Founded through a love of the Bulldog brand, DJF Truck Parts Australia was started by transport operator and Mack enthusiast Dallas Fabian.
It specialises in parts for older Macks ranging from 1960 to 2007 models.
Dallas’ love of Macks was sparked early on, leading him to purchase his first – a B-Model Mack – at the age of 17.
Today he has a collection of 18 Macks. Seven are working models used as tippers to service his transport business DJF Haulage and other 11 are his collection of “old girls”.
Dallas is the proud owner of three B-Model Macks including the first one he ever purchased, which he says is part of the family now.
The launch of DJF Truck Parts was a natural progression for Dallas, who began importing Mack parts when he bought his first vintage Mack all those years ago – first for his beloved B-Model and then for his other Macks too.

From his home base of Mangrove Mountain on NSW’s Central Coast, Dallas sells everything from Mack driveline kits, engine rebuild kits, replacement air manifold, cab parts, window winders, door handles, interior trims and more.
“We sell nearly all the parts for Mack’s R-600 and Super-Liner models. And all the parts you can’t get any more we manufacture,” said Dallas.
Among the newer products available at DJF Truck Parts are complete loaded R-Model Mack dashs, available in beige, grey and black, which are built entirely from scratch.
And as Dallas explained, these have been a real hit with his customers. “They’ve been really popular. I have nine on order that I’m building up for customers at the moment.”
Also available are aluminium replacement air manifolds for the firewall on Mack CH, CL, CX (Vision), Superliner LT, Titan or Trident models ranging from 1997 to 2007. These are manufactured in-house and are designed to replace the plastic housing, which can wear much more quickly. They are sold in a kit that also comes with three new low air pressure switches and a mounting gasket.
