Sadly Joey our Australian language is slowly going and becoming more worldly Probably the same for many parts of the world We would of used Bonza, Beauty or Ripper not so long ago To be a Ocker Aussie as we were once called was according to Wikipedia "Ocker" refers to an uncultivated, boorish, or aggressively casual Australian man, often characterized by a thick accent (Strine), love for beer, and laid-back attitude. It describes someone who is stereotypical in their "Aussieness," often associated with being loud, friendly, and unrefined, originating from a 1960s TV character. What ever that means Paul

Plenty of people replace the check valves and call it good and 18 months later the problem reappears If you have leak in the return to tank line, it only takes a check valve to not fully seat once and bingo, the problem returns The return to tank side is just as important as the delivery side of things I have had people on the forum give me a really hard time for saying things like this, I guess because they don't want to understand and can't be taught from a Skippy the bus kangaroo from down under Paul

Good job Swishman, I have been having to reduce the file size of photos since I got this new phone other wise it comes up with some era Paul

The roof vent is all different and a lot of the Mack cabs had two little bent up cowl/air deflectors between the clearance lights in the center of the cab I'm guessing there's a few more modifications than we know about to the Mack cab A bit more on how the orange Brockway ended up out here The Story of ‘Bruiser’ the Brockway — Truckin with Kermie https://share.google/bnXNm6znGpwd71Y1d Paul

Well this spring time is about to get real for you Bob Look out world, he is gloved up ha ha ha ha Paul

Swishman I saw your truck float and R model but no Swishman was spotted Still getting the bucket of bolts back together You know those jobs that we put off because they are gunna be a fair bastard of a job and don't turn out that way Well this job I thought was gunna be a mongrel and only got worse Anyway, my boy has just had enough of me lol The exhaust is finally heading skywards again, just Paul Paul

Mack still had them new on the shelf last time I checked Paul

When wandering about the Mack Muster yesterday I found my mind wandering about and dreaming of a truck like this I would imagine it would be worth considerably more than the 6 grand offered if it was running and driving about I wonder if someone close go by can get it running without to much drama, a lot greater chance of it surviving off into the future if it runs and drives Paul

Brocky I was stunned to observe that Brockway cab, although at first gland is a R model Mack cab, it really is very different The cowls different, the roof is different and the list of things I noticed different in a few minutes was quite a bit Sure is a good looking truck and thanks for the photo above Paul

When I was visiting Tim and family in Connticuit there was a place maybe half a dozen houses up the street that had hundreds of tonka type of toys in a tree in the front yard, no idea why they were there,I asked Tim about it and he didn't seem to know either Good job Joey Yellow is always pretty hard to get to cover properly as is red Now to get it into the sand pit Paul

I'm guessing, well over a 100 Macks The E9 tank motor sounded pretty good They, the company there, have a line of the motors, all less than 400 hours from the tanks They have a conversion kit to reposition the turbos so it fits into a Australian Superliner Would make quite a impressive truck, 750 hp under the bonnet Dunno how the Maxitorque box would handle the extra power, even with E9 turned up the 12 speed boxes struggled a bit on roadtrain work Paul

And, well, Mrs Mack is still on blocks and things are moving along but not quick enough for the big event Paul

A Yanky Brockway in Australia

The E9 V8 that was in the Fench tanks, 750 ho quad turbo starts first piston to the top, brrrrrrm

We'll the not so famous Mrs Mack is still not there yet However, the boy and I went for a looksee today

Paul

Hello spring time

Hoping it all goes through okay for you 🤞 Paul

This one ? The other end is of the shaft is off and sitting on the chassis rail Paul

If your serious about flying someone out from Australia to paint your truck send me a message and we can discuss it further Paul

My mate Mal painted my Mack He is a award winning spray painter, he is really good If you flew him and his wife to the States and put them up, I'm sure he would paint your truck Paul

Dunno about the valves and the amount of oil Joey or Geoff will know, I just set the valves and send it, yeah I'm not super anal Paul

Well if it was in Australia I would be there right now peeling 100 dollar notes off What a cracker of truck, should sell really easy Paul
