I’ve seen the ones in the Mack Museum. I almost went to Allentown with my old boss where I retired after 25 years with him to see my last Mack truck built and the last few he bought to be made but I’m too afraid to fly. He was going to pay for everything.

mowerman Posted Sunday at 04:05 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:05 PM Ha ha I drove for 49 years. Last job was triple trailers for Fedex I was so sick of it. I didn’t even wanna come in the last couple of weeks and I was working most of the time 12 to 16 hours after retirement. I’ve got way more ambition than I would’ve thought let’s hope it continues 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76288-125-scale-mack-lmsw-m-quarry-truck/page/2/#findComment-588405 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably going to hang it up in 4 years or go to about 3 days a week maybe. I like that green on that DM800. Do you recall what color you painted it? We keep talking about it it’s going to come down from the closet 😂 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76288-125-scale-mack-lmsw-m-quarry-truck/page/2/#findComment-588415 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wasn’t too much against the chrome. I just wanted to look more like a work truck. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76288-125-scale-mack-lmsw-m-quarry-truck/page/2/#findComment-588420 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted Sunday at 07:53 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:53 PM Yes, I don’t know what the deal is. they were built for tough work. I don’t know why they felt. They had to chrome everything. But I did build the same kit as a teenager. I believe I just put everything on the way. It was back then 55 years ago it’s hard to remember. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76288-125-scale-mack-lmsw-m-quarry-truck/page/2/#findComment-588430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted Sunday at 08:23 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:23 PM Oh, by the way, I think there’s only a handful of us left that started with our history… my grandfather started a hauling business way back around very early 1900s he was mainly delivering bananas I never met him. He died before I was born. Both grandparents on my dads side I’m the last one to be behind the wheel Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76288-125-scale-mack-lmsw-m-quarry-truck/page/2/#findComment-588433 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted Monday at 01:30 AM Share Posted Monday at 01:30 AM Hey my brother, let’s join the rat pack. That’s close enough man you qualify. But then one of my dad‘s childhood pals put two kids through college with a shoe shine box back in the40s 50s. I thought I would just throw that in doesn’t really pertain. Just a very interesting story but I actually talked to a guy when I was around 12 years old that remembered my grandfather delivering bananas to his dad‘s farm that was pretty cool. I think I’m all over the board now Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76288-125-scale-mack-lmsw-m-quarry-truck/page/2/#findComment-588446 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackSTL68 Posted Monday at 02:48 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 02:48 AM I also have several 1/32 Mack’s I need to finish. I have a B61 that’s almost done I think I’ll start a thread on it. I also have a nice Mack RS700L wide grill that’s almost finished too. I won’t start a thread on it until I get the B61 done. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76288-125-scale-mack-lmsw-m-quarry-truck/page/2/#findComment-588458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
