High Binder Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Saw this one today at MATS. I think this was the first time it's been shown. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44618-nice-mack/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Long Hard Ride? Must still have camelback suspension? LOL! I like it. Still has some old school class to it. Not too overboard except for that big Pete visor. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

james j neiweem Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I bet it would cost 50,000 to un bling that thing. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44618-nice-mack/#findComment-329270 Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Binder Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Larry, You're correct. It has a Camel back suspension.

ranchhopper Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I couldn't imagine what that guy has into that paint job. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44618-nice-mack/#findComment-329279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcrafty1 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Looks Nice, gonna be top shelf just as soon as they complete the cab light addition and some bugles up top to offset that gawddy sun visor.

High Binder Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) The paint job was fantastic. You had to be there to appreciate it. From the picture all the black on the engine a chassis looks to be pure but when you get close you can see the red mixed in. It looks similar to metal flake but not in the traditional sense. I don't know how to describe it. All of the air lines and wiring had the chrome wire loom. Did you notice no door handles, power windows, and power tilt hood ?

ranchhopper Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Yeah kind of cut its nuts off by taking the bulldog off the hood in my opinion. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44618-nice-mack/#findComment-329289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBullDog Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 The color is pretty nice, and the fact he didn't lop off the camelback and put pete-leaf on it says somthing for it. I see that the fifth wheel is blocked up, ready for a frameless. The visor can sty behind though.

keg1 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 No drip edge on roof either Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44618-nice-mack/#findComment-329318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Interesting craftsmanship, not my style, but not my truck either. Each to his own. I don't know how those rear fenders work with a camelback, no room for articulation.

PeterMack Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I heard the final cost on that truck was $150,000. I would believe that. I think I would have stuffed air ride under it for a few more bucks.

41chevy Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Of all the great work on the truck, the amount of work to make the firewall smooth and clean and the cusom dash are the mos impressive things done. Shaving the drip molding is a nice touch also. I would imagine the rear fenders are attached to each rear to move with the suspension. Visor isn't my style but lots of people like them. Can't imaging putting my shoes on the floor though.

Gmerrill0516 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 You would have to take your shoes off in it I guess. I like it but the bull dog should be set back in place and the grill screen treatment leaves me wanting for something more worthy of the rest of the truck. That took a ton of work and $$ to do. Glad to see it's not in a field or worse. Nice work for sure.

Brian Blaylock Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 All that work and all that money you would think they could afford a $60.00 Bulldog for the hood Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44618-nice-mack/#findComment-329728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
