HK Trucking Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Regarding that top photo; While I appreciate the skill, craftsmanship, artistry, & hard work it must have taken to create this "masterpiece", I can only say that I wish the "artist" would have expressed himself in a different way, rather than this waste of a perfectly good B model. IMHO, B models & Mack trucks in general do not need this type of "cosmetic surgery" to be attractive. A nicely restored , stock appearing B model is much prettier than this abomination. It almost borders on blasphemy to do that to a Mack! Just my opinion. Quote "If You Can't Shift It Smoothly, You Shouldn't Be Driving It" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trucks are made to work and make money so although it took alot of imagination and work to do that to a B model, my "Baby Skiddle" still looks better to me. Bob Quote Ain't a Mack? Take it back!

hurstL78 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 IMO if there was a better look than the factory look,they would have put it on at the factory.can't beat original the look,on anything,just my .02cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullfuel01 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 they only want to be different. it's looking good and one of a kind. don't just see that it's a B model. in fact it's a B model cab... nothing except this. maybe innovative too much?? does anybody know anything about the mecanic in this truck?

GearheadGrrrl Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I'm not certain that custom was a B model... the lines look a bit like a K model International. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 If you want some more info on the customized B,do a search for Millenium Mack,that what the truck is called.One of these days I'll figure out how to post one of those links you can just click on.Sadly,it started life as a early B-75 with the sheet metal grille shell,pretty rare truck,but at least it didn't end up scrapped.While I wouldn't do that radical custom work to any of mine,I do think it's neat in it's own way.

Barry Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 WOW! There is more to the Millenium Mack than meets the eye...check this out!http://www.caraudiomag.com/v_features/0112cae_mack/And here is more on the history of it...http://www.tenfourmagazine.com/feature/2001/7.htmlI encorage people to build their truck the way they want! Some people like straight up stock while others want to be creative. Sometimes the latter is the best way to get the general publics attention. It all comes down to personal preference and I would never discourage anyone from following their dream.
