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

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

Re: MACK Heavy hauler
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. Travis

Re: MACK Heavy hauler
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... -Mike

Re: MACK Heavy hauler
Mike I am glad you know how to kid around thanks for the laugh and your truck should be real sharp especially if it looks just like your signature pic.

Re: MACK Heavy hauler
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?????
