Thanks,next time im in the US ill take you up on that👍

That is an amazing machine.id love to have a go at driving it.just goes to show what can be done with a few parts,tools and a good brain.... Paul

Excellent picture.you are rightly proud of that...B models are my new Mack interest after seeing that one in Holland.theyre so so cool.now i wonder if Mrs O'Brien would let me............ Paul.

We"ll wait for the pictures....enjoy Paul

Keep at it....the only way is up.has to be easier than grinding out rust,welding in bits grinding again..... Paul

Thats a cool B model.I never paid much attention to them untill I seen one in the flesh at the Mack show in Holland 2 weeks ago.Man they're as cool as ice.Real trucks..... Paul

I think you will enjoy it.i certainly did.I'd love to know what happened to all the film not used in the finnished movie.In the book it said 27 reels of film were shot but the finnished movie amounted to 3 reels...bound to be some great scenes on the unused reels... Paul

It never does go as quick as you hope...these old trucks are full of 5 minute jobs that take 5 hours🤣...still stick with it because the old iron is worth doing... Paul

Yeah Paul,it was a great show.Theres nothing like it in Ireland.We have one American show here mostly cars and pick ups.if we are lucky 5 or 6 trucks turn up but its still great to see them.this show was mind blowing,never seen so many vintage American trucks in one place before... Paul

Go for it Vlad.post all you want.i was trying to load more pictures but cant for some reason.Be great to see pictures from shows a few years back... Paul

Yes it is a tilt nose.im not an expert on B models and didnt kmow it was that rare.its a 1965 model.heres a few close ups. Paul

Hi all,my son and I went to the Mack show in the Netherlands last Sunday.Got cheap flights and hotel so off we went.It was a great show,the trucks were pure class.There were Petes,KWs,Autocar,White 3000s,White Freightliners and Mack B61s,MHs,R models and Cruiseliners.A great day and we met a lot of like minded truck nuts.Hope to make it next year with our Cruiseliner...... Paul

Hi all,well iv just finnished reading the Convoy book and i really really enjoyed it.Many thanks to Dan Bruno and Mike Siegel for taking the time to research and write it.I know what the movie means to my son and I.We bought our Cruiseliner because of the interest in American trucks this film infected us with.When,at 14years of age I saw that Cruiseliner in that movie that was it,I was getting one somehow somewhere sometime.It wasnt untill 2010 we saw one at a show here in Ireland and the dream of owning one,still simmering in my head became a rageing inferno.By this time my son was as big into American trucks as I was however at that time we couldnt afford one.As time went on the house and other bills were paid off but there was no Cruiseliner to be found.We almost bought a GMC Astro but passed on it because it had to be a Cruiseliner.Then out of the blue the Cruiseliner we had seen at the show came up for sale and we got it.I have struggled to put into words the insane love for a Cruiseliner but Dan Bruno put it perfectly on page 244 of the book when he wrote"experiencing the physical manifestation of ones dreams is among the most powerful human experiences"...well said Dan it explains it perfectly...... Paul

Thats a real good looking F model.I would love to have one too..... Paul

Never heard of this film.must have a look for it.if Jerry Reed is in it it should be good.Of course the trucks wiil keep me interested anyway.... Paul

Wow Vlad thats a beautiful truck..... Paul

Hi all,What can i say....sad news from your area theres nothing like a disaster to bring a community together.at the end if the day loved ones are all that really matters.Thoughts and Prayers to all from Ireland. Paul

Hi,Id say there were a number of different sleepers offered as options.maybe some of the guys who have a lot of pictures could post them and you could pick the nearest one to your memory.. Paul

Sorry for your loss.the tattoo should keep him close to you. Paul

To me looks like an "R' model Mack.same as Rubber Ducks in Convoy.some more expert could be a little more exact.hope this helps you. Paul

That would be great...the truckin world needs a Rubber Duck.🤣

Wow that a great record.some miles covered too.yard scrapes go with the job.I'v 6 years to go and then ill be able to sleep late like you...cant wait.you will get used to it.cant wait to see pics of your DM.....enjoy you deserve the rest after all those miles.

Hi all,i am sure you all have heard Kris Kristofferson passed away at the weekend.No more Rubber Duck.rest in peace Kris you gave me a lifetime of entertainment. Paul

Hope you guys are ok.just seeing on the news about your weather...nasty. Paul

Happy retirement and thanks for your help.49 years...how many miles is that gone under your butt? Enjoy......
