we know about what went on back in the day Steve it's amazing the conditions which we worked trucks under even as late as 70's and 80's things have improved a lot in the last 30 years or should I say roads have improved a lot it dosnt surprise me these scoops blocked back in the day here in Australia as I dont think anywhere else in the world had conditions like here Mick in the book on Dales those R 700,s are in there good read that book you blokes will have to get some one to stick a copy under the chrissy tree for you Paul

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=902769693096380&fref=nf I gotta laugh Paul

I was just wondering Mick because I had never seen or heard of the R models with a bonnet scoop I was just trying to educate my self most likely a waste of time these days Paul

Welcome aboard Josh gotta say the R model is a lot more driver friendly than the B model good luck with what ever you get Paul

donkey dick you wish good onya tripod

SWISHY YOUVE DONE IT AGAIN IT CANT OF BEEN ME I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH

UM whats double hump isnt it something out of a doctor suess book ?

better watch little bits getting caught in between big bits ouch !!!

Ive used PAI in the gear box never had a problem Paul

I hope it all works for you good luck sounds like you have jumped in boots and all so to speak only advice I can offer is money is easy to spend and hard to get but Im guessing you already know that and should have bought an R model Mack with a Maxidyne cheap to buy and cheap to run but its to late now Paul

WOW they come in all the colours of the rainbow

I dunno what you blokes are complaining about put some more clothes on or work harder Mate if I keep on taking clothes off on a hot day to stay cool the police are called you lot have it soooo easy Paul

OK all I thought I better add some pictures of these Kiwi R models that I was talking about the thing that I found unusual was that I always thought or should I say assumed that Kiwi Macks would have come from Mack Australia but having never seen any R models with bonnet scoops in Australia I thought I would ask the question which only Mick replied and not saying he is wrong but I cant imagine they would import into Kiwi land from the states when just across the ditch they make RHD Macks as big as you want and also I was under the impression from reading through posts here that only Aussie R models had the four headlights I could have all of this wrong and most likely have anyway hope you all enjoy the pictures ok these first two pictures are from the book "Heavy Haulage by Dales" top read that book I have read the print off it my type off book more pictures than words bottom picture stolen from the road ranger blog I put a link up else were the other day Trev the blog man says its ok to use any of his pics as long as we give him credit done deal interesting Blog thingo to look at

fantastic to keep our records if only just to look back and see how much has changed I remember and laugh at myself about when the Princess and I bought our first farm $180,000.00 man I lost sleep over such a huge amount of money and debt we took on 25 years you have gotta be pretty chuffed about that I know I would be thanks for sharing Paul
