Default MACK Heavy hauler
Well I guess I might as well post this truck build since someone (Espeefan) keeps seeing it in photos of other projects. It will be a tri axle with SS front tires Stylin's pipes and sitting on Freddy's rails and painted black. Here are some pics of what I have so far.

What I started with.





The cab sitting to high





Cab lowered





Mock up before I cut the new frame rails





Thanks for looking.
Travis

Travis where did the body come from. It's not a tamiya. It looks like a regular kids toy is that right.

Yes it is one of the toys like you would get at the truck stops. Funny thing though the bumper mounting holes bolt right to a king hauler mount and the holes in the side skirts match up perfectly with the Areomax skirt mounts.

Heck yeah! About time you pull the covers off this project, Travis. You've got my attention. That cab looks great on there. Keep it coming.

Mike there are allso knock offs of the King hauler and the Areomax made by Amex toys not sure on the spelling. The King knock off is so close it will mount right on a king hauler and even has the holes molded into it for the light unit. I don't know who exactly makes the MACK body I have but I know they are hard to find. Pitbull here on the board has some.

Here are some pics of Pitbulls trucks.

Thanks Travis. Wow I am not really into T@#$% pink so we will call it Salmon, But the Salmon colored on is a nice looking truck.

Look at the little Colman Cooler!!!

I was just wondering where they came from. I drove a 1992 Mac Elite in '92 for Bud Meyer Truck Lines (No longer around) and I really think if I was to build one of them that would bring back all those feelings of shame I had while driving it... Not to mention my knees would start hurting again....LOL

They were not a very comfortable truck for a 300lbs 6'3" man...

There is nothing wrong with PINK... Yes the stripes are pink.. BUT the stripes are about 1/32" and they are few and far between... NOT the hole truck..


Moderation man... Moderation..

That's funny I work at CAT dealer and I don't have an engine to put in one and we have not had one at work for a while. Not to mention an engine and interior in a day cab I would say real close to impossible.

not impossible - best to get one of those speed controls that can fit in your tanks. Then a nice sized lipo in the other tank, Reciever under the seats or under the dash, steering servo in the motor, waite - where we gonna hide the drive motor?????

Hey can ya at least let me try to see if something works before everyone goes and try's it.... Besides Travis has that darn CAT YELLOW flowing in his veins so there is no reason for him to take the engine apart..

Which really is a good thing..have you ever had to have work done at a Cat shop...

Yes I do Travis, I just usually pissing people off cause they can't handle it back at them..

As for the Signature Picture.. That's the idea, I am going to try to get it as close to the picture as possible.
