  1. Oh, hell, probably some one cutted the front panel off the cab and welded back the wrong one
  2. I always suppose an easy looking truck pictures, especially for sale ones, isn't safe. Congratulations on the new baby. Now you'll need to continue keep it inside and build plans on how to paint the chassis. Looks shure nice and has a potential to be the best of the kind
  3. That sounds like a plan. Too hope you'll find time and power to go along.
  4. That MH on the pic #5 looks familiar. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/37081-freedom-mh/- isn't it? The green truck is sweet looking indeed and the authumn roads with leaves different colored - just a beauty. Thank you for posting.
  5. Don't remember where I pulled that out from, but shure some one posted it on here before. Vlad
  6. That above shure works.
  7. I disagree with you guys about that peach. I see nothing wrong if you grew up peaches on a pear tree and put lables on them when they still hang. California lables... Although what's matter what's written on them! Special thanks for the SGT truck. It wouldn't work as a Christmas card but will be kept in my 'puter. And Marsel, that wasn't me. I don't use to cruise US drive ways hunting for IH's to get them exported
  8. Hmmm... Looks like the time goes fast. When had you repainted Volvo in green and put the Vision hood on it?? Love the R.
  9. Many thanks for posting, that stuff is awesome!
  10. Looks cool How did you prepair the engine to paint? Power wash? Or sand blast? Vlad
  11. Never thought a H63 might be so tiny Good luck on quick getting the load.
  12. Nice work Sakis I remember when your truck was offered for sale in Holland and than there was a picture posted somewhere with the truck loaded into the trailer. It's good you showed out on here, too hope to see more of your project done in the future. Vlad
  13. Quite funny... It just might be the housing stamped with some figures has different content in it. If not I think the divider has to warm up pretty hot and is worn off to the moment. Would be tooooo interesting to know what he will find out observing the gears.
  14. Some Dutch heavy transportation company, don't remember wich one, rebuilt them in early days for their needs. I saw them on pics before, it was cool to catch up one in person.
  15. Paul, your surprize has a matter. In fact this show gathered the most of Macks and other American trucks all over Europe. There were shure not all of them although you use to see many of the same vehicles each every year. And I'm sorry to point out they are very rare to be shown out by the road.
  16. Ron, it looked to me like a kind of art work. Or maybe some reason of having no good hood sides. That LT was really nice and I have never seen it before. There's also interesting fact there were German plates on it. Not many German Mack enthusiasts use to show up. Unfortunately I missed a chance to talk with the owner.
  17. Some of good looking non-Macks
  18. Mack dag just means Mack day in the Netherlands. I had to make a 3 hour flight to visit the nearest to me Mack event. The weather was surprizingly good giving a clean day in between of rainy others. I too enjoyed the trucks and met two of our Dutch members Rene and Leon who just came back home after their trip to Gerhards and Trucktoberfest. Was shown of their pics from there. Here's the best of my camera's content. Vlad
  19. That above is interesting. Door frames and linings.
  20. Joe, our talk looks like off-topic although I continue because it might be interesting to others. First reason is that from the beginning of 20th sentury there were revolution, WW1, civilian war, than WW2 and the Cold war wich wasn't a war for shure although took a lot of labour and other resources. So people overhere started to live relatively good to have a serious hobby about 15-20 years ago. As we speak about trucks there was another and very strong factor. During socialist politic there was a basic princip of communism - prohibitation of private property for any production facility. Actually you couldn't register property of any commercial vehicle until about 1990.
  21. Big toys for big boys... Thank you for sharing.
  22. Good note about the tile floor. That's a car shop and it's located in the groung floor of the living house so the higth was limited. That floor cavit turned out much more expensive to dig off and water insulate than buy a modern car lifter. By the word I don't live in that living house but filled it up with shop tools and shelves full of parts.
  23. The last point was my current thought when i cut off the first corner. I could weld it back if not satisfied with the radiuses. Not shure the store folks would be too glad. By the word that sunk came three times more expensive than the one I have in my kitchen. Just needed the one with the closest to the sleeper corneres form. Don't worry about your wife too much. I currently have no dish washing machine and wash it myself. About once during a week. That's why I was figuring out so long about the corners to make of.
