Re: Mack DM800 Dump
The plow will look great. Then all you need is a guy next to it leaning on a shovel and it will be a true state job.
Can't wait to see how you make the plow.

Re: Hayes HD Dump Truck - Take II
Those are some great looking wheels. This is going to be a great truck, I always liked the old Hayes, they were pure work trucks.
