This dog has left the Puppy Mill and now is under glass section. Thanks guys for all your support and great comments.

Yes it did instructions shows mounting it at the top of the tailgate 😂 first time you slam that gate you probably blow a the light. Brian thanks for your support on this build and comments.

Thanks Ron I appreciate your support

Little more progress today. Built the mirrors and made a Grass Burner Exhaust and added the mudflats. I also added a light on the salt spreader I remember these when I was a kid salt trucks having them

Thanks I have the line drawing the others will help if I decide to take it that far.

Busy morning today the plumbing is done mounted the Cab/Hood to the frame added the emblem hardware, Cab Lights and turn signals.

Your welcome Brian and your updates look great.

Thanks again Brian I didn’t think I could pull it off

Thanks Jeff I appreciate it

Last update for today. Completed the Control tower and added it. Added more details to dash including warning decals. Painted PTO knob and picked out the gauges. Made a RD bumper for it by adding some tread plate to the top of a DM bumper. Did a quick mock up to insure fit before painting. More updates tomorrow.

Thanks Ron I appreciate it the way this kit fights me I wonder if I would be at this point.

Brian thanks for the nice comments I didn’t think those scraps would make it that convincing. I appreciate it.

Thanks Gary I appreciate it. Glad you stopped by.

Looks nice Jeff the masking is perfect. This just keeps getting better.

Made some progress today. First I made a scratch build Operating tower the two pieces of frame I cut off and the Trolley break handle this was ordered this way with out the trolley brake and some other levers I found. Still have to paint and add some more details. I painted the Interior the darker tan Mack had and the seats a light tan. Built the salt spreader and other Dump Bed components. Thanks for looking in.

I agree Ken that’s my favorite look. Going to do the same on my Mack R too like it just rolled off the dealership. That thing is looking great Ken I like the mudflats.

Thank Brian me too.

Well I have a rolling frame now. I wish I would’ve used my older kit tires these tires a like working with mush. They are way too soft for my liking. Next I’ll be working on the details on this chassis.

Nice updates Charles wipers look great I like that pumper body looks good sitting on there.

Yes they are I don’t remember them being such a challenge like this one has guess because of the molds are wore and I’m not as patient and my hands don’t listen like I was 45 years ago either 😂 Thanks for dropping in hope to get a lot done today.

I like your updates Ken those quarter fenders look nice.

That’s good glad you found one. Your truck is shaping up nicely

Hey I was thinking today I have one more place to look Jeff. I’ll go out to the garage in the morning and look.

Thanks for sharing that Scott would like to have liked seen that. St. Louis Mack had the Mack script like on the side of the hoods in big red letters on the front of the building facing Jefferson st. Dad said in the 50s the show room always had a couple B models in the show room and at night they would have lights on them the way he described made you feel like you were right there. They move from there to Saugett Illinois. My old boss bought 43 brand new CHU613 and 2 CHX613 off the lot from there the year before they moved.

Thanks Ron I like the grey too and your right some of these old Maxidynes leak like Detroit 😂
