Yes, Brian from a Exclusive RC is making the emblems and I believe he will be offering them in his store in the near future.

So Brian finished printing the tanks, breather and grille. Did some additional body work and re shaped the roof, painted it and topped it off with some scale emblems and bulldog. I couldn't be more happy!

I brought it back to the garage and mounted it to the frame, made a front bumper with some rookie lights and a grille guard. Cut out a rear emblem, mounted some lights and mud flaps. Added the stack, windows and started on the power train.

Coming along I think.

Brian is working on some headlight buckets, printing some emblems and painting the breather. Oh and maybe some Dayton rims!

Really sharp looking truck. Gotta love the old iron! Will there be a period correct trailer for it in the future?

Thanks. Well I originally built it to be hauled around by my Ultraliner, but I do think I need a wagon for it. I'm thinking a round nose box trailer for it should be about right.

Thanks Lynn, yes the frame is going to get painted. I'm in the process of adding the trans now and a pogo stick, then I'll paint the frame. Lots of little details to add yet.

A period correct outside frame rail flat bed or van trailer 40 to 45 ft tandem or single axle would be killer

Here is a picture of my Grandfather in around September 1937 with one of his Mack's and I believe a Trailmobile trailer. I think I might go this direction.

I also like this style trailer.

I would think the period correct length for the old Mack would be 32' to 36' trailer a lot of single axle and some tandems...

Yes Wayne, my grandfathers trailers were 30'. I've started a scale trailer for it about an hour ago, it'll be 24" long, round nose and 6.5" tall hopefully will look like the orange one.
