  5. Heres pretty much the final pic's of the Mack C i've been working on the last couple months. it's pretty much done..(lil things to do yet, plow angle hoses/manifold , some touch up work.) hope you like. Scott ps all pic's were taken with the camera in my HTC EVO... I wanna thank Dave @ AITM for all the neat little gadgets on it.
  6. LOL, hey matt dont bust the cummins to hard, we had a 350 big cam in our 76 359 that made 565 to the ground. i cant say how fast it was cause it pegged the speedo. had a heck of a time with the heads move n roound on the block, ( we threw 42 lbs a boost in her, that was a contributing factor..lol) i like the 60 series in the ford , but a buzzin dozen would be neater...Hee hee Scott
  7. This is sitting in our yard for storage, he has since put 7" bull haulers on it. Scott
  8. I did not experiance this first hand, this was a late good friend of my dads deal, he was known for very odd loads what you see is his truck and trailer about to be loaded as a whole unit in to this transport to be flown across the country by the military. the crate contains the mirror/lense for the hubble telescope..(i believe it to be the replacement for the flawed first) they winched the whole unit into the cargo hold and then out. he also hauled space shuttle parts on a reg basis and went thru the same trip with one of the engines to one of the shuttles also. i will try to get some more info from my dad and add it later. the whole truck was loaded because the crate was temperature controlled hense the genset and fuel tank on nose of trailer. Scott
  9. Few more pic's of the C dump/plow. got a few little things to do yet and its a wrap, plow and spreader hoses, plow lift chain, mirrors and turn sigs. mud flaps. and warning beacons Think im gonna load this on a lowboy behind a B model i'm getting ready to build. Thanks for looking, Scott

  14. 8V71 vs 8V92T Blue one is 8v71, yellow one is 8v92T(minus manifolds and turbo) amt/ertl KW areodyne as does the GMC general has the 92 easy to tell diff. 92 dosent have the big observation plates /ports in side of block...biggest gripe for me is the VC's are all wrong on the 92's i wanna make the correct ones. i have a 6v92 in my general and my 352, gonne try and model them off of them.

  20. Heres a few pics of the Mack C , getting there, int. done, cinder trough, spinner mounted, cab painted, bed needs finsh paint, been messing with it along with the twin steer astro. happy with the results concidering it was mostly a scratch build. Scott
  21. Thanks guys, the frame is now red, the wheels are red spokes with white rims,(some of um, have to hand paint um due to depth) i must say it looks real good. the cab will be white and red. i will post pic's next week when i get back. now i can start plumbing the steering and hyd. still a ways from dropping 16V in , waiting on turbos and styrene to plumb exh, and manifolds. i will do some checking on the stripe designs to see what i might like. thanks for the ideas. Scott
  22. Hmm, hows this sound? red frame, red and white cab. red spokes, white rims. red and white trailer. with color same spokes and rims. no chrome, all painted.
  23. Hi Guys, im at the point in this project where i need to get color on the frame, wheels ect. i cant come up with a color scheme. i need opinions. it is a work truck, but i want it to stand out also. wheels same as cab. its gonna pull a lowboy beam style trailer with the payhauler 350 on it. heres some pic's as too where it stands now, any ideas will be gratefully accepted. Thanks Scott
  24. Hey,thats pretty cool, the one kinda resembles the plate found in the galaxy fith wheel trailer kit. their mounting is less than desirable.thou.(galaxys) Scott
