Got the frame lengthened ,I was able to source another DM600 kit that was missing a bunch of parts but had the frame rails ,so I used those ,reinforced with some brass strip. I had these 2 hole Budds for awhile so I thought I'd use them on this ,front end pretty much done with brake chambers,drums and the hubs ,,,on to the rears then we'll throw some air lines in and paint

Looks good, Scott.  Where are you getting your drive tires from these days?  Looks like rubber (silicone?)

Those came from Paul ST Supply ,,I have used Jamie from Moluminum also ,,but I doubt if he'll be producing anymore with his health issues ,,recent amputations and I hear getting prosthesis so thats good,,,yeah never know maybe eventually he will be back in the game

I just got some from Paul, about a month ago, and still have some of Jamie's, which are just amazing tires.  I hope he gets back, and well, too.

Looks great, Scott, and good job on covering up the joints from your frame lengthening.  Did you use the CTM air valves again (or have some left over from last truck build)?

Thanks Brian,,yes the CTM brake valves,,,I didn't get too carried away ,,just relay valves in the rear and a quick release mounted on the front crossmember...you won't see much of the rears anyway with the body on

I updated the kit engine to spin on oil filters and also added engine mounted and frame mounted primary and secondary fuel filters ,,cab is painted ,,I just sat it on there for the pic,I also used the dash from the R685 kit to update the DM 600 dash which was the early roundish style ,the interior will be the beige/brown traditional Mack colors of that era
