Wow nice start !!! Glad ya decided to cover all that chrome , it looks much better in gold

Love the direction your going , especially the fins ! I agree the skirts throw me off otherwise its excellent

Awesome work It's always fun watching something out of the ordinary get built , and this certainly fits the bill

Kj might not be set back up for casting yet after a recent move , drop him a PM though to be sure . He was posting again I recently bought a set from Gary from gw trucks and very pleased with them very similar to the type found in the bill signs/can do kits

Awesome work on the chop , the proportions flow perfectly ! Watching this one

Now that's a good looking mud slinger , love all your added details

Nice looking parts! I was just looking at my 53 cab noticing how little detail the interior tub has ..looks like you've made a solution

Another good swap meet , always fun group of modelers to visit with. I even scored a 53 kit from a fella who was willing to sell it to me after buying it earlier a classy guy Just wish the state would finish the construction always ongoing thru there it's always a maze of detours and Jersey barriers

You can never go wrong w a green leaker

Very nice work ! The plus door and interior work are fantastic really stunned by the bench seat how you captured the pleats

Looking good from here ! Love the frame stretch Definitely cant go wrong with a Hemi !

Fantastic build and exceptional weathering , just enough to dirty things up yet completely serviceable

Awesome build and man that color is perfect for that body !!The Zman wheels really set the truck off excellent choice

Thanks vincen47 that's close to what I was thinking about, never dawned on me to check the RR sites . Thanks Ace for posting those also, either could be used for parts

Hey builders and lurkers ..lol j/k need your help. I recall reading about scale appropriate perforated photoetch for steps and such but unsure where . I've tried the normal search function and gotten the usual results.. Thanks for any insite

Awesome bike !!!! Man that's gonna work fantastic with your bronco

That's the one ! Theres a photo at the museum showing the grill it had an 800 series number , but my buddy said they were working on several features before closing

Awesome ! Hey John wasnt this truck unveiled at the SEMA show , they had a special on TV about it Cant wait to see you do your magic on it

Sorry I missed the mention of the superliner..that frame will work just fine for your build since ..and I'll probably start a flaming war now...that truck was built in 1977, RUMORED to be the truck the workers at Brockway designed . Theres photos of the truck getting mocked up with different headlight and hood profiles at the plant. Several workers said they had seen it before closing down..and are VERY proud of what they accomplished. but anyway I'll get off the soap box and grab my asbestos suit now..that chassis would work for your intended build .

If you wanted a road tractor , the reissued R model would even work. It doesn't even have to be a mack frame, anything would work . I have a freightliner coe saved for a 457 I fell for during the annual brockway homecoming show Once you start definitely post pics of the build we all love watching builds come together

I asked my buddy a wealth of brockway Intel and serious mack lover about the buzzing dozen offered in 760 and 761 they weren't offered, only the 762 . The 760/761 mainly had the 8v71

Ok I'll follow up on what jim mentioned. The 361 was offered w the 12v 71, and theres one currently in the museum on display. Heres a photo of that truck I took during our car show this year. Theres a great example of a 361 winch truck on aitm website showing what the cab can be turned into. It's a stunning replica of the Mountaineer owned by Tackaberry construction/hauling in Canada .This is the Mountaineer.. The photo also shows how the hoods opened, their a butterfly hood. The fenders are held closed ..they swing out..by a bolt in the back, and a pin in the front by the radiator grill. This allows easy access to the engine . To open the resin hood only requires careful cutting then adding support inside for it to rest on.. You could use mostly any available frame, many builders use the dm600 since the frames bowed out in front like the Mack's. I'm using a paystar 5000 frame for my newest Husky . Be aware some cabs wont come w cab mounts so those will need to be made or found in the parts box. Hope this helped

Phenomenal work of art and dedication to see the model thru to the end !! Well done sir

That's were I got the idea for this... I know I'd have bought one

Awesome hinge work
