Popular Post ranchhopper Posted May 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2015 I took the truck out and did a parade today it still isn't finished I have the fiberglass sunvisor painted blue with a row of stars across the front didn't have enough time to get it installed. The blue paint stripe has to be run across the doors and stars added to it I will get that done this week weather permitting supposed to be a rainy one though. The truck was a hit at the parade I heard a lot of "nice truck" as we went along the route I took a few pics at the beginning of the parade couldn't get any when the crowd got thick though the people were throwing so much candy into the road I had to pay attention not to run over any kids that were everywhere. 22 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39890-rs-did-its-first-parade-today/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Looks great! The gold dog goes well with the red, white, and blue on the hood.You can't beat a small town parade. Nothing overdone and no lip-synching, just real people.

Mikesbucketlistmack Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 The R models have always been my favorite, too. Yours came out very nice !

farmer52 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I cant go that far during my work season I work from march to December with no time off except sundays its not really a show quality truck anyways its fine for parades though.BS, if it runs and is road worthy (or trailer it)...get it to shows (when you have time, if only for a day). I have yet to attend a show that rejected a vehicle because it was not "pristene show quality". If that were the case, my MH would be sitting at home. Personally I prefer to see vehicles in their "working clothes". You did a VERY NICE job on your R and you should be very proud! 1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39890-rs-did-its-first-parade-today/#findComment-288831 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicely put, but I have to disagree with you on the condition of your MH. At the very least it's pretty f%ing clean! 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39890-rs-did-its-first-parade-today/#findComment-288945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
