Now since I have the fever of building these old AC Macks I thought it would be fun to build one on pneumatic tires and make it a heavy duty dump truck the tires are from an old matchbox truck and the wheels are our Alloy Forms as well as the dump bed hope you come along for the ride
 
This looks like fun Lee. Can't wait to see the custom outside duel exhaust! :tongue-out3:

Lee, that looks really nice. I'm pretty sure that orange was a standard color on Mac dumps and Mine haulers, just as the garish yellow that was used by Euclid on their equipment of the same purpose. If you have ever seen an Iron Ore mine, it becomes evident they needed high visibility paint in order to see exactly where these vehicles were operating. Cheers, Rick H.
