It really surprized, I'd say amazed me that some MH's took place on a production line up to the end of millenium! Who would have thunk! That white V8 with black stripe has very impressive look. And the museum truck is also remarkable having NZ configuration with double steer axles. Sure besides its #1 from the end. Unfortunately it was very difficult for me to get NZ and Aussie visa to catch a plane and come look at the trucks in your neck of the woods. And in the current reality it's about impossible. Hope the world will change to better times. Hi Vladislav, Yeah not much we can do about the people in the world who stuff it up for the rest of us!! yes the twin steer axles and tandem drive axles (8x4) is very very common here and has been for a lot of years in every part of road transport with being able to get a decent payload with axle weights. that MH was on logs and towed a 3 axle and or a 4 axle trailer pull trailer which is still a combination that is still an everyday use and in the last 10 or so years they've added a 5th axle to the trailers for more payload. cheers Keegan 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74101-kiwi-mack-rb688rst-rebuild/page/2/#findComment-584234 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Albert, Apparently you do not have dirt / gravel roads in Nu Joisey?????? Remember both New Zealand and Australia do!!! They even run triple trailer "Road Trains" on the dirt roads of the Outback...
