    L-models are my absolute favorites about firetrucks. If they were equipped with anything taller than 20 inch wheels I'd be scratching my head on importing one for a while. Having no intend to swap wheels and going off the stock design works as a good excusion.

    Now I remember he lifted up a question on selling his RW. It was no less than 2 or 3 years to now.

    Nice to see Tommy's pictures. Don't know how better to characterize GMC, as a beautiful or ugly but it takes attention no doubt. Something went wrong with the road in Gladis VA though. I sure remember seeing a sign "Winfall" at the shoulder to the right of the place the mixer truck runs. Oh, I just probably mismatch the cities. Gladis is not the same place as Winfall. Only a stupid can think it right? Neat photos of the old days, Thank you for sharing them guys.

    This story sounds damn sad. Unfortunately it becomes a common idea or life style to not needing any education on things, just paying them over and being Ok. No doubt such approach heads to losses. But nobody would think a loss might be a kid's life. Hope you FL guys are getting Ok.

    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!

    From what I read I reasoned I should go off Carbon. Ain't gone yet.
  11. Vladislav
    I like it too. Just can't liking or smallbulldoging.
  12. Vladislav
    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

    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?
  23. Vladislav
    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.
  24. Vladislav
    Jim, any pics of how that Mack NR looked ?

    Best B-day wishes!
