Thanks for that I will get hold of Mack today and see how I go

Ok lads not have much of a response here so I will stick up some picks of what I am chasing see if it can get anyones grey matter working for me ok on this first one I am after the front and back drip rail or gutter I have the two for each side and the roof I can see 60 in the picture but I reckon that is pointing to the back wall of the cab not the drip rail so I guess I am after some part numbers for the back and front drip rail now in these next two after part number for 27 in the bottom picture now the fella in the spare parts department wasnt sure if 38 in the top picture was the same as 27 in the bottom picture Also is 1 in the bottom picture the drip rail I didnt think so but the parts fella wasnt sure I reckon it belongs on the top of the window frame anyway any help or pointers you all could give and some proper Mack part numbers so I can order parts would be appreciated thanks fellas Paul

yes a few years ago cost over 150 lives them greenie tree hugger types after WW2 when we then had the gear big dozers ect there was fire breaks put in that the astronauts could see from space after big bush fires in the 30's we had huge fuel reduction burns every year right up until the early 80's then them dam greenies said no more and I reckon it was 83 when we ash Wednesday we lost 80 odd lives we thought we would never see that again but 30 years a lot of people forget just how bad things were greens have more power than ever the fires are getting bigger and floods are getting bigger The greens blame global warming I say BULL SHIT if you dont have them big fire breaks whats to stop the fire if the logger's arent allowed into get timber anymore whos gunna maintain the roads not the bloody government theres no votes in that and as for floods if you take all the water off the farmers so the dams stay full for people to water ski and sail boats it stands to reason that your gunna have huge floods like we did before the dams were built as theres no were for the water to go and if you dont maintain the flood banks or levies as I think you blokes call them it only stands to reason we will have big floods more excuses for them greenies and it only floods farmers and theres not enough of them to change the votes anymore anyway who needs farmers we will just import the food yeah right thats gunna work well but what would I no Im just a dumb ass farmer sorry about the rant but we need a government with balls and it really makes my blood boil that this great country is been squandered away and those damb fools at the top say we cant just change we cant afford to if they wanna know how have a look at history our greatest time of wealth the 50's and 60's we just had a big war WW1 then the depression then WW2 which we couldnt really afford how did we do it pretty simple we made it happen we worked together as a country and we were world leaders in just about every thing and we paid our dept off as well if I dont say something I guess Im part of the problem Rant over I'll shut up and let it get back on topic Paul
