    I dont know where they can be got.They are as scarce as a back tooth for a hen...Thats my biggest fear where to get a windscreen for our Cruiseliner should we need it.If you do find a supplier let us know... Paul

    Just a few more pictures of the brake valves/pipes cleaned and refitted.We ran into a bit of a problem removing the little window in the sleeper.When we removed the interior trim we realised the cab is fiberglass not aluminum....The roof sleeper sides and rear are all fiberglass.We had a guy ready to weld in new aluminum but now.......we dont know anyone who works with fiberglass and are not sure how to fill that hole!!!!!.

    Hi all,just another update.We have been working hard on the Cruiseliner but ran into a bit of a problem.The guys who painted the truck red painted everything.We had a hell of a job removing the paint from the brake pipes/ valves and other frame fittings.This was long hard work.We dont know what paint was used but paint stripper didnt work much.We then thought about putting new pipes on but can only get metric pipes fittings ect which wont fit the valves so cleaning scraping and sanding was our only option.Progress was painfully slow...We are now about 10 days behind were we thought we'd be.Anyway back to work!!!...

    That Darr would make a very interesting and ultra rare truck on the show scene Geoff.What engine/transmission does it have? I like the B model mack too but with no title it cannot be imported to Ireland...Pity... Paul

    I dont know how its done in the US but in Ireland 20 to 30 years old is considered " Classic vehicle" and 30 years old on is considered "Vintage vehicle". So its a classic with me!!!! Looks fantastic after the clean up.... Paul

    I was about 800 meters underground on a 12 hour shift running a loading shovel.It was around 2pm in Ireland when that awful day in New York started.We didnt come up to surface untill 8pm so we were possibly the last people in Ireland to hear about it.My daughter's birthday is the 11th of September and when I got home from work her party was just coming to an end.Her friends were being collected from our house by their folks who were all in tears.I just looked at my wife and kids and said what the f?€k is going on in the world...We visited Ground Zero a few years later to pay our respects....

    Welcome to BMT.Cool Mack/Renault.It appears to be in great shape.There were lots of them over here in Ireland back in the day.Had a great name for being a great truck.Love the RV idea.Best of luck wth it... Paul

    Id take both of them if I lived in the US.The cost of shipping then importing them would be the killer...Id love a H model..... Paul

    Yeah I think I know every inch of that frame by now...That colour is a coloured primer.The guy in the paint store said white or gray primer could change the shade of the top coat.He said Plum is a hateful colour to get right......I said thanks a packet mate..... Paul
