Hi ! Just don't leave the project just there , take you time and will will succeed !! this truck was rusting for so many years give yourself half those years to restore it !! then the final product will be very nice !! I'm sure !!! Mackniac !!

Hi ! Here is the project in progress : Hi ! Here it is , I started from an Athearn Ford C series and transformed it to a 6x4 Mack N Series ( rare sight ) . 1- Ford has one sealed beam each side Mack has 2 2- Mack has a cap for a tank on the helper side 3- Mack has a front grill between the sealed beam Without any doubt there is other differences but now known to me, with all the pictures and research I've done it will be as close as I can do it . enjoy

Hi ! Thank you Bumblebee !!!

Hi ! I would like to know if any one can help me find information about the Mack model "N" with the Budd-cab . information needed 1- is there ever been a 10 wheels version ? 2- were they all coming with dual headlight ? 3- what is the size of the chrome logo on the front of the truck where it is written MACK ? 4- were they always the chrome lining between the two headlights holder ? If any one has pictures it would be appreciated . I will use these info for customising 1/50 scale model of the truck Regards Makcniac aka André Grondin Canada
