Hi Folks, I already asked for advice on another section of the forum and people were most helpful. So I guess I had better introduce myself.... I have had a passion for US trucks since I was a gleam in fathers eye. He was a driver. At the age of 13(1978) I went and found the UK importer of Mack trucks, they were in Bolton, near to where I lived in Manchester UK. Anyways I hung around, took photos of the trucks, got sales literature, joined the Mack Club of GB and bought the T Shits, jackets, holdalls etc. I intended to become a truck mechanic when I left school, but the recession was on and there was no jobs to be had, I wasn`t old enough to drive trucks, so this would have been a great way to learn the ropes....I drifted off into different careers and into motorcycles, but the Truck thing was always there. 8 Years ago I got a REO 6x6 and restored it, took 12 months to do so, with the help of my wife and sold it at the the first Auto show I took it to. Now, 33 years on from 1978.....I have realised that childhood dream, I have bought this A 1978 F786 To say I am the happiest man on the planet is an understatement, she needs a bit of work, but all mechanical, so no worries about the cab with rust etc.
