    After two and a half years it's finally done. Many hours of work and aggravation went into this Mack. But it was something I had to do-My Last One. Would I do it over again? I can't answer that right now. Was it worth it? Yeah it was worth it to me. Did I learn anything along the way? Of coarse I did, Old Dog's can learn new tricks. Please don't hit the like button or comment, it's had enough likes these last years. I thank all of you for watching the progress and your nice reply's. People to thank for helping me reach the end result. Chris Nulph-owner Tate Transportation, Gayle LeFore and Jeff LeFfore, Hagerman Truck Salvage. Jim Ferraro-Jim's Machine, ACUFAB, Napa of Walla Walla and HW Metals Portland Or. Saved Best for last---Jose Palomino for the the excellent effort he put into the body and paint work. And there is a possibility it will be on the cover of {10-4 Magazine} A big Maybe.

    Are you going to keep it and take it to any shows? Lemmons Trucking in Longview have a good one in June you should bring it to, can park it next to the W900L!

    The hood and panels really make it stand out. This truck deserves every cover photo it gets. Well done. As good as the hood looks, cruising without a hood was still so cool.

    WELL DONE TS!!!! As OIH said it's very cover photo worthy. Now go and have fun with it.

I doubt I will take it to any shows, I believe it will be gone this spring and possibly reside in Baker City Or. But that hasn't taken place yet so who knows what it's immediate future is. I just know I'm tired and need some time off from dreams.

    Tell the guy that buys it to bring it over, my covid facemask will catch the drool!

    I believe that both you and the truck deserve the recognition. A testament to workmanship. Well done !
