    It's a commercial model with aftermarket parts, a shortened frame, and a "Weasel" paint job! I saw some like this when I was a kid, and I loved the colors!

    I added an image of a model I built years ago. That's how I want it to look...eventually!

    Yellow cab and hood with black fenders. And put the interior back green. Of course, that's a ways down the road.

    I thought it was funny, too. Vinny, if you're going to have a lop-sided truck, you might as well get used to it!Next time, make the cake offset to balance it out! "I kid because I care." (unknown) Kent

    Here's an older one, and one the guys put on my 30-year job anniversary cake! I think I'm getting old!

    Now it's starting to look right!

    But, but. but, the dog is the shiniest thing on the truck!Superdog is selling me a "K". So, maybe I will have a "MACK", instead of a "MAC", in a few days! Had to make new gaskets for the thermostat and thermostat housing Friday. The silly thing had sprung a leak! Got them cut out and put in, though. And, I got the numbers off the thermostat, so I can find the right one whenever I need to. I hate having to do "repair" work along with the "restoration" work. Such is life... Kent

    Ta-da!

    Yep!Tahnks, Vinny, Kent

    That's what I hoped it was.I found some round "washers" off of something (shipping brackets off a washing machine, I think) in the garage. They were about 1/8" or 5/32" thick. Seemed to work prety well. Dog is sitting happily on the hood now. Superdog is going to send me a "K" for the front of the hood. Starting to look like a Mack...and the hood is a HECK of a lot easier to open! Kent

    Got the dog and base today. Looks practically new. Will definitely be the shiniest thing on the old truck! On the underside of the hood, where the dog attachment bolts pass through, there is a metal re-inforcement "strap" to protect the fiberglass. There obviously used to be another "backing plate" of some kind on top of that, as there is a distinctive imprint in the paint. The imprint appears to be about the same 4-1/4" diameter as the base under the dog. Does anybody have one (R, U, DM) sitting in their yard and can tell me what this missing plate looked like? Is it just a flat plate? If so, what thickness. Or, is it some sort of stamped shape? Thanks, everybody! Kent

    Well, the dog and base may have evaporated. Had one of my friends who's an eBay regular bid on one for me. Got it for a reasonable price. Estimated delivery was yesterday. No dog today. EBay has no tracking data for it yet. No response from seller yet, either. Not sure if he's off doing the Thanksgiving thing, didn't like the price he got (HE set the reserve, not me), or what. Will give it another day or two, then get pissed-off. This is just one of the reasons I hate dealing with eBay. While most sellers are very responsive, some just plain suck. I can't believe nobody on here has any parts I could buy! Kent

    So, you wanna part with any of it? Prices?
  23. doubleclutchinweasel
    Mine is a '70, & it has the small. Maybe changed when the cab changed (72-ish)? My letters are almost dead on 2" tall. Maybe somebody else knows the size of the larger ones. Anybody got any small letters???!!!!!! Kent
  24. doubleclutchinweasel
    Dog on the way. Anybody ever find a spare "K" in their stuff? Kent
  25. doubleclutchinweasel
    I used no impact tools. That's some difference. Also, I had a lot of cleaning to do. Still, you be smoking'! Kent
