Doug Maney Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I thought I did have a photo of a Quandel Concrete truck that was painted similar. I looked at their website and they were painted somewhat different. I can't think of any others done that way. The link below is of a "Spirit of '76" truck, their later trucks were painted similar to this. I think this is about as close as you can get. The long hood R on the Mack lithograph allows more room for the stripes to be wider on the hood crossing than a DM.1975 Rhttp://www.quandelconcrete.com/history.htmLater DM'shttp://www.flickr.com/photos/14279496@N03/2185758197 Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

57 bcr Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 You got that right! It would be easy to recreate the stars with todays laser cut vinyl! Either using them as a stencil or just using them by themselves,you know? I think it would look cool.Oh by the way there is a RS785LST parked where the sleeper is! I don't know why I didn't mention it before,DUH??? It must be a '73 or '74.Has the rib down the center of the hood(later right?) Cab is toast but everything else is pretty straight.

Cab is toast but everything else is pretty straight.Now WHY did you have to go and mention that????? I got no more room to house anything and the 700's need hidden from me. I'm having withdrawl symptoms as I type......I'll ascertain whether I just have to have it or not when up there Monday. I prefer paint as opposed to vinyl for the older stuff. I may go with vinyl stars over basecoat paint and clear over everything, or have stencils cut of stars and do all in paint.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

57 bcr Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Also found this picture in my archives.Proof that at least one B model was repainted with this scheme.My cousin bought this B-42 back in '92.It was a once proud local dump truck from West Allis,Wisc.Was in halfway decent shape when he bought it(except the 401 had a hole in the side of the block). He fixed it up nicely.Didn't repaint it the same.Sold it at a Ritchie Bros. auction and got a check for $1434.00 ! He was sick,to say the least!

She is now on board so at least one in the shed will sport the patriotic scheme.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
