Popular Post ranchhopper Posted February 12, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2016 My employer is rebuilding and repainting this truck for me to drive this coming season its pretty hard to see how it shines now with the concrete dust all over it the things only been in there a week and that's how much dust it has accumulated already they had to clean the rust jacked frame up fixed ar rebuilt what was broken it is a low mileage truck that sat in the yard for years. It has a computer controlled engine and was used as a delivery truck for septic tanks it had a real long frame which they cut down new fifth wheel will be here next week. They did all the paint work in house they have a new chrome mack OEM bumper sitting on the shelf for it new painted wheels inside it will have polished alcoas on the outside the muffler guard was a spare I had sitting around here. I will get some more pics as they progress it looks like its going to be a pretty nice ride when its done. 10 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43969-rebuild-and-repaint-of-an-rd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranchhopper Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 I liked that spare it did me good only one break down all summer from a new kid in the garage putting belts on wrong that's pretty good for a truck with over 700K on the clock. Now I will be back to going back to the yard after supper to wash the truck I like washing it down when the second shift mechanics are there less hectic. Hopefully I will be back sometime next month probably running a loader or backhoe until we go full speed ahead doing the yard runs of gravel.

IH Farms 2 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 There really is only 4 of us normally. If we are really busy will have Al Hint trucks hauling as long as no one needs there pool filled plus a few others here and there.Yes cp is corn products or ingredion as it's called now. They have gotten better but if there is more than 60 trucks between loads there will be a line.
