j hancock Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 It is a cut down mini Mack on a pickup chassis based in CT. Don't think I have a picture of it. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

57 bcr Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Is that "Mini B",one of George Sprowl's old trucks? Tackaberry has the "daycab" version that George built first.

j hancock Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 About the only thing to change would be to exchange the rain cap to a curved exhaust tip.

Maddog13407 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 really looks like one of George's trucks. Tacks green one was someone elses before to I think before Tacks. you can pic George's out cause of the fender curves I think and why do I think that red one with the sleeper was white at one time????

j hancock Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 There is a green "tractor" very similar to the red pickup pictured above. Here is a twin to Tack's daycab. This one is still up in ME last I knew. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

wingman Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I always had a passion for the LTL Fords. Best looking truck Ford ever made! They drive pretty nice too.

BillyT Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The little mini Bs are awesome! Looks like they cut down the fuel tanks so they weren't so tall,or does someone make a smaller step tank? I wonder if a cut down Mack front fender would look good in the back where they have the Ford fender? The Ford fender matches the B cab really well tho!

Maddog13407 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I always thought that truck was tacks green . I remember someone talked to George and he said the front fenders were the worst but he did an excellent job. they look proportional, wish I had his drawings or dimensions.
