mackniac Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I'm a private collector and scale modeler , I'm looking to find out if it is the Atlas truck bodies company that was making the Dump truck bodies for the Mack DMM600 coming out of the Oakville Mack plant in Ontario Canada ? If so I'm looking to get the specs of those dump bodies to fabricate one for my own collection the dump box was high in the front and had a slanted finish by the end .

tjc transport Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 to the best of my knowledge, trucks came from factory back then without body just like they do now. after being built, the cab chassis is sent to whatever body builder the buyer/ supplying dealership specifies for body install. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

mechohaulic Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 any updates on dump body specs or even better any pictures of your DMM's. i'm back to model building thanks to cold weather and virus lock-down. always enjoy seeing scratch-built. hopefully i can get a newer catalog from plastruct . they have large selection for plastic fabrication Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/64754-looking-for-information-regarding-dump-boxes-of-the-70s/#findComment-466897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 DEL was also very popular back then here in Ontario. Many of the old dump trucks I ran had DEL bodies until Bibeau and Beau-Roc pretty much took over. But as Maddog has said....I have seen those DMM's with Hiho excavator bodies also.

Bullheaded Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 OK.....LOL, every DMM excavator dump I ever saw pics of was one of Hi-Ho's trucks, LOL. Every dump I drove in my younger days had a DEL body and hoist on it.
