  1. Very nice to learn that there are persons in our world like those Aussies. Hats off.
  2. I can't stop myself to surprize how some of easy looking deals become just a disaster after a couple of smart a$$es put their hands on a subject. Too sorry to hear. Mack NO rears are standard Mack heavy rears, something like 68000. At least heavier than on NR (44000-?) They're Camelbacks with 9.02 diffs. The front axle together with tranny/transfer case were used later on heavy 6x6 B model, if the memory serves B83SX. The original engine is EY707 wich is a common 707 with military reworked oil pan (and the pump?) and updraft carb. So you can put all that together having the rest from those fast working guys and build a real truck. At least if you have enough to brush and the work worth it. As for the "Moscow inventory" the only gooddies of Mack NO I have is a pair of diff mounting gaskets. They're brand new though and i'll send them to you as far as you need. Or just to cheer you up
  3. Paul, thank you for clearing me up and advices. Hope after multi draining-refilling I will be able to check the final condition. Just need a time to put my hands on them. Actually they're fitted onto the frame together with front fender brackets. I don't want to fit the last ones yet since they limit access to the engine area. So shocks is a future affair.
  4. The paintwork is very nice! And the interesting story.
  5. The LTL is awesome! Do you mean you're not going to go to Alice Springs with it? You don't noted on what side of the globe you are. The steering wheel of LTL could be seen on the pictures though. That's pretty interesting. Any facts on how to take them apart? Turn off the notched nut? Or there's nothing to inspect inside so to paint them solid?
  6. Welcome To the paradise city Where the grass is green And Macks are pretty!!
  7. Looks nice and is in a good condition from what you've wrote about. Welcome to the forum! Vlad
  8. Those pics of how the road twisted with some snow (or ice?) on makes feeling "Brrr...". And the very first shot gives just a cry - the car is in front of you but you're in the left lane!! The next one looks Ok though From seeing the pictures I suppose you drove calm enough having moments to apply the camera. Almost every shot is nice enough for a screen wallpaper
  9. Very impressive to see. We have absolutely nothing like that overhere. What do those houses have as in the bottom? Some strong steel beam structure? The one you moved had the gates of the kind of a garage. Wasn't there anything interesting inside of the previous owner forgot about?
  10. Cool! Seems like a lot of job is done in it. Is the cab mated together with bunk on rails with air support?
  11. Nice looking MH. Wish you to end the deal up soon. As for marker lights I bought a set from Truck Lite for about the same cost but they weren't LED's.
  12. I wouldn't miss a chance to have such H no matter what the steering side is.
  13. Both look very nice down the road
  14. The fingers are crossed. Out East??
  15. Mike, thank you for sharing. Hope the sleepers were not going to Mexico.
  16. Ughhh... I'll let you know when it's fail. Right at the moment the main fact that cheers me up is indefiniteness of the time when that truck will be on the road.
  17. I think it was offered somewhere else before. At least I saw that picture. Vlad
  18. She might be. Depending on how much time he use to spend on his B and races in relation to a value of attention to that kind of wild creatures.
  19. Paul, thank you for the suggestions. You're right, I'm not a trucker. But mechanic. And everything deformed being working looks to me wrong. I probaly will keep that axle as-is for some while and let myself to get the best idea. Currenty I'm again out of time to work out that truck. Just need to put some repaired parts back together and get it on the road. I have experience with bent axle housings on off-road Mercedes G's. Usually it's followed by brake of an interaxle diff. But depending on a degree of issue. Mercedes gives 0.25 mm out of center limit on its axle ends.
  20. It's nice to do, but seems to me dangerous though to drive standing on the left fuel tank with a camera in hands at the same time
  21. It's easier to say what I dislike than what I like to see in there. Just watching and drooling, like a fat kid on a candy bar, as guys would say on here. My current dream is a fuel tank, like the one on the middle picture.
  22. Tom, it's nice to see the weekly report. All the girls, goats, dump trucks and pick-ups are good. Hope your brakes served well and Corvair continued his trip not being hit in its a$$. The last pic with white station wagon looks like Frightrain's. and the one above it... Is she his g/f he mentioned sometimes but has never showed out on here?
  23. Any thing in our world has multiple sides to look at. A clever man can see at least more than one. And you're almost right about Schicklgruber. There was a military parade in Warsaw after occupation of Poland in 1940. Both Germans and Soviet Union divisions marched there. There probably is a video on U-tube.
  24. How your arms are doing nice? Looks good! It was absolutely easy though, 22.5's are less in size than common 24.5's.
