Re: Mack DM800 Dump
Looks great with all the extra details. I really like the way you captured the look of a old DM Mack. Hope your diffs are locked in because that truck should go thru anything looking that tuff and all.

Re: Mack DM800 Dump
Truck is bad ***. Would be even cooler with a plow hanging on the front like the old dump trucks that ran around NYC. I could totally see the truck pushing some snow

Re: Mack DM800 Dump
A snowplow would be cool, but you would have to go all in and build one with the wing plow and salt spreader. Maybe even make it so you actually use it for that purpose.

Chris[/QUOT I don't know, that maybe another build down the road. Don't see to many wing plows in NYC, but a highway truck would be cool. Maybe a Ford 8000 NYS thruway truck. Hmmmm. Quote:

Re: Mack DM800 Dump
A plow would be quite fitting for this truck. Seams every big township on the east coast had a large mack plow truck. I had a job about 15 years ago driving a RD mack with a plow. Never did find a drift that stopped it. Load up that box full with sand and keep your foot in it. That maxidyne pushed harder the more she lugged down on the RPMs. Ahhh...Good times back then!
I want to construct a removable highway plow for my green Mack 6 wheeler. With a full box of sand it can drive thru some snow. It would have to be made with a heavy blade so it can maintain contact with the road. |

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. Chris |

Re: Mack DM800 Dump
Hi, I am glad to see that you have decided to build/install a plow for that bad boy. I love plows. I have installed them on several of my vehicles/machines. On youtube I am mbrinc10. I don't recall seeing any plows on your other vehicles. Besides buckets on machines, blades on dozers, and your Blizzard SR, do you have any snow plows that we have not seen? Well if this is the first I am sure it will be nice. I am interested to see how you will raise/lower the plow and angle left to right. I know some of those older truck/plow setups did not even angle, they just lifted up and down.

Once again Reg, you nailed it. I've already started on the frame and lift mech so once I get the plow blade I'll be in business. Nice job! Can't wait. |
