Junkyard Brockway? are you kidding me? have your guys hook that up to the Autocar wrecker and deliver it to my shop, where it will receive an in-frame,rods,mains,trans rebuilt etc. along with a total restoration!.....................awesome work,i'm liking that needlenose KW as well!..............................Mark

Very nice build,i like it a lot! did you paint the wheel centers? just curious as they look very realistic! nice work all around!...................Mark

Dennis,great idea for a project,the DM-600 is well suited for roll-off duty! I will sure be watching this one!.......................................Mark

Just completed a GREAT deal with vintagedragcrazy (Vince) went way over and above on his end of the trade,would not hesitate to trade with Vince at any time in the future,or recommend to anyone looking at a trade. Great communication,super fast shipping! And a credit to our hobby! We've traded in the past and it went just as smooth.............................Thanks again for a great trade!..................Mark

That's very nice work Angelo! I want a set of those decals as well,i was wondering if they were nice,looks like they are!. is the gold on top of the hood a decal too?............................................Mark

Dennis,the re-released DM-600 kit represents a pre 1972 cab,so the factory interior (with few exceptions) would be a mint/light green color (Krylon "Sea Glass" is a close match) Late in 1972 into 73 the steeldash was changed to the more modern style "plus 3" cab,most of which were tan inside.................here is a picture of a model with the Krylon color I mentioned (not my build,found on the internet)..........................................Mark

Very nice work! been looking over your recent posted trucks and I'm impressed with how realistic they look!............................................Mark

Sean,that is indeed me! just a younger,less gray haired version! that truck was a MONSTER! even at the time,i think I was 23/24? I deemed it "too much truck" for me! Lol!......................................Mark

Not a "KW Man" by any means,but that A-Model is SHARP! as a young driver,i had the opportunity to drive an A-Model early on in my career, 3408 Cat,14 speed spicer trans.,right around 750 horse to the drives,only big truck I ever drove with a 120 MPH speedometer in it!.....................................Mark

Sam,are you looking at that B-73 in Hunter? NC,the one on Craigslist? I saw that myself, The B-73 denotes a factory Cummins engine,sister Macks B-75,B-77 etc. are Mack powered with a few exceptions. It is quite poss. the truck came with a Mack "Uni-Shift" trans. (single stick 10 or 15 speed) if you can get a picture of the door tag,or better yet the VIN# I would be better able to tell you how the truck was built. If you DO end up with it,i can put you in touch with the Mack Museum,who can provide you with the factory build sheet,specs,original ownwer etc............................................Mark

Worked with another great member here on another trade Sean Davis (Old Buckaroo) thanks for a great trade Sean,much appreaciated!...........................Mark

Made a great trade with Mike Cashmon (Mopar Mike) fast shipping,great communication,all around good trader,i would recommend highly!.........................Thanks again Mike!

Made a great trade with Terry (Superpeterbilt) couldn't be happier with my end of the deal,would not hesitate one bit to do another deal should it come up,and recommend Terry to anyone as a great trader!..........................Thanks again,hope you enjoy the kit!....................Mark

Made a great trade with Shane (slammedi'am) as well,he went over and above on his end of the deal and was much appreacieated! would;nt have any hesistation to do another deal in the future should one come up and highly recommend as a trader!..............................Thanks again Shane! enjoy the kits!

Man o' man! that Western Star is sharp! how were the pinstripes done,decals?.........................................Mark

Angelo,as I remember the real truck frames were metallic gold as James mentioned...................................Mark

It bothers me the recent "trend" of ebay sellers breaking up a kit by the sprue/tree ie; cab,engine,interior etc listing them separately and asking RIDICULOUS prices for them! saw an AMT 72 Chevy pickup cab/body listed for $75.00 buy it now!..............................Mark

Here is the location of the air compressor on the ENDT 675 Mack gear driven early style...............................Mark

Mack interiors were available in both green and tan or any custom color from the factory,the interior in the DM-600 currently out should be green,best match I've found so far is Krylon :Sea Foam".........................................Mark

It saddens me to see what trucking has become,i am a 3rd generation driver with 3.5 million miles safe driving,so please don't tell me "it can't be done"! Todays drivers have lost respect for both equipment,weather AND common sense!!!!!! I agree the radio might have helped,but some of those trucks were doing 60 when they approached the STOPPED traffic!!!!................................................Mark

My wife said mine arrived today!.................................Mark

Lookin' good Sean! wish I had some more time to start on something myself,feel kinda bad about that,especially being the "Mack-Man" that I am! LOL!.......................................Mark

I remember that Western Star ad from "Owner-Operator" magazine back in the seventies,awesome build and color choice! looks great!.......................................Mark

Very nice work on the Mack! most DM's are vocational type trucks,dump,mixer,tank,wrecker,trash etc. Google "NYC Macks" for some great images and ideas for DM's........................................Mark

Outstanding! nice to see someone tackle a "real" Mack,killer work so far,i will sure be tuned in for more updates!................................Mark
