    I have nothing of 30 y.o. pictures with a truck but those were made 25 years back. Turkish guy came to Moscow with a load of construction materials to supply the building built up by Turkish company. A friend of mine found it and told to the driver. Than called me and we were back on the next day. It was the first Mack I touched up by my hand. That's me in the cab on the passanger seat.

    Hmm... I probably had seen some of those Christas trees with no gold painted lizards on them either The bumper turned out good and the ass seems Ok.

    Phil, It seems as a long story to the moment. I described it on the most matters on here. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/29254-frame-is-ready/?hl=u-press Vlad

    If you continue testing with so nice truck images nobody would say any bad about hijacking. I'm with the tandem likers. At least until I go sandblast/paint four hubs with eight rims. Have done them 12 with 22 to the moment and still have neither truck complete. WTH.

    Hmmm... You didn't note that in the original post. It would make my life easier if I ever come to finish my AC tanker model. Might make it Texaco since the decals in the kit are good enough to. About no time for scale modelling though, lots of to do with full size objects.

    At least two wrong AC's on the e-bay picture. IM instead of T and the star. One more point to remind how carefull man should be bidding on evil bay

    The air cleaner seems as a typical Canadian one.

    So do those Rockwell hubs make those model's special apperience?

    I'm with Donald Trump this time. What the hell is going on...

    Not almost about that. The patterns you posted are of the Mack built TRD/TRT/TRQ factory transmissions. They were generally used on the B-model era trucks. An auxilary gear box wich is mentioned in the first post is mounted separately right after a main (stock) tranny. It could be low/direct or low/direct/fast or other. Telling anything about its influence to the road speed might be done knowing its gearing only. So some basic research on that unit's matter is required.

    Cool stories Randy You got a lot of fun with truck driving together with seeing the country. I remember you told me some of that. Like Mercedes. Don't remember seeing any of them on the net about the States.

    You are welcome! I'd like to twist my tongue a lil bit with English. Oder Deutsch wenn wunschst du

    The world was changed that day. Japanise were too far from to be lucky in the end.

    Your about right. Maybe 5 inches longer skirt and it would be pretty common everyday dress for Moscow in summer. Not many afford so high heels for everyday walk though. By the word the licence plate on that picture tells the car is registered in Moscow. It seems like Tommy had his very long ways off this past week

    Ron, Seeing Tom's pictures we use to think the way you do. But when we try things to do we found out we actually have no time to

    So taking all above together does B53 have less self weight than a basic B61 with more payload? That would mean just a better truck though. And what is about frames with higher section in the center? All B53's had them or it was option? Tom's mixer rides on some special front hubs as I can see.

    Make a cutoff in the roof larger? Put the seal in gas to make it thick and then lay down for some while and it will dry out and get smaller? Seems like another seal is required

    Best wishes to full recovery Mike! Don't overspeed it though, spend this time relaxing as far as you're forced to not be active. It's not so difficult to compensate a loss when you're well.

    The most of math seems me "as faster as better" if we talk about a bobby truck. You have a planty of low gears in any heavy truck transmission.

    When I was buying my 12.00R24 China cooked ones they were tire/tube/liner sets.

    That's what exactly needed to me. Good thing when a truck has Maxi's - no run with no brakes. For the buzzer it works in my 1943 NM. When you switch the key on you can hear it and until the pressure is up enough. But it doesn't sound as a constant "bzzzz". Just "tsick-tsick-tsick". Like an old on-wall clock but 3 times faster.
  22. Vladislav
    I doubt you can really get it for 7300. That would be a steal.
  23. Vladislav
    That's cool to see it running and you driving! Good sound and looks it goes fast. And I'd say my shifting skills went not much further from what you did in the video.

    Many creatures look nice when they are small. Macks is exception

    Not the doors only but the colors
