Dunno that either of those are readily available

I have never seen a service book

Wiring diagrams I have seen but they aren't exactly correct, there was like 4 or 5 different diagrams to cover all R models

Sounds good to my untrained ears

It is amazing at just how loud things can when no turbo is fitted and I guess it should be no surprise just how deaf a lot of people are as they get older 

A muffler might a good idea of some description in the future, then again once driving about with the windows up at speed it might be quite bearable as your moving pretty quick away from the noise

I got the right rears off,cleaning the hub facings.Is ok to use any lube or anti seize to make things go on smoother,esp the spacer.Thanks.

Make sure they are nice and clean and free of dirty and grease etc, keep them square and slid them on even

They should be a reasonably neat fit as the spacer holds the inner dual on while you lift the outer on if that makes sense

12 is better than none of covid days, Glad it all went well for the big day 

To be honest I had to really read the leaflet to see that vintage trucks were allowed 

Paul

First things first, theres a big difference between split rims and dayton or spoked hubs

The rims the outside piece, even if they are split types of rims you would have more chance of winning the lotto than anything happening while dropping the rim off 

Key board warriors have done so much damage with all their drama and carry on 

You probably have chance of dropping it on your foot or the truck slipping of the jack or stands 

They are no were near as dangerous as people make out are used the world over even today

Oh boy you have no idea how the rest of the world see's America 😐

If you have spoke type wheels,  just buy the rim, even 10 stud I  believe tubeless steel rims are readily available to suit as well

Last time I looked into buying tubed or tubless with a rim it was only $30.00 more to buy a new rim compared to buying a new tube, rust band and tyre, it really was to me a no brainer and the best thing I have done tyre wise, makes the truck so much more reliable and drive so much better 

Paul 

I would upgrade to tubeless without even questioning it

The benefits far out way any negitives, I cabt even think of a negitive

if I was only 40 yrs younger. the LTSW has to be one of the best looking Macks  of the time period. second cousin to the B-73/75  for a road truck .

I reckon that with out a doubt they were the best looking Macks ever made by a long way, R model is probably the second best looking and the series 1 Superliner 3rd 

Just my opinion 

Paul

I'm of no help here at all sorry, I'm sure someone will chime in soon enough 

Paul 

So this has a wooden floor or is the wood for a template  ?

Paul

Thats a result, on wards and upwards

Paul 

Have a CRACKER OF A DAY young fella 

Paul

It's really coming together now, looking really sweet 

Paul 

Dunno you blokes seem to be getting caught up in details and missing the big picture

All I know is after a quick Google Australia is ranked 8th in the world for life expectancy and we have free medical, read what you like into that

Apparently our average tax rate is 45%

The U.S. is 37%

NewZealand is 39% but has free medical like Australia 

Pretty sure Canda has free medical and has a tax rate of 33%

So there's no right answer, as a radio interview I heard today was saying "to live in Australia is like winning the lotto so get out there and make the most of it"

Paul 

Hope it all goes well for you

Paul 

Thats even odder, 24 mm is virtually the same size as 15/16

23 mm is just a little bit bigger than 7/8

Paul 

Well done, I bet that was a special feeling money cant buy 

Gotta proud of the achievement

This is some really interesting stuff. Sad thing is it's way easier to find info about his affairs or what ever other retarded stuff the media puts out there. I never knew 90 percent of what I've read in this thread. 

Funny that I know very little about his affairs, but more this type of stuff and Im not a American 

Do they even teach this type of stuff in the States ?
