Tesla Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) I started this build with a DM600 chassis which required two frame splices. Not happy with the results, I decided to scratch build a frame: The winch tower that I constructed is a highly modified AITM with provisions for hanging chain binders and chains: That's all for now...

redneckrigger Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 My absolutely favorite Mack.......................the R700. Very nice frame...........I've got to try a scratch built frame some day. This is shaping up to be a great build. Keep the updates coming, and Merry Christmas!
