other dog Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I gave Teresa Moore some Mack truck pictures to scan and send in,but she couldn't get her scanner to function properly (couldn't get it to work either) so I have no pictures in yet.I can scan them and e-mail them one at a time myself so yesterday when I went to Moneta,Va.to pick up a load of treated lumber I stopped and took some pictures of an A-40 Mack sitting in a field,and when I got back to the shop I took one of my concrete mixer to finish the roll of film.I took the film to Wal-Mart today to get it developed and their printer was out of comission too,so I can't even send those in! Someday,though...soon I hope. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

mackmixer Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Great pictures. Never saw a paint scheme like that, especially back in the 60's. What engine, transmission, and rear end ratio does she have?

maxidyne237 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 was that color sceme your design or was that a companies color sceme? Pretty neat, not to knitt pick but you need a set of bulldog mud flaps(like what Barry sells) in place of the car quests! Nice truck tell us more about it Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2362-truck-picture-blues/#findComment-11837 Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 (edited) Thanks guys-The truck has a 673 thermodyne in it and a quadruplex trans,I have no idea what ratio the rears are.Top speed is about 55 mph,but I suppose if I stood on it long enough I might get 57 or 58 out of it.The cab was red when I got it,but I had the fenders painted black because I liked the way they looked on Diesel Gypsy's B-61,and was going to have just the top of the hood painted black too,but it has some dents in it and I thought they would be more noticable if I did.I painted the mixer drum at home,in the yard,with rollers,brushes,and hardware store implement paint.The stripe didn't turn out exactly like I wanted-I wanted the corkscrew look,couldn't really afford A professional to do it,and that's what I ended up with,but all in all not too bad looking I guess! And thanks A lot Barry! Edited April 21, 2007 by other dog Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 I'm gonna try to post the rest of the pictures this weekend,but if I can't I'm just gonna send them to Barry to post for me.Barry knows everything.And I might get some Bulldog flaps if I can afford them-got home late last night and got a phone bill,credit card,insurance,electric,and direcTV bill this week.Good thing I went ahead and ran that third trip Thursday instead of delivering Monday!
