Being not a firetruck now this thing isn't far from to be called a one of the kind. Nice looking rig showing out alot of love invested in it. Gas power is one more reason to ex-firetruck.

Absolutely awesome stuff So many beautifully restored trucks and so many early ones. Thank you for posting the wide and detailed report. Some of the museum rigs were seen on here before but it's a real pleasure to put an eye on them again. -
Always glad to know things go better at some place. You will probably find out the fuel costs lower soon. Nothing like that overhere though. People was getting interested why the fuel costs go higher when the oil cost drops down? When oil cost went up gvnt said the fuel followed but now they're telling stories about other reasons. Recently I had to find out those oil costs drop down my personal income either. Not the end of the world though, i still have enough of old iron to play with. And the most everybody on here knows we never have a shortage of

Your trip sounds like an adventure. Sorry to hear about all those flats but that's goot you could miss any other issues. Surprized of the numper of the tyres blown though. From seeing the pis there was a great show day. And it's nice everybody of your family enjoyed the entertainment.

Those screen savers are incredable savers. Sorry still no one with Bulldog in the background. Yes, that's true Tim, people always find a chance to be unhappy when they have everything to be almost happy Thank you for sharing, now I go to a sack with a thought that at least some one has a nice time in a beautiful land.

Yea, that Iranian deal haven't turn out nice. It seemed to me Obama had an interest in the strategial partnership. Probably a try to find support in the part of Eastern world. Doesn't look like a great achievment. As for my location that story will have uncomfortable follow. Getting back of Iran to the oil market means big increase of offer wich means lower costs. It will not be nice to Russia's oil export based economy and will push down the national currency again. I myself though am glad that local gwnt and economy will get a cold shower. It forses them to start thinking basic things better. At least a little bit.

Because of the tinted windows the road shots are my today's favorites. Tom, thank you for the weekly report. And like Rustydog said in the end.

Tim, as further you post as less words I have in my BMT actively trained lexicone to deskribe emotions. I wouldn't bet Other dog on this matter, just as he said above

Nice old Macks, especially on the old pics. The breakfast place, the firetruck and the legs in the car are all eye candies. Thank you for posting Ray.

I would say 200-300 kg for a naked skeleton of a cab. If you add doors, windows, seats etc you'll go to about 500-600 kilo's. But that's an avarage figure. At least less than a metric ton for sure.

Injection pump
Vladislav replied to eddeere's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
You better check out the info for your pump. Because I know the only reason for those two spots in the pump. I myself is far from to be a great Mack fuel pump specialist but my book tells "fill the pump" and "drain it through the plug". Also I had a deal with German Bosch fuel pumps off Mercedes car of early 70's and they had separate oil bath. With fill neck and plug. Later models became connected to engine oil gallery and had no such stuff. -
Well done, Randy! That's cool the kid has interests in history and such the event you provided with him was the best of what you could do. Thanks for the report about your activities, interesting to learn those facts.

Some one didn't want to do his work?? Hmmm, strange...

Aluminum fuel tanks for R model
Vladislav replied to Junior9009's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
Have anybody checked out how much are new ones? I'm looking for the longest one to put on the right. Like the one on the picture. No matter how long from Lehigh Valley in my case though. Vlad

Picked up some aluminum wheels today
Vladislav replied to ranchhopper's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
When I polished mines I also didn't do the centers since I could cover them with chrome parts. This is what I've got after putting everything on. The covers were from Big Rig Chrome Shop. -
Photographer was here again
Vladislav replied to Superdog's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
This bunch looks better than the previous one. Maybe the girl #2 got some skills from the pioneer. I'm for the calendar. -
Have missed the post, the truck looks great now. The result sure worth the job. Congrats!

Well done weekend

Uggh... I still don't see any snow. The ocean view is unbelevable!

I hope. And too hope to learn it soon. Thanks again for the info support.

Value-Liner scale model finished.
Vladislav replied to Whiskymack's topic in Mack Scale Model and Diecast Corner
On the pics it looks awesome! I'd say a bit better than a real one. All the wires and pipes under the hood and in the chassis seem correct and take this truck apart from just toys. Openable doors turned out perfect. What did you use for the cab as a basis? 1/25 AMT or 1/24 italery? Vlad -
If you look well the pics in the high resolution you can mention fresh rust spots. Some areas in the frame might be blasted bad but the rear axle housing shows nothing else but poor quality of paint. Pretty sad seeing it on a just done stuff.

This update sounds optimistic. The junk owner said the truck was 1985. So there are chances the hood is long. Today I checked out my trucks, it seems possible to move the radiator assembly about an inch backwards and than the hood hinge mountings. Now I'm planning on a train trip. Can sleep at night and spend an only day for the deal. The rear axles he has are of the same kind as the broken one in Siberian DMM so there's a reason to go anyway. Just too many affairs are being plaited together and not much luck is getting out of. All as usual. Thank you for the exact sizes. By the word there's the difference of 22 mm only, less than whole 25.4
