Chuck P Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 The F-model is on Shipping Wars right now for anyone who did not see itI just caught it tonight. I got a good laugh from it. It sounds like Robb Mariani wants the Evel truck finished for the Diesel Trucking Nationals in September of this year. I'd like to see the finished product and I hope ETC stays close to original with this one. Red or Blue? Quote "If it's all the sime to you...

JumperAndSon Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I just caught it tonight. I got a good laugh from it. It sounds like Robb Mariani wants the Evel truck finished for the Diesel Trucking Nationals in September of this year. I'd like to see the finished product and I hope ETC stays close to original with this one. Red or Blue?If you notice, the red trailer has tandem axles and the blue one has a single. The one that is currently with the truck has a single axle so I would think it's supposed to be blue. So if the trailer is supposed to be blue, I would think they should paint the whole rig with the blue color scheme. But that's just a thought.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27845-evel-knievel-resto/page/2/#findComment-160020 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry T Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Ben,I think it's the same trailer and in the pic of the blue paint scheme the trailer is a tandem. Enlarge it and look again.

rsb502 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I think this truck is gonna be another great old Mack back on the road and its a double threat, there is only ! evil truck and there are very few F models so I all for it I may have to make it to the first show to check it out. Oh and Shipping Wars is freakin "STUPID AS HELL", not only do they not have a freakin clue about real trucking the added drama makes it unbearable for me!

Chuck P Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Great pics David! What is the cab size on the Evel truck? It's too big for a daycab but too short for a sleeper.

39 Baby Mack Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Great pics David! What is the cab size on the Evel truck? It's too big for a daycab but too short for a sleeper.It looks like the small sleeper "F" model cab ----there were originally 2 sleeper cabs available 72" and 80".Ron Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27845-evel-knievel-resto/page/2/#findComment-160129 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Maney Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 It is the 72" cab with the corners cut for exhaust and intake clearance for the body. Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

Hmmmm that is true. In the small pic it looked like a single. But I do know that the one that is currently with the truck is a single because I saw it on TV. I wonder whats up with that?Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27845-evel-knievel-resto/page/2/#findComment-160310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
