  1. The DM is also Mack's vocational chassis (DM stands for Dump/Mixer). The R-series is a more highway oriented truck.
  2. Should be an interesting build, Charlie. Where in New York is the actual truck you're going to go see? Is it at the FASNY Museum in Hudson?
  3. Nice choice on the 6V71T. Is that from Auslowe? If it is, be careful, the turbo crossover pipe doesn't line up with the turbo.
  4. Awesome job, Ray. I don't think I would want to be submerged in that contraption, but it's an interesting idea. We all live in a wooden submarine! A wooden submarine! A wooden submarine! (Apologies to The Beatles.)
  5. That looks awesome, Brian. Very well done.
  6. This might help some: http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/truck_brochures/marmon/marmon_coe_and_conv_1981/
  7. Very nice looking LNT. Great fleet truck.
  8. Since this thread hasn't been updated since 2013, I doubt we'll see thins one finished.
  9. That's the word on the street, anyway: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/131707-125-amt-wilson-livestock-trailer/
  10. No, not a ship. Two of the more famous whaling ships of the era are the Charles W. Morgan (currently at Mystic Seaport in Connecticut), and the Essex (sunk by a whale in 1820). The Essex was the inspiration for Moby-Dick.
  11. What? A Nantucket Sleigh Ride? It's what happens when you harpoon a whale & it tows you around the ocean! It's called that because most of the whalers from New England were from Nantucket.
  12. Thanks, Brian. Sleeping compartment in the trailer? No thanks!
  13. Kind of surprised that Round2 didn't Coca-Cola this one too.
  14. Interesting build. I like it. I saw somewhere (YouTube, probably) that the Tennessee Highway Patrol has a Peterbilt similar to this, but they use it to bust car drivers talking or texting while driving.
  15. Yes, Jacobus, I remember that front & I think I remember where you got it from; but I'm not on Facebook (and really don't want to be).
  16. I'd like to see that article if you can find it. I hadn't really considered the IMC/Testors/Lindberg van trailer, but I guess that would work, wouldn't it.
  17. Well done. Is that Forest Gump on the rear deck? Where's LT Dan?
  18. That looks great. Now you're really ready for your Nantucket Sleigh Ride!
  19. Nice turquoise. I like it. It is turquoise, isn't it?
