what whom she was looking waiting for? What is that orange truck? WS or A-car? This style of hood isn't familiar to me. Probably haven't payed enough attention to "Other truck makes". Tom, thank you for the pictures. The leaves turned out no less spectacular than rusty jewels.

Might be a stupid question but to each his own. What psi boost E6-350 should have when bobtailing? Sure no load but with a full throttle at a midlle rev range it never takes more that 8 psi. Generally in a flat road I see from 0 to 3.

We will !!

My choice is for Able. Just need a minor thing - to add a Superliner

Unbelivable What was wrong to leave?

Great stuff! I doubt there are many places with a big collection of Atkinson's. Diamond-T road train is impressive. Just as a truck it's a relatively rare thing with closed cab in Europe.

No, not this one. There was a long E9 yellow Superdog with flat top bunk for something like 20-22 grand. Somewhere in NY or other North-East states. You could find it rifling through "For sale" section. Just difficult to do, there were many RW for sale recently.

Thank you for the advice and explanation. Unfortunately there were not enough rubles this time to get there personally. 2020 is a long times, we'll see. Pretty sure you had nice days being there. Many big Macks I saw on the net you was able to come by. Looking foward for more news from your side.

One nice tapa to talk about

Interesting source. Just haven't notice anything with stack cut outs.

I have no other options excepting to be the third on that.

O-ho! A good amount of goddies you've catched up at the show griounds during those 45 minutes. I like the EH firetruck pick-up conversion. Done clean and looks nice. Sure hope the owner did that having no chances to restore it as a fire truck. Thank you for sharing with us, as always.

Tim, Nice to see you showed out Ok and being not traced hard with Marmite stains. It seems to me though nobody yet payed attention to the fraze "There is one more MAIKSHILO in New Zealand". What you was talking about? Is that Max's last achievement??

Hmmm.... When I was a kid I was told swordsmen used to pass each other by a shield side. So every body kept right side. Brocky, Those trucks are absolutely awesome! Thank you for sharing. I need some explanations though. That event at Alice Springs - was that a current truck show or the museum's collection? I doubt museum would keep so many beautiful vehicles outside.

Cool

I agree on a military path. Tires have military pattern and Type 75's were used during WW2. There's description on that in Bart Vanderveen's book. And that picture was posted there either. Nice to see those brand new Mack trucks on the assembly line anyway.

I suppose the picture is on the avatar.

There was yellow Superliner for sale on here a while back, something about 3-5 month. It has what looked like Paccar bunk on. I checked out my folder of RW pics but haven't found it. Maybe anybody else keeps more info of it. As for me I'd prefere taboo

Looks cool. I keep the idea in my brain to rework 24.5 front rims on my MH to bring them some extra offset. Maybe about 1 inch. The reason is just to improve the look. I have about the same doubts on road handling as you do. So would be glad to know your experience. MH has too short wheelbase as your F model either.

Absolutely.

Ohhh.... I supposed to see the Magnum...

As they said. Glad to hear you've done the deal.

There were at least 2 styles of diff housings on B's. Earlier ones had 10 bolts all around the flange to be fitted to the axle banjo. Actually 10 bolts (2 big and 8 small) and two studs wich you can't see from the top but two nuts at the bottom side. No matter though. Later ones have multiple bolts around the mounting flange and they fit the same as CRD92/93 of R-model and other newer style trucks. The difference in late B's and R's is the length of the interaxle diff (power divider) housing. B's had longer divider and R's are shorter. This fact means a R model gear set (of the CRD92/93 style wich are pretty common) has short drive pinion on a FR than B model has. So you can put B model style gear set or use a newer one together with complete short body power divider. Need to correct the prop shaft lenght as a follow. I myself am looking for a pair of gear sets of a long divider style with a ratio about 6-6.5 It doesn't look easy to find but you know my location isn't perfect for such the entertainment and I need no housings, gears only to ship them overseas for reasonable.
