Rico, I think you will like this one!
Fresh out of the paint shop is another Mack dump truck. This one started life as a Mack CH613 Sleeper Cab. I removed the sleeper and painted the cab the same red as the rest of the fleet and re-assembled the the parts of the cab and attached it back to the chassis which was sprayed a matte black. I also added a hitch the back so I can eventually hook up a nice looking tag-along trailer when someone starts making them ![]() The dump bed is the same as the Kenworth's. I originally was only going to do Kenworth's with this style dump bed, but I held one up next to a Mack cab and instantly fell in love with the way it looked. The dump bed is from a Model Power Kenworth Dump Truck. After the bed was painted and installed, I applied the chrome mirrors, horns, grabs, and bull dog. I also added a lift-axle to this one. Only thing left to do is add some Robertson's Transport decals, safety striping, and some light weathering Here are some pictures: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Thanks Jim!
![]() I just started on a fleet of 3 single axle Mack's with double bottom belly dump pups. I plan to have at least 10 of these single axle/double belly dump sets for my fleet, so this is just the start lol. Cabs are in the paint shop drying as I am writing this lol
