  1. Cool. Interesting single headlight arrangement. Should it not be rectangular lights? Or is this a "Fleet" spec kinda thing? Or something someone rigged up along the way(likely)?

    The head lights is the ugliest thing in this rig.

    There probably was some accident and they fabricated the light panels of plywood with the most locally commonly used bulbs.

    So my list includes head light buckets.

    I think it was on ebay not so long ago.

    Maybe her brother ? (or sister?)

  2. Nice!

    It is official now, you have a collection!

    Check out this site. Type in the trans model and they may have a parts book for you in pdf form which may answer your questions with some pictures.

    Thank you for the input although looks like I need to work over the Mack stuff, not Fuller.

    The linkage is an Ultraliner feature, I think it's the same for any or most gearboxes in it.

  3. I'm too afraid not.

    When you talk about side gears do you mean an upper (bewel) gear set?

    If yes you need to set the position of the gears to each other to get a correct contact area, also you have to set the bearings pre-load.

    A lot of work, I'm going to get over it one day but I have no chances to find ready rears of the kind I need.

    Much more easier to swat just diffs. You need to get them out for rebuilt anyway.

  4. Pretty cool lot of pics this time.

    Two sheeps had blue balls.

    No, two sheep had no balls, I remembered the correct grammatic.

    Too surprized seeing so much snow in your area, we already have it gone for a couple of weeks with about 60F now.

    Neat collection of the truck shots, I also noted the city of Winfall stayed good.

    And too hope the cabbage plantation will keep fine.

    Don't forget to let us know how they will being in the future.

  5. The Lovemachine truck was custom built here in Moscow.

    The guy painted and printed the decals for and made a lot of detailing.

    He showed out here once, asked for advice over the gear box.

    And MH was also done here by the other chap.

    Hi used AIM cab, filed and filled it hard though.

    Than built the double steer 4 axle Aussie chassis.

    He also looked an advice here but for that chassis.

    With no luck if the memory served me good.

  6. This interesting set up with riveted pads looks strangly familiar to me.

    Because I worked out the same stuff in my army truck.

    Those rivets didn't make a trouble because were not straight through rivets. Each pad fixed to its own leaf.

    I had one broken leaf in one spring in the "project" truck and planned originally to change it.

    But when I bought the "spare" truck I first realized to not change one leaf but whole the spring.

    And next I resolved to change them springs both to keek them off the same vehicle.
