  1. That's pretty interesting. In the under the cab area RW/MH steel frame has higher section than at rear. Does this mean that aluminum rail has the contact area at the side and the top only? Another question: do I remeber correctly that all RW1 both aluminium and steel frames had the split area with bolts under a cab?
  2. Congratulations on the deal done! And it's done wery nice. I remember you posted that sad story and had suggestions on how to do. Very nice you got the plan and had power enough to make it real. Glad to see the result
  3. Tom, thank you for sharing those "between the week's pictures". Looks like you had a nice time there.
  4. Paul, that sounds like a pretty interesting can of warms indeed
  5. No, it doesn't seem as a big deal. You can see clear that the dog in the car and the big dog in the car are almost different dogs. At least i hope an avarage dog can't keep his ears low enough to appear having just no ears. OD, thank you for the fall pictures and the cabover Mack. And the moon shot is turned out very well. Looks like you was not too far from the moon making it.
  6. Wankel?....
  7. If you're going to cut off any bent area to replace with a donor piece you should first correct the damage to the general original shape.
  8. Mike, what is the kind of the "bolting on" of aluminium rails to MH steel front section? I might get over MH chassis locally and being scratching my head on how to make it long enough to convert into the "dream truck" chassis.
  9. Glad to hear, that's very nice truck on my mind
  10. Nowadays you don't need to scan a dog. There's a planty of images and vector samples on the net.
  11. Those bright metal pieces can make a day. Congrats on the purchase! Do you still have your green B75 single axle? I remember you talking about the sale several times, thought you have that done.
  12. It seems the truck is in a good shape indeed. Good interior either. The color makes it unusual, you might get it brighter applying some polish on. Any history on the H-model in the first picture? Good luck on the project! Vlad
  13. Nice looking new rigs and attractive presentation. Although my favorit MAZ is this one.
  14. Thank you. I will try to get some of that scrap for not expensive. How is your friend getting on his WW2 Mack resoration?
  15. Josh - why do you need a Studebaker cab insted of the original one?
  16. Ken, It's not at the right side of the picture, it's at the left. Tom, Those fall pictures are beautiful. I think if anybody like to spend even 1000 gallons of paint to make leaves different color it would never look as nice. Thank you for the post and... Hope FWD will not be frustrated this time
  17. It's difficult to picture a Studebaker in that color but RW with Able bunk would look like it should of its best. Don't remember seeing or hearing about Sent-Germain Superliners though
  18. If you go with any new wood sheet the dog might be cut out of self adgesive film in a shop wich makes advertizements or other vinil work. Then put it on and cover with clear coat.
  19. Could the air compressor and starter be used on E6-350?
  20. Hmmm... Too much of the driver's seat is ate by mice.
  21. Wonder what do they ask for LTL? If the memory serves it's on Truckpaper for no less then four years. http://www.truckpaper.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=2191528&dlr=1&pcid=2000763270
  22. From what we found out I understand that Kiwis assembled their trucks until started recieve ready ones from Brisbane factory. There is a note about "franchize agreement with Mack Trucks inc.USA" of 1973. This might mean they assembled trucks from the parts supplied from the States. If so there were NZ models specially designed (in the US??) to use a R-model frame and right hand drive setup.
  23. Someone parted out a concrete pumper. It was probably MR. They sold the equipment and scrapped the chassis. Now the small rest is offered for sale, I might get it cheap. But the seller have nothing of an idea what the engine was. So it could be off E7 or E6-350 wich would work for me. The gearbox seems as T2050/60/70 or maybe T2090. Any thoughts on how to determine it also appreciated. Vlad
