The first couple of pics I thought I was looking at an actual GMC astro brochure....very impressive!!

WOW! AWESOME BUILD

some nice pics, thank you!

I would like to see a CH model mack and a f model mack also a more common tanker than the one amt has out now...im not complaining about the tanker we have now, its just a rarely seen unit now a days.

if I'm not mistaking that truck was designed to be a rolling class room. the big sleeper is where all the students sat..i remember reading about this truck years ago.

what a shame, I used to love cracking open a beer and spending hours on that site on a snowy or rainy night.

wow! a blast from the past. my dad hauled a lot of beer out of that brewery back in the early 70s. some times in the summer I would ride with him...that brewery and I think it was piels real draft in the Bronx also we would go...back then you would still see some of them old white 3000s running around the city.

not by any of the major model companys but there is an after market resin 1/25 scale b model and other mack models by a resin castor called aitm, American industrial truck models and he's right in your homestate of nj. you'll have to by a mack r600 or dm 600 kit for a donor kit. he also sells engines trans, tires amd much more...check him out, www.aitruckmodels.com

yes .

all depends on what the customer would have ordered...freightliner came with just about any suspension airride, reyco, Hendricks. and others in the 70's..i hope this helps you.

no problem.

I see some members building these on here so I thought I would throw some pics up in case someone needs a reference pic.i remember building this kit back in the day and one of the most confusing things about this kit for me was how the interior engine cover mounted so I included a pic of that as well just in case someone else has the same problem. we still run a couple of them in our fleet .they used to be cement mixers then were converted into water trucks. if anymore pics are needed of a certain part just let me know.

found this one sitting in a yard at the Philadelphia naval base.
