Default Little Forward Cab Mack Dump

Do I had this CAB milling around for a good bit - first it was to be a trash truck, then lost interest, then a tow truck and that lost some momentum. then it was to be a straight truck - and that wasn't fitting just right.

then I realized I didn't have a little dump truck - one of those that's just a throw together from misc. parts. Hardly pretty but big fun.

Chopped , bolted and threw her together over a couple nights (one of our four legged kids has been keeping me up late at night)

So here is what I came up with (note the fancy new rear tires What ya think?

Nice job Izzy! The tires look like they get great traction. Now we need a video. It would also look good with a plow on the front like the Macks they use in Chicago.

good looking MR model mack. I like your Rear suspension set up. simple but works. that should be a good off road truck.

I was kinda hoping to get it 4x4. But the semi tranny is just too big. I have a little splitter set up but I didn't want to give up my 3sp.

I can always swap it out later

BTW - the rear end is locked - just for off highway use.

Hmm - a plow sounds really cool.

I really like this! Unique and simple. What driveshaft did you use? I've never seen one like that before.
