I put together an assortment of "east coast" (NJ/NY) style trucks,two tone paint,heavy on the pinstripes and hand-lettered...............................Mark

Wonderful reference pics! thanks for posting these......................................Mark

Terry,a good friend of mine in NJ actually owns a former Edgecomb Steel A-Car,here it is pictured at an ATHS truck show circa 2000...........................................Mark

Made a great trade with Doug Spencer AKA Mr.Mopar,great communication,and a smooth deal all around,would not hesitate to trade again anytime!...............................................Mark

That's a very sharp truck,i also remember the O/O magazine ad Sean refered to,been a long time,but one classy looking rig for sure!.............................Mark

I agree,1940 Chevrolet "Special Deluxe" coupe......................................Mark

2nd pic. is definitely a "K" series IH,not sure exactly which(KB 6,7,8 etc.) without being able to see the badges....................................Mark

That's exactly why he's doing it Clayton,i tried to talk him out of it (I woulda had him buy a Mack) but the deal on the WS was too good to pass up!...................................Mark

Here's a buddy of mines KW,about two more weeks and he's getting a new Western Star.............................Mark

Always glad to see someone doing a Mack! I really like Firstgear trucks,i have a ton of them,never occurred to me to re-do one,but now its on my "to do list" which seems to get longer by the day! Nice work on these,they look great!..........................................Mark

Might be just the lighting in the picture,but that looks an awful lot like "school bus yellow" to me?...................................Mark

How about this guys? it arrived yesterday! been wanting this one for a long time,made a GREAT trade deal with one of our fellow members Doug Spencer AKA Mr. Mopar..........................................Mark

Made several great trades recently,all went off without a hitch! thanks again guys! ................................................Lucas (Trick My Mixer) Roy (madhorseman) Cameron (QuickGMC) Mark

Some fantastic builds for sure,i have to say this is my favorite,knowing the "real" truck,this is one accurate model AND it's a Mack!........................................Mark

Clayton,did you notice the CL-9000 turned into a Freightliner before they destroyed it in Armed and Dangerous? always thought that was funny!.....................................Mark

Nice score Sean! not being a "Ford Guy" I always thought the CL-9000 was a sharp truck,my next-door neighbor in Jersey actually drove one just like the box-art only it was a single sleeper..................................Mark

Personally,i like the blue (second in from the right) will you be using spoke wheels?.........................................Mark

Very cool Farmall! my Dad was leased to North American for a little over 40 years in their electronics division,me,I was with Atlas for 22 years,so the moving and storage industry is near and dear to me!.........................Mark Sean: And drom boxes were mostly used for what movers call "overflow" (what doesn't fit in the trailer) and a lot of "oddball" items (bicycles,patio furniture,garden tools etc.) every inch of room in a moving van counts,so there has to room for everything,if one truck has to leave something behind,it's money off the bill! many guys also used their droms for excess equipment Pads,dollies,hand trucks,packing materials etc. hope this answers your question.........................Mark

Tom,i think it would be sharp to run 10 holes on the steer axle only,then color co-ordinate the spokes on the drive axles,a little of the best of both worlds? just an idea,really like your idea for this build too,a very unique truck!...................Mark

Sean,these AC Bulldog kits are a real joy to build (and I mean that in a non-sarcastic way) very well engineered,good fit/finish and really capture the 1:1 with minimal effort,i highly recommend them!.................................Mark

Terry,glad to help anyway possible,i have a lifetimes worth of Mack literature,brochures,spec sheets etc. at my disposal!....................................................................Mark

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I will be watching this! I have a few on deck (Macks) but not sure if i'll be able to join in (duty calls) but any of you guys feel free to pick my brain Mackwise should you need any pointers! or info...........................................................Mark

I was wondering if anyone here has used this or a similar paintbooth? I lose so much modeling time over the winter (when I should be at the bench) due to not being able to paint. I am thinking of purchasing one of these units and wondered about pros-cons? or even worthwhile? opinions welcomed!.................................Mark

I have seen this truck at several shows and Leo is correct,the cab/sleeper are separate,the cab tilts as it usually would there is a boot between the two............................................Mark

Trying to find a good kit source for 1/24-1/25th scale D-ring towing shackles like these?..............any help would be appreacieated!...........................Mark
