Chuck Most Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Not sure if a '26 Bulldog is still considered a big rig in this day and age, esepecially when it's perched atop a 1-ton chassis, but here goes anyway. Just wrapped up this one about 2:30 in the morning earlier today- It's a '26 Mack on a Monogram F-350 Chassis. The wheels and tires came from an AMT Kenworth 600 glue bomb, and the flatbed is from an IMC/Lindberg Big Rig trailer kit (the one that came with the L-700). I swapped a 4-bbl. carb onto the engine to replace the stock 460's EFI, and used the stock Mack steering wheel on the F-350 column. Of course, everything was weathered and aged for the proper effect!

Chuck Most Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Thanks, guys! Now it's on to that stupid White-Freightliner dual drive again! Unless I get sidetracked. (Again.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixties Sam Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Nice job, Chuck! Looks like it had a hard life. The seat looks a little too clean, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Nice job, Chuck! Looks like it had a hard life. The seat looks a little too clean, though! I feel the same way... about the flatbed! Of course, I can always go back and dirty it up, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Best thing about this model- since the F-350 no longer needed it's bed, I could use it on my CXT Paystar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Albion Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Chuck, Very nice build, very impressed. The old Mack in its day would have been a big truck. So yes you have posted it in the right place. When you look at the old AC Mack you can see why the British Tommies in the First World War called them Bulldog Macks. Of course the name stuck and thats where Mack got their Mascot from. Great Work Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Work Dave Even my mom, who knows absolutely nothing about Mack trucks, thinks the old AC looked like 'a bulldog or a pug' in her words! How many other trucks have such a rock-solid, built in marketing tag like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
