thomastractorsvc Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Nice! Wish I had the money to buy or make something like that.I saw that picture before. A couple years ago there was a truck similar to that one that was repowered, don't know what happened to that one but it was on truck paper and Ebay a few times.

hicrop10 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I think Highpoint had one of our old DM800 tractors.It was equiped with the mack v8,tri-axle.The year was 1975 we had brought it new back then.It never could do the work of the truck it was supposed to have replaced,that was a 1964 B873sx that I'm restoring now.
