  1. I'm absolutely with you Mick! Although it's not a true Aussie rig. The stylized one
  2. Licence off for 6 months for such things in my neck of the woods
  3. If not a big secret, what tire size do you have? Vlad
  4. Looks really beautiful As for me Google has never got that thing to my screen. And it's pretty shure the truck is not from my neck of the woods
  5. You folks are right about the Swanzey B. I had luck seeing it in person. It was for a show in Holland in 2011. I didn't do many pics of. It was not good located to the sun light and I missed my attention being walking in between of the treasures. The actual owner of it is from GB. About a year back or so he posted on here the story how he bought it from Swanzey and imported.
  6. Holy sh*t! Sorry to learn that. It makes thoughts for the future... Not a nice story at all anyway.
  7. The last figure looks like nothing anyway.
  8. Nice sceneries to live in Especially when they can make some income
  9. Maybe to put together all the 3 threads some way?
  10. There was one overhere. The guys who towed the MH to me had it in their yard to make a local job. Told it was British army recovery truck. Was imported from GB not long ago and redone into LHD RHD common steering. I looked over it having the reason to get it for the papers because nobody here can find a difference between Scammel and most old Mack. They rated that beast way toooo pricy.
  11. I'm surprized and glad there was so much posted along this thread. Thank you for the suggestions, I think you're right. I just can't me shure 100%. Only about 95 By the way I parted out totally one of those sleepers. Found neither manufacturer's marks. And the way it was built... The sheet metal all around was stainless excepting the roof. Wich rotted through as a follow. They "saved" a piece of SS using common shit sheet in the front under the entry (nobody can see behind a cab). Those storage door handles were located different by heigth about 10 mm (half an inch). Looks like someone cutted the holes for them doing no measurments, just "by eye". I'm pretty shure nobody had those redone, that was from factory.
  12. Thank you Mike. I just woner can I use the one above on MH (if it's for sale separately off the cab)? Maybe just to make a measurement from side to side? I remember you posted once the truck yard wich had some used MH parts in stock including cabs. I tried to email them and call also with no luck. Not too hard though, too many projects are going by.
  13. Can anybody explain about the sun visor on the cab - is it of the same kind wich used on early MH's? If yes I'd like to get a cost quote on. Any thoughts on the condition of those 4.17 diffs? Air lock? General view (pic)? Vlad
  14. Wow, looks like a good day I'm too surprized seing so many H's at one time. I'm shure not an expert of American truck market but keep my eye on them. What was the truck with the red cab next to two H's on the 3rd pic? The cab seems to me as British Scammel/Leyland. Aren't they rare beasts overthere at you?
  15. You just didn't note that gentleman payed attention to us first http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/36178-1964-b755/
  16. That air cleaner is one of the parts wich are on this truck fully restored. I had two of them on two trucks so I took the better one. Had to drill off the weld to take out the pipe to attach air horse because of rust in between. Sand blasted every thing separately than welded back. Had to weld some rusty spots. Brang to the paint shop where they primered it and put some overpaintable liquid seal onto every seam. Than painted it the future truck color. The straps were a different story. I bought 304 SS strips, formed them and polished. Drilled the old straps off the brackets. Sand blasted brackets and primered them. Than welded new straps to the brackets and after that painted the body color having the straps masked. Bought SS nuts and put everything together. All that took about 3 calendar months.
  17. Don't worry about that. A couple of years back Farmer52 determined all payments from Russia to do in Vodka By the word, do you still have access to those ex UPS MH's? I need some stuff for the my one but just use to keep this question outta my brains
  18. Pretty cool fire truck Maybe it's too rare indeed but I like it just for the big nose and the L-model cab. Shure nice addition to your collection.
  19. Would be interesting to know what they will tell.
  20. Interesting point about the girls who were looking for some wood... I like the MH and the train and the peach and so on and so on. And I too like to see the part of the world I have never been too. Thanks again. That polar bear is cool. Along my last big trip I also saw the animal.
  21. Wow, that looks like a good deal. Nevertheless the time spent. Hope the thing is in really good shape to just make up a bit. And crossing the border with such the load for $70... If I'd like to carry a trailer looking like the one on the picture from Europe to Russia I'm not shure I can do it having $7000
