My New Truck

[Shel_B]

I've not taken delivery yet as it was just finished, but I hope to add it to my small-but-growing collection soon.
From the maker of this little gem:

A 1950s Mack tow truck. The difficulty was the number of parts (304) I had to make. Every piece was made in the workshop except for two wood golf tees used for the air horns and the string used for the cable. I must admit that a lot of parts ended up in the trash can ...

Tres cool!
I worked with a guy who made wooden rocking horses and branched into "race cars" and alligators..... all a bit larger than yours.
Pretty

It'll never rust but the termites might get ya.

Thats a nice B61. Just watched a Steve Magnante Junkyard Crawl episode on that model Mack earlier today.

Thats a nice B61.

I cut my teeth on a Mack B61 with a Mack triplex transmission. One step up from a two horse wagon!
