    that picture with big camels is amazing. The single axle F-model with a trailer and black plates was Netherlands registerd.

    I'm almost with Keith. That's a standard grille for Eastern R700 with longer hood relating to R600. Sure it was used on F-models originally but fitted to R700 for some reason. If you look at the pic of red truck above you can see the hood has a rib, a kind of a pedestal over the grill opening where the grill attaches. Eastern R600 nor Western RS/RL600/700 never had anything like that. White R600 with red and black stripes has different grill which doesn't have big framing. In fact that one fits straight onto the intercooler and stays in place while the hood tilts. The spoken R700 grill goes down together with the hood when tilting.

    A vendor could put Mack part# for Mack. It could even put Mack logo on, just being not allowed to sell such parts.

    No Jim, you ain't right. Here is the other side

    Just much less job and more show out.

    Your attention to my interest is very appreciated. Thanks. I was thinking to fly to the big land for the truck event this august bit the deciese mixed up the kards. Might be good to me since I need to collect more resources for. On the other hand we all know it's not a good approach to move plans to the future.

    Or even just don't see any notable difference between the before and after.

    I'm afraid Mack Museum wouldn't help providing production info on Australian built unit. One thing I'm sure Superliner of model R721RS was never in production in North America.

    My bet is for another truck

    Thanks for the figures. It happened that I didn't find any of WS brochures to check out.

    As for the gap I would measure it and add shims. Maybe a little bit thinner than the actual gap is. Also might worth observation and light sanding of the mating areas of the bar, its beds and the caps. Local edges and other surface imperfections could limit cap's sitting position.

    A question of another field - are you going to keep the spindle ends of the trunnion bar as they are on the picture? I mean just blasted? Suppose they will ruine the bushings pretty soon. Removable bar allows to put it in a lathe and be machined. I did that but than had to fabricate new brass bushings to the size the bar turned out.

    My Canadian R had a carpet on the floor and the inner side of the firewall was also carpeted. The vertical part was attached to the sheet metal by steel clipses.

    Looks like a R-model type door part. So could go to R, RW, DM, U, F etc. A seldom damaged part but I had to swap a pair rebuilding my truck.

    Looks really well-cared. BTW does anybody know the higth of Cruiseliner measuring over the cab's top?

    Nice! Your black and white memory card does good job

    Wow! Many thanks for sharing. Definitely a place I should find possibilities to show up and explore myself. Getting worldy is a nice deal, isn't it Tim?

    What a nice little baby! Looks like a fun to play with. Might be shaky hitting a road but a kind of pleasure on my mind. Glad to see you back on!
  19. Vladislav
    Have a Great Day! Or at least as smooth as it could currently be.

    Very impressive equipement and nice scenaries I'm not getting upset to be looking at. Really nice to hear from you Tim. Hope you're doing well during the lockdown and get a use for the time. Here we are also locked but not really tight. Many folks continue doing current jobs including truckers and many small businesses which can work behind closed gates. Same with me tinkering with old Macks and selling a part for MB from time to time.
  21. Vladislav
    Ok, that makes sence.

    There was a couple of R-model cabs offered for sale recently in the "Parts for Sale" forum on here. Not for free though.
  23. Vladislav
    RM is a kind of a DMM without offset cab.
  24. Vladislav
    Upps... That's funny.
  25. Vladislav
    looks like a good deal. But sounds a bit extreme about the price tag. Are they 38000 or 44000lb springs? And was it a trouble to find a pair of good used Camelback springs off a R or a B-model? I doubt you would see any difference between new and used springs in a hobby truck as long as they're not initially brocken.
