Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
Started painting it today..
Black frame ,Mack green cab and hood with black fenders, dark gray box, Need to put one more coat of green on the hood and then I will mask off the fenders to get a clean edge. Next issue will be getting rid of these white budds and put on some real work truck wheels...Spokes!

The aluminum bar stock under the box are 20mm tall by 7mm?(same width of stock frame rail) I did not make this cab. I bought it off eBay. It's a shapeways cab and hood. Here is a pic of the progress tonight,

Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump
Added a few more things today... New tread off road tires for the rears, I locked the forward tandem so now both are locked in full time... It still turns good surprisingly. Added my spare set of exclusive rc Mack mud flaps. Made the glass for the cab, installed mirrors visor and front radiator guard. New side boards for the box.
I Hauled some salt and snow with it and it does pretty good thru snow. Need to put some chains on the box for spreading salt better.
