    The reason of a high roof is a second bed in the sleeper. Which is a very common, or generally a standart setup for a European highway truck. F-models had id made as a plastic hood which was fitted in place of the standart steel roof. As I was told as the answer to my question those roofs were made in the US and the trucks were supplied already equipped with them.

    It's a usual thing when you get alot after a moment you start digging anything. I'm also surprized of the number of Mack trucks worked in Europe and Middle East in 70's and 80's. One funny and new to me thing I learned this time. As long as Macks were commonly used and well-known trucks in Holland at the same time other American brands like Pete, KW or say White were a real rare exotic. In my country Macks had always been exotic although the same was to Pete's and KW's. I just didn't pay much of my attention to that fact.

    Paul, some of them RW's were sold new in Europe and the most of you can see are of that kind. Some more were imported later as hobby trucks either. More pics

    This past weekend I grabbed my bag and flew to the Netherlands. Visited friends and attended Mackdag-2016 event, as Dutch people use to call it. Here are some shots you might enjoy to see.

    Too sad to hear. Sometimes every one of us sure hear when some person was killed by a drunk or stupid driver. But it's much more extremely feeling when happens to a person you was in a tight contact with. And it's almost shocking how many people are sunk in their own busynesses only paying about nothing of attention to the others who could be easily injured or, as much more tragely, killed by a lack of care about. And it's always seems like the most of drivers just haven't in their minds that road service crews no matter pavers, cleaners, roll back or emergency mechanics are being on the road with a reason to improve the road a people use.

    I agree on that. Might be interested knowing exact number of teeth in the upper gear set(s) Although for the best I'm looking for something faster. Nearly 6.5. Already looking for a while though.

    That's the worst part of that style of travels

    As for me I would make the final choice on it depending of how Luciya is nice and pretty

    Both swapping the gearbox or carriers you make modifications to your 74K miles truck. Putting 12 speed or similar style 10 speed you would have what you have now with additional overgear and some intersteps.

    So you just need to ask Al (57 BCR) which show he's going to bring his truck the nearest time and get yourself there

    Great !

    Lots of cool trucks there! Many thanks for sharing the pics.

    All as said above but I would add a bit. When you have your rig roaming over the road or other steering issues it also could be caused by loosy rear axle(s). You have your truck steered by the front wheels for sure. But in theory the rear ones could do it either. Vlad

    Looks like they just have them as a reserve for better times when modern digital trucks will become almost unusable due to multiple electronic falures and the most of people will have nothing to haul with

    Diamond-T shed transporter is a killer

    Just tried to save a bit of aluminium?? By the word they should be hub centered wheels.

    Looks like a nice day. How slow did you drive? I would be a bit nervous having so many folks on the trailer, especially kids. And if it goes overhere police would be crazy about you having a bus licence (more than 8 passangers) and both carrieing people off seats equipped to seat on.
