I heard of doin what you gotta do to get the job done , but thats a new 1 to me funny how all the non owners reply . I wonder , how far away was the cat dealership or was it the case of can't fix the 375 till we get paid deal


thanks JD

Not with that company... that 375 is probably just one of a hundred that they have... vantagetes is based out Edmonton, Alberta.

I've heard of pushing dirt off a platform above the truck but that's a new one on me. I like that out-of-the-box thinking.

When I first clicked it, I figured the dozer would be taking a ride?
Hmm, silly me, I should know better, LOL!

It's an E max 2 speed trans . It works great , but, they're a lil big for a 14th/16th scale highway truck . It moved a good couple yards of fill today with the naggin tire issue but fun as H311

no I got a paint scheme in mind just tryin to figure out how to mask all the lil stars in it . I could send it to Spudd but I'll probably never see it again I got a few little details to do then I can paint it . Problem may be shutting it down to paint when the quarrying starts , guess I'll have to just throw some construction orange on it .

Volume wise, a ton (2000lbs) fills what area of your trk box Steve?

[Lmackattack]

Looking good. Right truck for the right job....

was this the paint job your thinking of?....

[ihbuilder]

Joe , I can get 2.5 ton (5000 lbs)in the dodge so a ton is level at the top of the wheel wells .

Mack , that's it where did you find the pic ? I've looked forever .

There was a thread on bigmacktrucks.com about the stars and stripes Mack's.
There also was a thread with all the real heavy off road Mack's think I had saved the pic after seeing it.

Reg will be proud not quite the right color but heck with it . I whant to do the bi-centenial paint but I'm going to build another , sooo

[Lmackattack]

Looking good. I have seen these macks painted in many different colors, dark yellow,red, white...it's not like the traditional cats where 99% are all yellow.

the m45's and m35's at a quarry I use to haul out of had close to this color . then a m45 front cut off at a show in lititz PA (Mack days ATCA )I went to was sorta Allis Chalmers orange . yea colors all over the place

Reg , get on your private jet and come down

[ihbuilder]
