    all very interesting its amazing the job these did and the speed they traveled the most amazing thing is the amount of fuel they used I read some where once at full speed they only had enough fuel for 1 hour and there tanks were like 6000 gallons dont quote me on these figures but it was a bucket load fuel real quick Just the thing to use to go fishing Paul

    I had this picture in a magazine as you can see the magazine put it on a angle and put it over two pages but I have a teenage son who sorted it for me because I had no hope LOL still not real sure on what he done but here is the picture Im sure someone with photoshop can make it even better OH yeah NR Mack Bedford cab at Wollongong but still in the same state NSW as the first one but 700 km south the first one was built at Grafton NSW so I dunno seems like a common modification Paul

    Tim the thing a lot of people I dont think under stand is how heavy Australian hard wood is as well Aussie hard wood doesnt float chuck it in the water and it sinks if its Red gum or Box Iron Bark it will sink in seconds so there is quite a lot of weight there We could never float logs like they do in north America on the rivers etc It seems a few of these NR Bedford cabbed Macks were made and this one was made in Grafton NSW I'll pass on any more details as they come to hand seeya Paul
