wobblin mate Im no expert I always by crap and fix it up that way I know whats been done and what hasnt and what short cuts I may or may not have taken but the problem I find when I see something that has being painted I dont know what it was like before Was it really that rough that it had to be painted to make it look good enough to sell And I guess the biggest thing is if I see something and the paint job is crap and things are bent and dented then if the people couldnt make the effort to get it neat and tidy before giving it a quick blow over then what does it say about the rest of there repairs ???? I always prefer to find something that is original in paint ect as I can see it in it's warts and all stage dosent mean I wont buy it if it's rough just means I have a better idea if what I am looking at good luck with it all Paul

A bit like a Kenworth hey Swishy mainly Cat I believe Paul

Part 2 now for some Aussie Leaders you should be able to see how close they looked at the start and then they changed a bit but it was still fairly easy to the Mack mold in there Now for some Leaders with set back front axle As you all can see I got a bit carried away with pictures sorry about that .I reckon I can still see the Mack truck in the sleeper part of the cab in some anyway If you have all seen these before please disregard if not I guess I might have taught you something Full credit to who ever took the photos to start with seeya Paul

Part 1 Now I dont know about grab handles but I think this bit of the cab is the main bit that is different did they make Mack F models with a set back front axle anywhere else in the world The people that owned Mack Australia at the time Westco also owned Leader Trucks that used a common mold with the Mack it later changed to a slightly different mold but they had the set back front axle as well some plastic cab Aussie Macks with out the long step hand rail pretty sure the long step hand rail doodah was only used on day cabs I reckon the red one might be a V8 with twin pipes cont

pretty sure they did

I'll take one of each I wonder which held up better with age ?????????? If I was a betting man I reckon it would be a pretty safe bet Paul

Im pretty sure you blokes over there wont have to worry about rust as I think that is a all Aussie fiber glass cab as well ???? Paul

alex I have no idea what Im looking at that looks like the top panel on the cowl to me have just sent murranji a PM as has changed these before and un like me he has a much better idea of what he is looking at so I will wait to see if he can shed some light on the situation for us or more to the point help to steer me in the right direction Paul

Have read a story about a bloke driving Diamond T road trains in the Northern Territory after WW2 the Diamond T's were LHD ex army tank transporters anyway this fella had a German Shepard dog sat up in the passenger seat and the driver drove along with a news paper with some holes poke through it to see he reckoned the cars were nearly running off the road with a road train driven by a dog it was one of these type of road trains the one on the bottom Paul talk about tacking it off topic I guess it's ok if I do it

Welcome mate Paul

welcome mate Im sure you will have fun Paul

only one catch you gotta come over here to get one

sounds like my rock knowledge is lacking quite a bit but as always I am learning all the time thanks for putting me right lads Paul

Alex do you think part circled in red is the part that goes under the part circled in blue I am after part number 38 I believe have got the cowl or the top part of the cowl the piece coming that is circled in blue any help appreciated thanks Paul

I guess one way of looking at is out here people had that type of power pulling road trains over god knows what to god knows were and they seemed to go ok so I reckon a tip truck would be more than fine Paul

top job looks great to me Paul

Welcome two silver Mack super liners steeling the show mate you dont have to be a kid to get hooked from that I reckon any person would struggle to fight the pull of that Paul

Israel is a place I have always wanted to go and have a look around but it always seems to have some sought of trouble going on or at least thats the way it looks on TV in Australia Paul

is this in a ship?????????? its fair size by the look of it or maybe the camera is up close ?? Paul

Thanks Paul

mate I have no idea what your asking might have to ask in a different way ???? Paul

blue metal is crushed gravel from blue stone metal is the generic name for gravel in Australia and New Zealand

Guy whats the Dead Sea works ?? you can tell I dont no much about the rest of the world Paul

I find the B doubles a lot easier to back than a dog trailer or a road train and much easier to back around a bend then in a straight line but Im no expert Paul
