Prowrench Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I am looking for a specific paint scheme from the 80's it was on a Mack calendar. I believe it might have been a mixer but it was a silver r model with red stripes over the hood back to cab and downward on doors 3 stripes about 2 inches wide each. If anyone can point me towards this specific paint scheme i would really appreciate it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackaholic Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Looked through several Mack calendars from the 80’s that I have. These pics are the only ones I could find that look like what you’re describing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) If it was a mixer it could be DM. Very similar schemes they had with only difference of the offset cab.

Prowrench Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 I have drawn some stripes on a picture that roughly illustrate the stripes I remember from the 80's calendar I'm hoping this jars someones memory keep in mind the stripes would be on a solid background not the two tone I have drawn on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a Hollywood actor I recognize and certainly would have either one of those two. I used to watch The Partidge Family show as a kid so knew the characters quite well. Susan Dey is still very pretty to this day and is originally from about 20 miles distant from me.

bbigrig Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) There was a U model inside the back cover of the brochure that was silver with red stripes. The U model brochure was green on the front. Still can't post a picture here for you because something changed on the forum site.

This truck is in several brochures. Thus angle is from a DM model brochure in 1980. As 41Chevy stated earlier, the side view you are looking for is in the 1980 construction line brochure. I don't have a copy of that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
