  1. Good luck on the painting and other works. Vlad
  2. A lot of newer stuff on it although its look is impressive. I always liked the color scheme. And sure the great amount of job is involved.
  3. That's pretty interesting post about South and Central American trucks. I haven't heard about those marks. The language is Czechian since that's Czechian model building site. There's written "Traksomex" produced those trucks in 80's years assembling them of Mack parts of different models. Cummins engines were used". But if you look at the pic the hood length is normal. Interesting is that RW hood is adapted to the classic R-model cab.
  4. Paul, that's cool you shared that. Don't know how it would be for the rest of you native folks but to me it was a real tongue twister. I agree on the paint work.
  5. I didn't track them all. Thought maybe some one was in a real need.
  6. Seems like a nice gethering. Than you for posting those candies.
  7. Good spy work! That COE is WW2 Autocar or International with Timken axles but seeing the pic I'd say someone put L-model cab on it. Good choice of B's, hope somebody will keep any as a treasury.
  8. That FedEx sleeper cab is neat although I wonder much more when and why those guys got that poor interaxle diff off the red truck and broke it down by the floor???!!! Did you ask them on that? It doesn't seem right, they scratched off the teeth either by some reason. Nice pick-ups, I like them both. And was anything wrong with the log truck? I didn't mention anything out of line.
  9. Thank you for sharing, interesting bunch of pics. I have no matter to discuss over the bumper sticker but that script on the trailer gate corellates with the add in the Truckpaper posted recently on here. Wonder what the reason some American trucking companies are looking for Russian-speaking drivers...
  10. Your question is not too easy. You mentioned many different transmissions and many of them were from different series of the different ages. Sure not all of them were 10 speeds. I can tell you forget about TRD-72 series. They are old single countershaft trannies, used mostly on B models etc. in sixties. T200 series is Mack newest serie and T2100 is 10 speed indeed. 1070 series conteins 10 spd either but I'm not familiar with it. Dig out the Wiki section of the forum well and look over the threads posted along the theme. Look over ebay, there are usually many offers on service manuals and trannies itself. You may try to identify what you have in your truck just relating your stuff to pictures posted there. Vlad
  11. Looks like the cost grew up pretty fast.
  12. Thank you for sharing. Nice to see trucks from your location.
  13. Pretty interesting setup. Was it a factory built vehicle? And is it alive now? I can't say it looks bad with that short nose.
  14. What the beautiful scenaries Tim! Seems you knew what place to choose for trucking. What was the air temp when you did the shots? Paul, is there really NO snow?? Maybe you need to import some?
  15. These DM's are tough trucks. Wonder how a walking beam rear suspension works on a rough road.
  16. These beasts above aren't far from Mack W71 about look. Excepting the offset. And I would say the red one look nice.
  17. Let's hope it will need some easy fixing wich doesn't require a while. Mmmm... I mean it's faster to swap an axle than re-rail the chassis. Sorry to hear.
  18. That's funny to learn about the bloke by he name of Mack. It explaines alot. But the monkey... It might make some sence either.
  19. We are proud of you Good luck on fixing the issues and future achievements!
  20. Lots of neat stuff! Paul, thank you for getting the agreement to share with us.
  21. Does anybody need the sand box with a spreader?
  22. Beau-ti-ful I like those diamond plate headlight panels. Would make the same for mine if don't like the stock ones too much.
  23. Looks like the life became different and we stay in the past. Something goes on to this world and I'm sorry and afraid if anything (like that for exampe) exists it means someone need it.
  24. There must be 12V. I'm not ready to say about ALL R-models although the most American built ones (and Canadian) were 12V all over.
  25. Tom, it was custom printed to please folks at Macungie.
