Wow! Found out gumtree access is blocked for my neck of the woods. Ok, if so I'm off of the seriouse buyers

Were any free shipping options over the globe pointed out?

That's a really cool story about Nairn transportation described in that article. I just didn't note the link originally. And now had it read with lot of pleasure. Cool there's a complete history of the entertainment.

I stockpiled the pics from the thread at the time. Unfortunately no text. Absolutely amazing stuff. And the deal it was used in.

Nope. No elephant ears there. They became with a L-model I guess. You can see them on NR's definitely but those FKSW's and other pre-1940 tandems were different. I should look for a picture and post. Need a bit of time for.

Oh, Tom, now I see you are really improved as was being able to go to Winfall bazzar trying to trade in potatoes to that farmer chick. I honestly got worried hard when strated reading this thread and was going to advice (even prescribe) you to not watch TV with Toyota's and razors but only read BTM and maybe some old archived JOT threads as an option. But now I got cheered up (those potatoes on the last pic so good make mooth water really). BTW many thanks for the Macungie photo album! I've got so many random affairs in the recent times so couldn't seat chillfully on a sofa and enjoy watching it full front to end.

Happy 4th of July USA!

Doesn't look brand new indeed. But that's a G-model, a rare animal, and someone may fix it if really wants. The cab is alu so no extremal rust I belive. Additional thanks for attaching the pic. I still have no access to Facebook.

You may need to build a bridge of wooden planks around the roof to spray it. Even may need to rent a set of construction stuff folks use when work over high walls. When a guy painted a cab for me in his garage he put four empty barrels around it and layed planks on them to dance with a spray gun. And the cab was off a truck, not on a chassis. But put on a small trailer I towed by my car. So a bit higher off the floor than just a R-model cab higth.

So isn't that high enough for the house to survive in a flooding now? Thanks for the story Paul mate. Just found the thread and could see live scenes from your brown land. And the job's well done!

He had to sell two of his trucks due to some troubles with his town as I remember. So may be off thuck related stuff at all. Sending PM to him does worth the time spent I guess.

Very good if so. But if they cut the rails behind the cab and welded a section with the bogie off another truck that would be seen as a different story.

Looking the axle flange bolt patterns it doesn't seem so. More looks like a standard 4WD bogie. Looks like a Mack bogie though.

Very nice truck indeed. And looks it worth the asking price. The only question I have is how B-61T (not ST) became a tandem chassis?

Interesting display! And I like that RD aside. Have Anthems became common on the road in your neck of the woods? Thanks for sharing.

A long while back, 4 or 5 years ago, Ranchhopper on here was offering for sale a pair of seats of thart style in a good condition. Sure I'm way not sure he still has anything.

Agree. The mounting flange and the pattern look very similar to what I had off my engine. But I didn't take any measurements and the offset may differ too.

Isn't that the same part as was used on Mack engines? E6-350 particulary.

It may worth starting paint works from smaller parts then. What I did with my R was an air cleaner housing first, than two doors, than... etc. So being you I'd complete the fiberglass job, than put primer on the hood, put and sand filler to a shape you're satisfied with, cover up with a final layer of primer all over and than put it aside. Than take the filter housing, prep and do paint over it. Easy to redo if not perfect by the 1st attempt and also possible to switch the color if you not almost like it after seeing an actual part of the truck.

Good plan on that. I guess the result will be fine if you have experience with paint works. The cab isn't really large if you first paint the interior, than the roof, than the cowl and the back wall as separate steps. Doors are much more seen parts but it's easy to spray at them positioned horizontly. So the most dramatic story with paint is the hood. It may also be divided for areas above and below the curved edge along its sides. The progress over the house looks good. But I don't see a girl on a ladder picture.

Wish you both speedy recovery! Covid can not be that same agressive as it was in 2019 and 2020. And really great to hear the truck is running now! I didn't keep the track on this thread for a while while I was off computer down the road in the East.

Although women can make plenty of hard works when they want to the hood is too heavy for her hands if you plan her to accompony yourself. I would better ask those construction guys to spend 5 minutes after their shift to pull the hood off the truck and bring it into the garage. And give them a 6 pack. I don't know how does the such work in your country but here it's pretty common. If the crue is construction workers you usually may offer a small fee to make a certain amount of additional work done. And if you need a 3 minutes help it's in the most cases enough just to ask and 3-4 men comes with no negative and no pretensions for any pay back. By the word do you plan to paint the hood yourself? Or bring it to a paint shop? On my mind you would need to have it off the truck in the both cases. P.S. And good point in having a spare hood is you wouldn't need bothering the truck while tinker with a hood for it.

Doesn't it worth a try to ask a guy or two of the crue to hold a patch of fiber in place for a few minutes while you're applying another one?

I don't know if Cat engines ever installed in a L-model.
