Have a great day!

Lund visor looks nicer on a R model on my mind but the Aussie style one is a pretty good thing being installed on Aussie Mack. It makes it look it's special way together with a bull bar, high air intake and so on. Just my point of view though.

What a great find! Congrats, have a ball with it. As for the pics of the Ford wrecker I think it was posted in the gallery on here. Wonder how much work was invested into it.

Congrats on the purchase Paul! We big boys should play some toys from time to time. Hope you're quite comfortable with that wrong side steering

Thank you for sharing your friend's projects. Nice place to spend some while enjoying old iron. I have no doubt you didn't miss truck talks either.

Sounds like good news.

That clean white Superdog is a real eye candy. We all saw it posted a bunch of times but it's always nice to watch again. Mike, are those Budds off White split wheels of tubless? I keep my eye for a pair of 22.5's with the same look (6 holes) to put in front of Mack NM. Just would like to know anything of that kind exists.

Best Birthday wishes Randy!

The truck looked nice but $50K sounds unbelivable. Hope the story is true although I wouldn't mind anything like that ever happen with myself. I mean when I sell.

Congrats! Is it a time to buy one more toy of the kind you may hang up to one of your red beasts?

Thanks. Sounds like we never know what will happen in a next second.

That fact about smoke cheers up a bit. There's just nothing that might be called "good" in that story though.

Thank you for posting. I was too surprized when learned that KamAZ plant was built with a big deal of Mack company. Nobody told or wrote about it at Soviet Union times. I have heard nothing about it locally nowadays either.

Yes, it was a very good catch of that B. I'm not a great fan of girls in a car, just prefere goats on a hill though. The road shots are nice as usual. What is he story of the bridge collapse in 1967?

Too sorry to hear. It's very bad thing taking to account it was a fire. My condolences.

I can myself can say only warm words about my visit to Bskin Ridge. We were invited, were shown of everything in 3 big sheds, were allowed to crawl over rusty truck remains in the back yard (wich was better called a side yard). Garry's mechanic/caretaker, than Garry himself and Garry's son spent a while to show out the collection and told some stories and so on. In the end we all were offered with custom-printed T-shorts with the pics of Macks from the collection. All in all it was a great day and those folks seemed to me very care full about their guests. I well remember when Garry said "No matter a man has a truck or 20 trucks. The most interesting thing he has an interest and love to antique trucks".

You guys are too critical for the offer. I've just imaguned myself driving on a beach with a company of hot girls and ambrella thought it's a good looking B and it's a cabrio so 5K doesn't seem bad being spent on it. The only sorry (as usual) I need to make too long ride along a beach to get it closer to my home.

It either could be deformed by the same stress wich it was broken down. Might be turned over along its length and in the spline area also. I'm also for a hammer and thinking over there's no reason to make any more damage this way.

Tim, I try my best. There's an interesting story over the truck I bought the hood off. The seller told there was some Bulgarian company wich built something in his city (Samara). They used that R to pull a concrete semi. Once they blowed up the engine they stayed it parked for a while. Than they ended up the construction job and vent back home. But without the truck wich probably didn't worth the transportation. Seems like they didn't pay import taxes and had it imported temporary. So had no chances to sell locally. Some moons later folks who had the truck in their parking lot resolved to get some cash. They offered it to local junk yards and it came to the guys I bought the hood from. Probably due to having no official papers the truck wasn't sold solid but cut into pieces. So I had to buy the rest. The most interesting thing was that the last seller kept those parts since 2008 and didn't sell anything excepting two alu fuel tanks and the pair of fresh front wheels just in the beginning. So it seems like a kind of saving.

THANKS ALOT FOR CLEARING ME UP

Looks attractive. Adding a bell, an axe and some ladders will double the cost. Am I right?

Made a trip, got the hood and the axle. And sure some more pieces of worthless crap. For example that red air cleaner in beautiful shape. Very good part but I have the one already restored at the moment. The hood is generally good with exceptions of a couple of cracks wich seem repairable. Much better then the two I have. And of the correct length

No, no!! Only one piece at a time

Sorry again, this doesn't make sence to me in both languages. Sometimes i just feel stupid knowing all the words and having no idea what it means. By some reason it was translated as "one piece at THAT time".

Sorry Paul, not this time. Those modern international speech systems work good when you need to say loooong
