That's a nice looking truck! Very prototypical of the lumber yard trucks

This is a favorite of mine. I need to see what I have in the junker box that could be used to make it into a semi sized wrecker...

Is there a way to possibly make the truck look more like a truck from before 1970..........Paul

The Menard's truck is as old as 1966. It is a Mack Model R like this one:

This is a Mack Model B from the 50's:

Paul, thanks for those pics. I am trying for a 1970 cut off. So after seeing those pics I may pick up a few of them....Paul

Mark, Very nice offering. Could the tires be made a little more realistic? Exhaust stack? Thanks for listening.

Paul, This is just a guess, but I would estimate that red R model in the pic to be mid 80s (judging by the grill).

I saw a flat bed truck with concrete pipes on the DC beltway some months ago. I was wondering what I could do with my Menards truck which at the time was freebie if you bought something else. From all I have learned here, I was able to weather the truck bed and the chocks holding the pipe. It looks just like the truck I saw that day!
