Rob Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I'm thinking of painting my winch truck in the early 1970's paint scheme with the "stars and bars". Anybody got a good brochure from the timeframe they could scan so I can start with the layout?I don't think I've seen a truck painted like that since I was a kid but it would cojur up some memories at shows I'm sure.Thanks,Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

I need to be able to "scale" it for ratio and proportion. The one I've found on ebay is not detailed enough.Thanks,Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Mike Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 That would look great if Rob uses it for a paint scheme on one of his models.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/20957-looking-for-a-brochure/#findComment-88037 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Here you go Rob.Although I've never seen it I'm certain it is a wonderful product.I prefer a product called "Plumbers Butt Crack Caulk". It offers both an excellent balance of antibiotic action, and cheek stabilization in a single application.The foaming does take a bit of time to get used to however.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Rob Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Oops, wrong picture, here's the one I meant to use.That is the shot I was looking for. Knowing the badging measures right at 2.125" in height would put the size of the stars right at 5.25". These trucks all used the smaller "MACK" badging when common.I'm thinking the sides had seven stars down the sizes but this was with the smaller cab design. I may place an eighth star due to the three inch longer cab. I'll lay it out and make the determination.Thanks,Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

rhasler Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I can't remember where I found these three pictures at.

No more young chicks coming by and shouting "crack kills!" when your bent over!

Rob Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Here is the brochure I'd seen on ebay. It is pretty close but if better is available I'd like to have a copy still.My truck has "Budd" hubs on the front but I think that would work alright.When is the last time anybody seen one of the original trucks with this paint job at a show, or working? I haven't in several years but remember them well when I was in middle school during the early 1970's.ThanksRob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
