Very nice, thank you for posting.

How many of those trucks were originally built in Australia?

Any imported from the States?

I believe that Mack have been Building trucks here in Australia Since 1963 ,so i would say all of the trucks would be Australian Built .

Ian I was down your way the other day should have knocked on the door and introduced myself mrs Mack would have had some Macks to play with lol

Paul

Paul , Quite welcome to drop in,Only a couple of Ks off the highway Plenty of things on tracks to look at while your here .Couple of Macks live here to.

Not Hard to see , that he is a Mack man , and has a lot of Mates that love their Macks .

Some Crawlers ,

Yes , the Blue superliner was cummins powered .

The Atkinson is V8 GM powered .

Our D68U .

Mack Australia is doing a limited edition run of Titans to celebrate 50th annaverary of mack trucks being built in Australia .

The photo is of Carter Brothers from Bundaberg,It is a Diamond T ,with a D8 on the back of it .

Thanks Other Dog for turning the photo .I thought i had turned it ,but it must not have worked ..

This one may interest you Scrubpuller , Not the best quality ,see if you know of it .

Hi Scrubpuller ,Asked a mate today ,He reckoned a Single drive B model was 12200 pound back then .He reckons a mate of his bought a boggie drive flitstone in 73 and paid $35000 for it .

Hi Scrubpuller , I have a book from back in the day ,that possibly had prices in it .I will see if i can find it .

tell me more about that R-model pickup

Mate , All I can tell you is there is a collector here with a big cheque book ..He has Bought and restored trucks he has bought here in Australia .But there is a lot of models that never came to Auistralia .I guess the R model pickup caught his eye on a buying visit .I have put up photos here of some of his trucks at previous shows .

One I saw here in OZ on the weekend .

If you guys have a bit of time up your Sleeves , Have a read of this thread from HEF ,On how things can go very wrong .

Still a few more from the same show .

Couple more from the same show .

Another show , but this time more Macks

Trucks where few and far between. But this B Model was the only and only Mack at the show .

The Australian Army have 6 wheel Drive Macks . Got the Old look about them .Maybe an option .
