Did they actually make these or has someone choped and changed it?

Timothy Maikshilo Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 There is a new one for me. Boy it looks neat. Have to ask our bugger in NZ if he has seen any like this.

umodelnut Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 If it has a gold motor I'm thinking it's a Mack motor, and I'm also thinking someone cut the front of the fiberglass hood off and put the steel one in.

Timothy Maikshilo Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I would like to see it with the hood open and right hand side steering is a good challenge! just think in the right state of mind!

Rob Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 It doesn't look to me like the hood can be opened without rubbing on the hard nose grille shell unless the hood either pulls forward a bit, or raises slightly.I kinda like it however.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Probably why there is no Bullbog though.

BillyT Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Looks like the late 60s early 70s R model hood with the steel grille! Kinda looks like the steel grille shell is bolted to the original fibreglass hood! Would almost have to raise up to clear the bumper photos kinda dark! I too prefer single head lights with "road lights" Perluxe etc in or under the bumper! Is very unique,I like it!
