Unfortunately I see only the cow wich looks at me and the script "the page not found". Rifled through Scranton craigslist and got this. The adress line is almost the same as you posted the link. Here are some pics from the ad. It's tandem indeed and looks like the diffs are in their place. Wonder wich style and ratio. Is the only way to contact to call him?

Many countries have or had such requirements. For example B-models wich were sold in France looked this way. Happily I'm lucky being off the need to butcher up a truck's face in my country.

Interesting links but I've got some difficulties with reading. My Russian doesn't help. Don't know about the English spoken part of the community though This yellow thing was catched up in Moscow with my friend's camera in this past August. Unfortunately he hadn't time enough to find the driver and talk with him. My favorit of Iranian trucks is this old model. Can you tell my what those trucks phisically are? I mean model, type of engine, years of production. It looks too close to the World War 2 military Mack trucks. Vlad

The link doesn't work. At least to me. Is it a twin screw truck? I'm looking for a set of Mack differentials of 6-6.5 ratio off L or B model.

Don't worry about 10 tonn bridge, hay is lighter than air Seriousely I bought GPS about 5 years back and tried to use it. The reason was the motorbike. To check a map you need to stop, take glowes off, oped on-tank bag and than a map is in front of you. I bought water-proof Garmine, made attachment to the steering column and made a big trip. The most nice part of the story began when I rode into the city of Istanbul. Looked the city map in general, put it in the bag and started. Rode following Garmin. After about an hour when my fingers were good enough to fall apart due to all the starts/stops/shifts etc I stopped and checked out the map. That f**king thing headed me straight! Not along the highways but through the living streets. Having no other trip options found I set the general map of the city and kept direction to the center. Had it done in 20 minutes! Uggh... Used that thing 3-4 more times after that. What is the paint scheme on that tandem firetruck? Is it for fireservice or anything else? Thank you for the pictures.

What a shameful story to part that truck out... Happily now she has much more chances to be back on her wheels and power. Are the rails aluminium?

Swishy M8, Looking the link U posted I'd say th@ bloke knows the correct answer 4 sure

Seeing that I feel myself like I wanted to haul coal whole my life. Thank you for posting

Dear Tommy, I drive sometimes. Don't use to be locked with a chain to my shop together with a brick shithouse. These pics were taken by the ocassison of the same kind.

Might be used as a basis to build a re-sized big truck replica. Sure not a solid vehicle like the one in the ad.

Congratulations on a new headache blue dream truck!

Those pics with sand environment makes worth to sell the truck and build bungalow of hay near that place.

Very good score on big Mack trucks this time! Some of those shots put me in a worry though. Good you explained that later, I was wondering who drove the red KW while you was doing a pee stop. Cool Silverado. Looks nice in red.

That's all very intersting, thank you for explaining. Being grown in a metric part of the world I even had some casualities with SAE fasteners. Or "inch fasteners" as we used to call it here. Some special bolts and studs, oil seals and plugs are used in SAE. On Russian produced vehicles and other European countrie's either. Such an easy thing as a drive tool you fit a socket on to run a bolt has 3/8, 1/2, 3/4 and so on. Regardless sockets are metric in a set. The reason I asked about Mack frames is what I met as a trouble (not a great one though) along my restorations. The most of SAE fasteners you can buy here. Or order from US. Copper pipes for brake air lines seemed to me a problem but I found them just in a sonstruction supermarket, they are used (by some reason??) for air conditioning. Don't know why to use SAE pipes having all stock of cooper pipes of sizes 6-8-10-12mm everywhere. Something more extraordinal I found later. For the first it was thickness of sheet metal. Here you can buy 0.5-0.8-1.0-2-3-4 etc mm thick. But you can't get it of 3/8. Working with R-model door I wanted to fresh up the glasses. Could order them from Watts but it's a long story. I was going to just order them in a glass shop but found out the thikness is 5.7 mm. Here I can deal with 5 or 6mm. 5 seems slim. 6 would get snug. All in all those English system things makes my resto adventures more colorful. Happily I don't need to hit a concrete wall by my head along a job.

Swishy, that's a good point the fender bottom line is about clear up the tyre. So hood together with cab seats higher for sure. Would be nice to see the cab mounting brackets. Many thanks for telling about RB model. I figured for a long while what those trucks were. Were NZ only produced 'em? I mean with that hood style. Looks good on my taste.

Thank you for posting the great stuff! Wonder what did they mean showing out "standard" and metric frames? Was there the sheet metal thikness SAE or metric or they just describe the same stuff with different scales? 3/8" is not exactly 10mm.

Paul, Any guess or suggestion on that matter from your locaion has better chances to be true than from other parts of the globe. Looking the pics above NZ RW's don't look built in the US since have bumper mounting bolts pattern similar to a R-model. American R-model though. So seems like R-model frames were used.

Wow! That sounds as a great idea! I haven't thought that Australian and NZ Macks might be different. That means though they must have different cab mounting brackets either. There's a question to our down under Mack specialists - were Australian and NZ Superliners produces at the same factory or there were different locations? Thanks the great for those Superliner brochures you posted. I have never put my eye on any of before.

I'm not absolutely sure about that angle but it seems too possible since the hood has differences in its shape. Hadlight heigth from the ground make sence indeed. Too probably that's the reason.

Upps. I wouldn't have ever thunk that thing was a factory option. Learn something new every day and every night.

Welcome!

Whiskymack, Hmm, I agree. Those with higher lights, I'd say American style hood looks sitting lower. But they all look RWII. Any chassis difference? I don't count it as a shame but I still can't figure out completely what chassis style Australian RW's were used.

Swishy, Your 2 cents are very appreciated. Those 50th annyversary green giants are absolutely looks stoppers!

Ok guys and blokes, look at this two pics: Green lines - distance between the headlight bucket lower edge and fender reinforcement strip upper edge. Red line - wheel arch lower edge related to the headlight bucket position. Hope now you can see - that's not illusion. I'm sure both styles are Superliner II. Doubt there was a square headlight hood before Superliner II production start. There are no side marker's on the "low loght" hoods indeed. So any suggestions? Just one more Aussie hood option? Or early production style?

Wow! Very interesting. Worth to put in the Wiki section. Don't you have anything like that for 80's years by a chance?
