  1. Id say your right Bob...We want them because theyre the mudflaps on Pig Pens Cruiseliner... Paul
  2. Yeah freight charges are gone mad.We were quoted 450$ to ship two Mack mudflaps from the US to here.The flaps were only 60$.....crazy stuff Paul
  3. Yeah she was built for heavy haul operations.I was told Mack designed it for up to 300,000 lbs.Dont know how true that is but I do know her first job was hauling 200,000 lb beams for a motorway (freeway in the US) bridge project in the UK.... Paul
  4. 82 Cruiseliner with 1200/24 tyres.It was plated for 160,000 lb in the UK... Paul
  5. Many thanks for the info guys,I knew you guys would have the answer.We would be lost only for this site.Does anyone know what weight the axle is rated for? I do know its heavy duty but would love to know it's design load.... Paul
  6. Just repairing the rad,small weep from bottom corner,refitting alternator,front wheel seals,stripped the chassis for painting,painting engine,and if we have time painting the cab...Got a corner of a shop for 8 weeks so we are flat out trying to get all done....I cant afford to even think about being tired Bob.... Paul
  7. Hi all,we are trying to identify our front axle.We dont know what weight its rated for or what toqure the wheel bearing nut are.any help would be great.The pics show the only numbers we can find on the axle.Thanks for reading.. Paul
  8. You could be right about the engine being doctored up Mark.I feel bad for Nathen after all the work he put into it.Yes Macks are very very uncommon over here.Nathen's is the last Cruiseliner in the UK and ours is the only Cruiseliner to have ever been regestered in Ireland...I only know of 5 other Macks in Ireland...3 F models,1 R model and a gas powered 50s stake truck not sure of the model as Iv never seen it.Theres rumour of an MH lurking around the country but its unconfirmed as of now....I hope Nathen gets sorted soon...... Paul
  9. Nathan has had really bad luck with his Cruiseliner.I was talking to him during the week.He worked so hard to bring his truck back to life.Sometimes old iron can bite you hard.Clearly she suffered a loss of oil pressure but why?.... Paul
  10. Go have some fun bob....hope you all enjoy the 4th.America day!!!. Then get busy with the DM....Im up to my neck in our Cruisliner... Paul
  11. A hell of a lot of money but its a hell of a truck....as Paul said if its what you want then go for it.... Paul

  19. Love it...and your spot on let the Soccer Moms beat that beauty in their Volvo station wagons🤣 Paul
  20. REAL NICE...Your living my dream...Class collection of trucks... Paul
  21. I remember reading in some of the books I got on the early days of trucking from Europe to the Middle East that there were no diners or cafes on the routes.Drivers lived on cans of ground beef baked beans and instant potato after leaving Turkey untill they returned to Turkey....So I decided to try it.It was delicous.It is now a regular on my menu....How did we get from alternators to this???? Paul
  22. Hear you load and clear...so why dont you eat fried steak eggs or chicken????We are not here for a long time so lets have a good time...I honestly dont know how anybody eats cottage cheese........... Paul
  23. Love all you said there...but the maple syrup and bacon pancakes sound the best part of it......dont mind the body we'll be finnished with it someday🤣 Paul
  24. Only came across this thread today and Im blown away with it...Thanks Paul...To me those 30s/40s/50s trucks look better than todays plastic toys.Some have hardly any paint left on them never mind chrome...hell they have hardly any brakes left never mind the chrome🤣🤣🤣 Most enjoyable thread... Paul
