  1. Every time I go through a toll booth in the Cruiseliner I have to get out to pay.Somebody put the steering wheel on the wrong side.........for over here🤣 Paul
  2. Thats great I'd be interested in how it turns out... Paul
  3. Lots of work done there.Did the axle just bolt up? The bull bar should look good.. great to see it coming together. Paul
  4. Thanks Vlad.I'll check if there is any in GB...There is none that I know of here in Ireland.... Paul
  5. I measured ours when you asked and thats what I got... Paul
  6. 40.5mm or 1in 19/32 is the size on our engine.... Paul
  7. Thats a bit away but if it does the job.... Paul
  8. Yeah I think they went to 285hp.... Paul
  9. Thats a very neat idea...not over costly too.. Paul
  10. Wow,what a beautiful Mack AC... I'd love to see one.There is none over here that I know of.... Paul
  11. The Volvo F88 had torsion bar tilt cab which worked very well on reasonably level ground...One I drove popped a water hose going down a steep hill.The repair required the cab to be tilted but when repaired I had a hell of a job to get the cab back down.At one point 6 guys were pulling and hanging out of it to no avail.In the end we had to winch it back down with a rachet strap.....Good old days when guys would stop to help Paul
  12. Yeah thats right....I have been told the TM was sold in austraila badged as a GMC.Dont know if thats true but I did see a picture from down under of a TM with GMC badges on it.Mrs Mack might be able to tell us more.... Paul
  13. Have to agree,American cabovers just look perfect.Love the square lines and the paint jobs.Europian trucks just look "soft" for want of a better word...The last euro truck that looked good was the Scamell Cruisader or the Bedford TM...both beautiful...Heres a TM..... Paul
  14. Guy not far from me done that with tractor wheels...filled them with clay and planted flowers in them...looks great. Paul
  15. Thanks for that Geoff,very interesting read.I have heard of the Low Flow system but never did any work on them.... Paul
  16. Have seen a couple of them here in Ireland but none Irish owned yet.Dont know if this is true but I'v been told they are not availible in right hand drive.They do look good.... Paul
  17. Yeah you and me both would love to have one.Theres a rumour going around that theres one over here in Ireland but I'v not been able to find it yet.Guess I'll keep looking for it... Paul
  18. Welcome to BMT Lee,I knew very little untill I joined up here.The guys here are among the best people Iv never met...but man they are so helpful.Id never be so far on with our Cruiseliner only for them...and bob does live in his own world but he keeps us all going🤣 Paul
  19. Ok Bob,you got this far just get her done!!! Iv a couple of weeks off now and we'll be really ramping up the work on the Cruiseliner.So far on our days off we have been putting in 12 to 14 hours a day...and Im not much younger than you...so come on bob get stuck in....🤣 Paul
  20. Wow that MH is fantastic.Please tell me someone saved it.... Paul
  21. Im very interested in this build.please keep us up to date with it.A bit of a side question but how rare is a tip turbine nowadays?I have never seen one but Im interested in how they run.. .... Paul
  22. Just watched Scarface again.Great movie.Theres a green Cruiseliner day cab truck and trailer hauling timber on a freeway in opening few minutes.Its at 08.16 on the clock.Like that movie even more now!!! Paul
  23. Thanks for that info.....but look what I found stamped on the axle inside the brake hubs...... Paul
  24. Many thanks for that info.18,000lb would seem to fit the build of this Cruiseliner.Would Meritor have made this axle or just supply after market parts? Paul
  25. Quoteing $1234 and then inviting offers is very common over here.It simply means the seller dont know the value and has a price in their head.It also feels out the market as what price something will make....kinda like an auction..... Paul
