I think it is the Modelmaker shop? or something like that. Just a little reluctant to order without know about exchange rates,shipping etc. you are right though,that Asrto would be a killer model! wouldn't be all that difficult either!................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

h67st Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 That is one beautiful truck. My dad had an Astro in the 70's, I prefered the Macks but I did like the tilt wheel and panoramic view from the driver's seat in the Astro.

Terry T Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I think the owner was posting progress pic's of that on the ATHS site when he began the project. I had forgotten about that project until now. The father of a friend of mine back in our high school days had an Astro with a droolin' dozen in it.

Over the production of the Astro/Titan, you get one factory with a 6-71N, 6V92TA, 8V71N, 8V92TA, or 12V71N.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31967-chevy-titan-90-at-macungie/#findComment-195727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
