Popular Post Derrico Posted July 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) I want to thank all the forum members for their continued support in my restoration. Your comments are appreciated!! Here is an update as of today. The Mack is getting ready for paint, the trailer is coming along, it is going to be a nice set up when done. It will remind me of the old days when I drove a winch Mack/Hyster lowboy for a living.

Paul S Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Looking real nice! What the power train combo on your truck? Could you tell me what paint you used on your motor? I've been looking for Maxidyne gold for a while and can't seem to find it. Good luck on the progress!

Derrico Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 Hi Paul in Australia, I will go with an oak deck on the lowboy. 2 1/4 in. on the main deck and ramps, 1 in. on the top. Paul in PA, I used Dupli-Color engine enamel in gold for the Maxidyne. Thank you both for the positive comments! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73085-73-mack-restoration-update/#findComment-535547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
