Re: Come for a ride to work.
That is really a great video! I never took my big trucks to that level, but your's has been so well refined that I watch it and I say to myself... "Who Wouldn't drive that to work every day" ... One thing I might question is why you are driving on the wrong side of the road? That looks sooooo dangerous!

Re: Come for a ride to work.
Hi everyone, sorry I haven't replied..... I've been going straight to Marts youtube channel ! Over the Christmas break I adjusted the lifters, yes adjustable lifters, thought I'd better check the clearances since the truck has 8000 miles on it now. The truck is the product of two, one bought in Roma in '96 and another off a property just out of Chinchilla in '97. The patch panels I bought from Northern Classic Trucks fitted very well.
Mercman, I'm in Forestdale. I'm a member of the Heritage Truck Association. ex Mack Trucks Australia employee. I see there are a few FTE guys here. Regards to all, Steve. |
