The Brush Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Hi, AITM cab & frame with 34,000 lb suspension kit, shortened the frame, Front of pic, fitted pins to tanks , battery boxes etc, Helps for a strong joint in final gluing, Wheels are from M&G mouldings - modified to look MACK like. I pivot the suspension to make sure the wheels will sit on the ground. Also added basic plumbing. Front axle is metal from KFS.

leafsprings Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Great subject matter, one of the kings of classic trucks! Everything looks right up to the high Mack standards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1955 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 A truck I know well, my father was a long haul trucker, his company was small and modest and used Mack B's. You couldn't pick a better subject matter to do a big rig, they used to be everywhere. As a boy, I remember climbing up into my father's truck and in summers, his employer allowed drivers to take their kids along (amazing the insurance company permitted it). On long trips, I slept in the sleeper and recall hearing him crunch through the gears while listening to country music on the AM radio and smelling his pipe. And of course I loved the great food at truck stops. I look forward to seeing your progress on your project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
