She posed with the truck of cource but everything else looks very real.

Here's the link to the web side you want to see so much. http://www.commercialtrucktrader.com/find/dealers/Industrial-Truck-&-Equipment-Sales/2929682

The main reason of invention of open cabs was saving of a shipping space. Because all the trucks vent overseas under Lend-lease. If we speak about the way that Mack used about military orders there were N-series models those were all clear military. Plus to it Mack interrupted commercial trucks production from 1942 until 1944. As about other manufacturers many of them also produced open cabs and all wheel drive. For example great numbered GMC's. Or Studebacker US-6 that was 6x6 tactical vehicle. There was military Mack EH (as above) for sale in Australia some weeks ago.

Happy B day!

Kerosene is not good about cetane index although it works. Gesoline is extremely bad for diesel because of it's detonation character. As i read in a book there are different kinds of kero and the aviation kerosene (must read jet fuel) is not allowed for diesel engines. There is an arctik kind of diesel fuel in Russia (not avail. in the region I live) that is up to -60 Celsias. People say it's clear kerosene. As about here there are winter and commen fuels for sale. When temp. comes below water freezing (0 C) the winter one must be at stations. So we could have troubles tanking one day and driven some days later when colder time comes. Plus to it nobody might shure about how a fuel is good. So we usually apply some additives. And the most working one is "Hi gear" made in USA (?) There are also different kinds of electric fuel filter heaters those helpful. My car has a heater combined into cooling system so I usually have no issues. Added some antigell just once this winter.

My country's regulations require amber both sides because it's a color for all front and rear turn lights. When I asked on Watt's a guy told me there are original double amber R-model lights (round) for Australian market. Although I haven't ended up with that guy but ordered turn lights from Watt's online shop. So they are amber with red now. Will tell heart-breaking story to road police in the future or just try to order 2 spare amber lenses.

Welcome on here, we're all in love for Mack trucks

Ok, promise to not use German on here. Will switch on Dutch those times

Tom, confess, the first pic is also your art

I always liked the green one. On pics. What relation to Ireland the owner has (had)?

Superliner I and Superliner II.

Can't imagine how hard you must love dogs to put the hand on it each shift.

Too much for unrestored tractor. Too much for a dumper with rotted through body. Looks solid in general.

Paul, sorry, I'm not well educated about different American-made machinery as racings engines and gearboxes. If that stuff is so specific it multiplies chances to find some traces out. This way I'm not shure it's the best idea to inform lots of people you don't know about it all because the bastrads might "lay on a ground". From the other side you may ask some of your friends to start interweb "looking around" for any kind of that stuff hoping for somebody will make an offer.

Too funny to see KamAZ trucks on here, thank you. I used to observe them everyday as most construction and local transport.

Thank you for the story, too interesting. Sorry about the remaining family.

Happy birthday Rob!! Everyone on here says hello to you!

I just googled "INDUSTRIAL TRUCK & EQUIPMENT SALES" and found it out.

Congratulations on the successful ending up the deal

Some stuff looks interesting.

When you feel you hate to like anything it means enough

Don't you have a pair of L headlights with top parks? If I understand right LJX fenders and hood differs from LJ soft nosed?

Terrible! Hate those things. I think it would be good to visit nearest metal collecting points personaly. Scums get $1 for a piece that might be worth $50. Hope it will turns out for you.

Nice pic and the B. Have a fun with it! Vlad

Thank you very much! Tooooooooo interesting for me. Of course nobody in Soviet Union wanted to speak about that project. KamAZ plant was built. And works. And nobody wanted to stain the great achivement of Socializm with any facts of American influence! I might see Mack trucks on a streets instead of KamAZes... My God!!!!! Head in hands.... P.s. That city of Naberezhnle Chelney had a name of Brejnev (for some years after his death and until perestroyka).
