    This was a very fun build one I’ve dreamed for many years and now another model off my Model Bucket list. I want a look like the truck just was delivered from the Mack Dealership. I appreciate all who supported me and your encouraging comments. Thank you. Enjoy the pics. The interior

    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

    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.

    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.
  22. Pete68
    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.
  25. Pete68
    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.
