    hi, will check tranny today. i think it may have a spacer and be a bolt like Jook said, will confirm. the other truck has the pto bolted to engine balancer at front of truck. it was a water truck. regards Grant

    i may have one down under, but postage may kill it? is an 18speed quad the same for pto fitment? this one was used for a side tipper, so would imagine is heavy duty? regards Grant

    Hi all, i carry spare alternator, oil, all tools to rebuild,belts, hoses, water,colt 45, chain, drag link so if it poops its selfs in a big way another road train can pull it into the next town, mozzie repellant doesnt work to well out here besides we gotta watch out for snakes, spiders etc when we go to the dunny on the side of the road, then you have march flys, blow flys ants, lizards wild pigs,crocodiles rite up north so you have plenty of incentive to get that truck moving again, then you got the heat a dry 50 degree c sometimes. its all fun tho. :rolleyes regards Grant

    Hello, the axle just looks like a normal style axle the nuber is fa532 and the bush in the stub axle is about 1/4 inch thick. regards Grant

    Hello, sorry for the suspense, went to Broome i a triple in a yucky aerodyne. i got no idea why there is so many of them monkey trucks on the road. the panels are new old stock mack i think? they are thru paganelli trucks here in perth, they aint cheap, 1000.00 bucks for steel roof panel, and 2000.00 to do all gutters around roof, am going there in next couple of days to see how big gutter panels are. Grant

    Hello, will do thankyou. i found someone yesterday that has plenty of knowledge, have got some king pins sorted, i think?? will get them next wednesday when get back, as i am going up north tonite in a horrible kenworth. regards Grant

    Hello, i posted chassis number above, its to old for the spare parts boys, they are almost straight out of school. and no id #s on front of axle, it only has casting numbers. the other two trucks do have these numbers tho. Gleemans were great to deal with, they put me onto a group in perth who can help. may have found replcement roof skins to., will know more tomorrow. and they know what a microfish is, so i dare say i am in luck.

    Hello, thats a neat looking B. where in OZ are you? regards Grant
  22. ducky698
    I spoke to them today, they have no info on sizes, i even asked him if he wanted the part number off the stub axle, the biggest problem is the age of the truck, there computers dont date back that far, so its to hard for them to go look at the fish, most dont even know what that is regards Grant
  23. ducky698
    does any body know how to tell what front axle is in a truck? the parts guys keep asking me for an axle part number and they say its a stamped number, this one has only 2 digits 11 thats it, the rest are casting numbers, they then ask me for a chassis number, I give them that 6/75 FR797 RS1057 gvm 56000lbs there is no other info on ID plate, no engine size or anything I need to replace the king pins and convert to ten stud wich keeps the origonal drum, I have tried both truckline stores here in perth and Mack, and another Mack specialist. is it really that hard? cars are much easier to work on.

    i have been told of people getting 500hp out of these old 864,865,866 engines, how? regards Grant
  25. ducky698
    nice color, a chevy orange engine and powder coated silver tappet covers etc would look pretty cool. along with braided lines through out. good luck with it. regards Grant
