  1. Sad story. Interesting to know what a test stand will tell. Good luck on fixing it up.
  2. Looks very well. Shure it's good idea when you have good bodies.
  3. I'm shure it's good that you can keep her Ryan. If you sell it you'll want to get another one in the future, will buy it, start to work over and will remember about the nice truck you had and lots of work you have done to make her up the way you want. If you really feel one day you don't want to have such thing, you shure understand you don't want to continue and sell it without any doubts. If you doubt on this matter at least a little bit - don't do it.
  4. Really nice! Like a little ugly maus. Looks more "European". Budd N-model design is more expressive on my mind.
  5. It was cool! Too glad to see your progress. I'm shure all that story must be thankful to your wife. She vent to look over and the ball started rolling. As about the old fuel I don't think it can make troubles. Diesel is not a gasoline, doesn't loose its properties. So you may just filter it or stay in a drum for some time to wait for all the mixed up pieces fall down and that put it in a tank again. Or mix it with fresh fuel 50/50. Depends on how much fuel in tanks you have now.
  6. I also surprized when I saw those ugly monsters for the first time. On my mind they came into existance due to cooperation of different companies for the reason of saving import and shipping costs. I saw in the book the picture of a B model supplied to Europe with just no cab. Only the chassis with an engine, hood and cowl. Like AC bulldog in its standart complectation. But with the driver by the steering wheel!
  7. It looked great on the sunny scenary. So you shure spent the night for a good reason. Hope you enjoyed the day.
  8. Great looking trucks! LTL is right out of the comments. Thank you for posting it.
  9. Vinny, this bumper looks much better than the black one.
  10. She looks like the one of our members here. Althoght nice shots.
  11. Very straight looking truck Thomas, congrats on it. I always like R's. Although I just don't understand well the reason (or the form) of such registry. If I'd like to registry any thing I should describe and put in most properties of a subject. For the best it must be a VIN and everything else in a following. I think somebodies don't like to put a VIN by some reason although a model, a year of production, minor description and pictures should be included. Just my point of view.
  12. It's good you don't need to cut the tree at the left side of the yard
  13. How do you like the clutch pedal pad weared through? It really looks like 1,076,850 taking to account that most of you used to shift with no clutching. Maybe it means the driver vent up and down 4 times a day although the parking brake handle has the lettering in its place.
  14. I hoped you don't work hard on that matter because I was shure you had enough your own business. Although you gave me the idea to not restore all the photo and stretch it out from the spheric projection but make it up new. I might be cleaning up the original logo or just use the one you attached to. Anyway I'm not so far yet to repaint the air cleaner. I just plan how to do over R and sadly come into conclusion I should work it out completely, from the rear end to the engine.
  15. Cool! Glad to know you was involved in such action. I had to spent 36 years of my life to drive a Mack truck down the road.
  16. I sure like that Northen Vermont style. Beautiful dress with camuflage vest and the shot gun makes cool emotions. It's good to remember about for a long time. Mike, your son looks like he also did his day at the spring time, the best for such events Paul, the name Maxim is popular here indeed although I suppose it has Lathinic roots from "maximum". It means a one who named so is a sort of "high" or "great".
  17. I can't see the New Girl you announced as well as in you alboum. How long do you plan to keep her off any eye?
  18. Wow! Looks good. Not exactly original though useful. Hope you spent not a terrible lont time for. Thank you
  19. Thank you for the advice. I used to test and retest the stuff in my request because nobody will care about me recieving wrong choosed parts.
  20. Thank you for the sceneries. Ford 9000 looks a beast. The blonde is awesome, a really high rate. At least higher than those sheeps. Although I think last times such wimmins are being not with guys who ready to fill the tank or repaint her car. When we come too friendly to them they just turns ass side to us. Oh hell! Tom, what did you mean by the words "to fill her fluid tank??"
  21. Ted, thank you for the interesting story. I also have Canadian made R-model and would say I like the specifications wich Canadians put to that truck. Long wheel base, big enough and well insulated sleeper, big tanks and so on. I'm shure environment conditions in Canada and Russia are close to each other so it's typical to like Canadian vehicle's performances because they are so usable and comfortable here. The truck is for a hobby though.
  22. Paul, thank you again, I hope I can work this story out. I'll need carriage bolts mostly and many of them for whole a new wooden bed. Not ready for because I'll need them of different sizes I haven't counted yet. I should make drowings of a body and I started on it. Many questions came on a surface so I contacted Mack museum and wait for the info now. Mail shipping to Russia was too cantancerous when I tried on. Had to wait a parsel for above 8 weeks. Russia now looks and in many cases is a modern country although many state services still used to work their way as it was at Sovies Union times. With only difference they did nothing but asked tiny cost for and now they also don't make their job but the prices are market. I better put my friend's adress in Germany or Holland to recieve a mail and then pick it up myself there. Long time but I know it comes well. I think it's strange to learn such things in 21st sentury although it's the reality. I hope I don't need a catalog so hard, would like to sak you If I definitely don't understand anything.
