  1. The paintwork is very nice! And the interesting story.
  2. 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?
  3. Welcome To the paradise city Where the grass is green And Macks are pretty!!
  4. Looks nice and is in a good condition from what you've wrote about. Welcome to the forum! Vlad
  5. 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
  6. 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?
  7. Cool! Seems like a lot of job is done in it. Is the cab mated together with bunk on rails with air support?
  8. 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.
  9. I wouldn't miss a chance to have such H no matter what the steering side is.
  10. Both look very nice down the road
  11. The fingers are crossed. Out East??
  12. Mike, thank you for sharing. Hope the sleepers were not going to Mexico.
  13. 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.
  14. I think it was offered somewhere else before. At least I saw that picture. Vlad
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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
  18. 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.
  19. 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?
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Glenn, that sounds unbelevable! To my sorry, nothing like that here. If I try to send the axle to overseas trip it might be missed in between the coasts
  23. Randy, thank you for sharing the facts around you. The T-short is cool. And the turd What was the story in Beirut? When I was a kid I remember there were some talks about war in Lebanon.
  24. That sounds optimistic. Might be depending on the degree of out of shape. The hub on the bent spot turns heavier then the others but I can spin it over by two hands with no trouble. I noted also one of the axle shafts is of the different style by its flange end form. Looks like someone had to change it in the past, too probably due to a failure. What I am really afraid is a shaft's break down wich will result me sitting in a middle of the road. Especially nice if it happens on a railroad cross wich are everywhere around. I can spare the shaft off my second R though. Any ideas on how fast the shaft could be gone? I understand this question is a kind of dumb one but maybe anyone had experience? This truck was towed for 700 km to me when I bought it and I'm sure that wheel was turning all the way.
