Default Mack M35
I've been kicking around an idea, probably won't do it, but have been think about building a Mack M35 prime mover out of an old Buddy L Mack. Any thoughts?

Don't even need to fix the front end if you don't want, looks kind of used that way.

Thanks Steve.

But nah, it'll be many months before I put this together as I have other projects in front of it. I would like to find narrower tires and wheels for it too. Got any pics of yours?

do not have yet . welll I bought 1 couple of years ago at a flea mart for my dad for x mas . I have seen the older 1 that has a steerable front with the handle coming out the hood and a seat on the body . Funny thing about this post is the other night I was going over with my wife building a m75SX for her . So it may get scratch built for realism . I thought the tires looked fine just the tread is of , but thats what we have

That is not just any truck, but a huge dump truck. My wife thinks I am ridiculous but tolerates it. When is this project being launched?
