Seems to me just like a hood having not 1 inch of its length. An old short version. The distance between the fender back surface and the hood side edge to the cab front should be checked. An old cab has fenders cut straight along the rear edge. A 1 inch plus hood has a kind of vertical strip area to the back of the fender ending up to the cab front line.

As Larry said. And I don't remember seeing any posts made by the owner for a while. Sure don't know if the owner is still the same. Jum, where had you catched her? Or him??

Looks as impressive as hell! And observing how blue pain is glancing along the tank side I see the amount of work spent for filling/sanding to get the surface fair straight. Now the fresh paint paying back your efforts. Mentioning the wheel issue your experience helped me recently to figure out the case of the same kind in a few seconds

As they said. An eye catcher!

Cool looking MH. Congrats on the award!

From what I read I reasoned I should go off Carbon. Ain't gone yet.

I like it too. Just can't liking or smallbulldoging.

As said above. I was off the site for some while and found out I "can't get comfortable in the chear". Used to use Carbon and do it now. Can't see the "like" button or the bulldog. Sure it's clean on need of providing site security updates. Just maybe is it the time to request the software guys on the content and effects of their new products? Seems like it concerns alot of folks, not a single user. Have no idea on how it's possible though.

Once a conteiner shipped from NJ got its way through the Panama pass to Pacific aiming to Vladivostok. Then was customed and continued travelling by railroad through whole Russia to Moscow. I had a R-model grill in that load. During the while I made a trip to the States, bought another similar grill and made it home. So now I have them two. Just hope the locker will arrive sooner than the Toyota gets it's next airbag swap.

Wow! You never know what is behind a next road curve indeed. Hope both the seller and the buyer are satisfied guys. And from what I read it looks like they are

Those I fired up were made in 1985. Were quite full on the charge in the age of 30. The door sill stickers prescribed to renew them after 5 years.

No, it's still floating somewhere in Atlantic

Knock on the wood

Looks like the job goes fast. The best feeling is when you're coming in to the building you just found out is ready to put your rigs into. Observing the structure up and down and growing up plans in your had of what to put where. Wish you'll be at that point soon. Good luck on the project!

I made them bag blasts using 5 meter wires. Placed on the ground. Had the bag jumping 1 meter off the ground and lotta smoke and noise. Don't touch the carcass with your fingers right after the event. Used to be toooo hot.

Who-hoo, one funny thing to see! If the badge on the hood side is from the factory it means the truck is from the late series NR-16 - NR-20 which were actually supplied to West Europe after the end of the war. Those trucks had the badge attached in the middle of the side panel, not further to the front as this truck has though. The chassis # might tell more on that. Thanks for sharing, seeing a NR is not an everyday event for me. Oh, excepting the days I have an ocassion of coming in to my big shed )

Sean, from what I see on the pic shortening/swapping the tank is the only way. For that reason I kept one of my R's tanks stock length while adding a quoter meter to the other when did re-skin. Will put the spare on the right rail in my case. Les safe taking it off being on a shoulder. For the spare wheel arrangement the most trailer in the streets here are European made, rode on 6 385/65 supersingles as US folks call them. So people have a tractor spare on the tractor chassis and one or two trailer spares under the trailer's floor.

A gentleman in a black suitcase BTW I can't find a "like" button. Is something changed on here again?

Guy, Mack END510 and END672 were also Lanova's. They had Lanova pre-chamber design. Just different engines than ED installed in NR models. A kind of next generation. Cool pics of those L's. Thanks for posting.

Jim, any pics of how that Mack NR looked ?

Best B-day wishes!

The snorkel looks very good For the spare tyre bracket I just can't spot the area quite enough to put a wheel at the right of the chassis. From my screen it looks a tyre can't get in between the right tank and the FR wheels. For the bracket itself which I also have in plans I got an idea. Should note I looked over 5-6 variants of them off European trucks at a junk yard (DAF, Scania, Volvo, MAN, MB) and found out all they have wheel mounting bolts arranged for European pattern. So American wheel required modification to be attached (what I saw on some Macks at shows in The Netherlands. The other day I bought a battery box bracked off late 90's Mack DM. It was attached at the right just below the cab. Consists of two steel plates of a shape of triangle with flanges bent at the bottom. Like many other chassis-mounted brackets. Seeing that part I realized I can use those two side plates. Just welding a pair of steel strips to them at the bottom, drilling 4 holes of the size American wheel has for and a spare wheel bracket is done. The last point would be a small winch to lift a wheel in place.

I like this way of chassis restoration. Have you got the crossmembers riveted or bolted up?

The engine is Renault. I suppose nothing similar of its components to anything made in North America. I know some Renault engines were named MIDR. Haven't dig deep into that matter. Seems like you're in this ball park. Try just googling Renault Midliner and you will probably learn the most about your baby. I suppose it's pretty easy for me being on my side of the globe locating parts for your rig. But for you it might be found out as a headach. Vlad

Don't you still have the pair of MH front springs? Or are they already gone?
