Mack Truck Car Hauler Project

Just awesome guys, really cool hauler

 

I've still committing at least four of the Seven Deadly Sins just looking at your truck.

I love it.

I want it!

Now, I need the talent to build it!

 

Bill, I get to almost all of the ONDR races. (Ontario Nostalgia Drag Racers)
I think the best race of the year is just down the road from you in Grand Bend on July 9th to 11th. It's not just a race, there's also a car show.

Loved this project. Just one comment---When can I get one and how much. Beautiful truck.

Very impressive build, mad skills

 

I love it! I used to drive an old B-61 tandem dump in my younger days. Excellent work.

Seen the 409 and a little hint of the 309, how did she pull to Milan and back?

 

I was lucky enough to see this at Milan and it is great, nice work Jim and it was nice seeing you yesterday.

Jon

 

Wow - Just wow!!

 

One of the nicest pulling rigs I've ever laid eyes on...........Congratulations on a beautiful build!

 

The old Mack's working fine. We've put about 4,000 miles on it so far this year.
Here's a picture I took yesterday at Milan.




Here's a few more pictures I took this summer.

 

Dude the more of it I see the more I love! That is work anyone would be proud of.

 

Very cool truck! You could probably modify the existing trailer by rounding off the front corners to make it more appealing. I doubt you'll find an old Labatt's teardrop trailer and i'm not sure a 55 chevy fits in one.

I met some of your fellow ONDR guys at Drag Week, seems like a good group.

 

Yall did a great job on that, as a retired truck driver I spent a lot of time in an old B Model, and still luv em. Spike

 

Been following the build since the first install/ WOW! You have outdone yourself. Best looking "B" I have ever seen.

 

Yeah, the ONDR group is great!

We'd really like to either build or modify a trailer to get a vintage look.
I think an old style trailer would look great behind the Mack.




I don't think an old trailer would work because they were only 8' wide and it would be really tight to get around the car.
I notice that some companies make trailers with a rounded front and roof. With a little work we could probably get a trailer like that to look pretty good.

This one in the picture's not a 5th wheeler but I have seen them.



Either way, we'd like to get a larger and more streamlined looking trailer than we have right.
We'll probably have to wait a while before we can get started because we're building another race car and that's sucking up all our cash.

 

talking bout greener pasture, this fire truck is living the good life.
keep it posted .

 

Lookin' Good Man ,,been following the build since the beginning ,,Excellent Werk ,,A Vintage Trailer ???,,how bout one with see thru sides >??? so your '55 can be seen as your "truckin'" down the hi-way ,,much like the ones T V Tommy Ivo had in the '60's ,,
New Race Car ??? show use what your building now ,,How's the 409 runnin'???

 

So what did she turn in the quarter?
