Hi Guys, I've got a 1979 R600 Cool Power. The drivers side chassis rail has a reasonable crack in the flange. Anyone know of where I can get another rail folded up or buy a second hand one. It's a 44,000 rear end. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm in Melbourne.

If you know what size rail your chasing I would ask on one of the Facebook Mack pages
There is plenty of R models about with buggered up cabs were the rails are only gunna end in the scrap

Worth a try I reckon
R models
F models
And just about everything up until the mid 2000's used a R model chassis in Australia

Whereabouts is the Crack & how bad is It..?? (pics will help). It might be quicker & cheaper to repair...

It's a BIG job re-railing a Truck..!!!

Is it legal to cut and join a chassis rail?
The reason I ask is that Lorry is an old style beaver tail where they cut the chassis, angled it down, welded and plated it. Now the guy who does the NSW rego said not to let Lorry run out of rego as he would then require a full engineers report to put full rego back on him.

So I'm guessing that it is illegal to cut and weld the chassis. It would be hard to hide the changes made to the chassis on Lorry with a close to 45' bend and a big flat plate hanging off the outside.
