umodelnut Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I like it! Here's another ideer.No, that would be a good parts truck canidate for my U model. I would put something offset on my wall, but not a U model, because I would never do that kind of sergical pain on a poor Sidewinder.

umodelnut Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Theres alotta money in B parts on that wallI was thinking that too. Especially the rad shell. Someone could have used some of the stuff!!!I would rather have an old rusty or junk one anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E9V8 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Been thinking about doing that with a slice off the front of an R hood. Maybe even get the guys from that TV show "TANKED" to stick an aquarium in the grille opening. This was my all-time favorite, but it's gone now:That was built by a friend to be the DJ booth inside a local bar formerly known as "The Last Cowboy". Heavy snow collapsed the roof of the building and they moved the old F outside. It hung around until they changed the theme of the place & scrapped the truck. 1 Quote TerryJulian, PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Bodyman friend built a toybox for his kids stuff out of a late 80's mustang back half many years ago.Another friend had his wife do a mural of his vehicles on a wall in their house. I told him to now go buy a tailgate and hang it on the wall on the in the spot where the rear of his '32 roadster pickup was at. Kinda like sitting on the tailgate of his own truck.

Heavy snow collapsed the roof of the building and they moved the old F outside. It hung around until they changed the theme of the place & scrapped the truck. Used to be a bar across the road from the truckstop in Dallas Pike W.V, just east of Wheeling, that had the front of a Transtar IH as the door, you opened the grill and walked right through the front of the truck. Don't know if it's still there, only saw it once in the early '80's. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like sitting on the tailgate of his own truck.Back when i was a mover,i once moved a couch made out of the back end of a REAL AC-Cobra,it was'nt one of those cheap reproduction deals,the car had belonged to the guy,one of his kids wrecked it,and about all that was left was the rear clip! of course this guy was made of money,i think he and his wife owned 10-11 Mc Donalds restaurants,so there was no shortage of folding money in that family!.............................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

yarnall Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Here is the R model version. It is in Steve Hudson's garage in Brockville Ontario. He had to have 3 brackets made to hang it on the wall. He had a red Superliner and an R model at Mack Day last year. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACKTRUCKS4 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I saw a picture of a B-model grill that was made with shelves inside to display die cast toys. I thought it was on this site some time ago, maybe last year? I thought it was pretty cool and wanted to do one just like it. Does anyone remember it?
