mowerman Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 It’s a pretty cool color although it looks a little goofy on that thing thanks for that.. bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 To personal taste the 1st pic look is better. Or Mack green instead. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 It looks like it takes all the manly out of it. You know I’ve been out on the road since 1972 and I can honestly say I have only seen one girl in my life driving a Mack and that was in a video a few months ago.

Popular Post mattb73lt Posted April 9 Popular Post Share Posted April 9 I always liked these trucks. Never drove any, but was stationed with an Australian Special Forces Unit and they had a whole fleet of them at Tarin Kowt, Afghanistan in 2013. I didn't have a camera, so was limited in pictures I could scrounge of their trucks. All of them had air conditioned armored cabs. Other than the radiator, they didn't look a lot like those you posted. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 This how the armored ones are sold from the defense forces They cut the cabs and all the hoses cables and wires Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Wonder what was the reason? Don't they want for general public to own an armored vehicle? Here some kind of that matter takes place. A friend of mine owns WW2 German half track armored transporter. But its side sheets have 4 big holes cut at each side which were welded up with thin (common) sheet metal. That way the rig keeps historical appearance but can't be used by its original purpose. Sure the gun is inoperational. Cut in the barrel or so.

BOBWhite Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Odd question but is the top tank of the radiator cast iron like an old tractor or is it just a sheet metal grill? If that's cast Iron it would make a great Mack Shop heater! If I could find one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be thinking that is the case Vlad The world has changed a lot in the last 20 years and idiots are everywhere these days Terrorist attacks and the like I guess Funny how the world has changed so much, the Australian government was selling complete Centurion tanks not that long ago Guessing guns were made in operable, anyway no one cared Some people make a good living selling rides on the tanks thru off road courses, took my Dad on one for his birthday 10 years ago Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always cool to learn facts about your country. Many differences to what I used to be living in. But sure the basic things are understandable since the most humans are supposed to think similar ways. Putting aside some doubts on that we may have found from time to time. That must be cool entertainment riding a tank off-road. I had luck driving big tracked artillery tractor once. Generally in a lap deep mud over a nearly 2 km loupe. But had to attend military education cource in my university. Mostly for that mentioned reason 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could find one I was speaking to my brother today and asked him about the tank Top tank is cast but the name badge etc screws to a sheet that bolts to the top tank Dunno if its cast iron or cast aluminium We never got that far into talking about it Paul 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
