Heres my completed R model . It's mostly box stock except the scratchbuilt Tuthill pneumatic vacuum/ blower system to run the bulk sand tanker that'll be attached later. 

Color is Tamiya Mica Red w semi gloss black frame.  I added half fenders from the snap KW, and susie coils from AITM. The cab mount cb antenna was donated from the IH 4300. The straight exhaust stack was removed and rebuilt w a turned style . Parts box driving lights were added to the front bumper also.

The decals were custom made made by Joe Shultz at diecast and decals.

Nice looking Mack, excellent work, like the scratch built blower unit, colour and decals just finish it off a treat, great job!!!

This is another build that pics don’t capture, the color/sheen differences in the tanks and stuff just don’t come thru in pics, but in person, the subtle differences really pop. Great build Jeff.

Now it's back to the trailer cause this truck isn't making any money sitting idle

the fenders, 2 hole budds, and all the valves came from Jamie at moluminum.  I added all the pipes from plastruct tubes.

Your attention to details is inspiring...not just with this build but all of them. I look forward to viewing them in person someday. Congrats on a job well done!! :D
