Saw this truck at the ATCA show in Macungie today, with the Crudebaker in tow behind it, but for some reason it didn't click that it was the same one in this video. I didn't realize it until after I got home and looked back at my pictures and saw the "K" on the hood was tilted. Awesome truck! And that Crudebaker was awesome too.
I painted and did alotta body work to a bunch of old R monster Macks! Cool to see someone doin something cool with one. I always wanted to do an old B Monster myself. See u kept the stock interior color! lol!
Wow I commend you and your handy skills! When I saw the gold Bulldog on the hood, my first thought was a bulletproof 237 Mack with a 5 speed! That would be a great toy hauler combo. But the driver train you engineered sounds fine! But if that was mine I would have stuck with the 5 speed 237, or even a 300 EconoDyne! That would have been amazing! As I've driven those R Model Macks well over a half million miles, all throughout the 80's and 90's! Yep one stack Mack with a window in the back. We hauled scrap metal from R.I. To Reading PA, then beer back from the Brewery in Fogelsville PA. That was at least 30,000 lbs load out, as close to 40,000 lbs back! With a 300 5 speed! I could run with the large cars in 4-5 gears, never going under 40 mph on the longest grades! All while getting 6-8 mpg!!!
I'm David's wife...About the dog, he actually painted it gold and added tiny LED lights to the eyes. There is a switch in the cab to turn the LED eyes on and off. :-)
I worked on a road construction project in SE Iran back in the late '70s, as well as some DM800s we had a R type hauling a bowser which had been bought locally second hand. On the steering wheel boss it said it was 'Custom Built for the San Jose Meat Company' in Hayward Ca.
I had never seen any beauty in an R model. This is one nice setup tho. While pulling freight I always wanted an Emeryville International Harvester to make a toy puller out of or a model B Mack.
Neat Truck !!!! You need to take it to the ATHS National Convention and truck show at the Lexington KY Horse park on May 31 to June 2, 2018.. People would love it... Thanks for showing it.
Kinda neat. But it's an automatic? Four speed? Like a school bus, lol! 10-speed Road Ranger and it would be sweet. Externally, it would look a LOT better with some nice tear-drop Alcoa's, or even bullet-hole Alcoa's. Looks too 'plain' with the painted white wheels. Alcoa's would really make it shine and dress it up nice!! Neat job you did.
My buddy just bought this truck. He brought it over to the house the other day to show me. Lots of work went in to this truck. Truth is it’s a lot more than it looks. TBH at first you can’t figure out what’s different,,,, then you start looking closer and you realize that it’s pretty much everything.
Very nice purpose built truck....it pulls whatever you put on it or behind it....gets great mileage....success on all points....maybe slightly better mileage on Alcoa wheels???...later mod???
David, great job on this rig! I love this model of Mack. I've always wanted to put one of these cabs and front clip on a Ford F-350 crew cab frame, with a sleeper and a pair of beer kegs for tanks, and make a mini-Mack out of it! Use it for pulling a 5th wheel RV.
Thats pretty cool. I would have deff kept it standard shift though, with maybe the small road ranger 13 speed that had the deep reduction. The ability to have the super low gears if ever needed, or dropping the rpms way way down when they arent needed.
That looks like 100+ hours (& maybe 2-3 cs. of beer ;))of work chopping & channeling. I would say get a slightly smaller steering wheel, but otherwise it looks great.
That's a very cool project. I'm not a huge fan of the wheels though, I'd probably paint them if I didn't want to spend money on some nice polished ones.
yes commercial veh over 26001 pds with air brakes does require CDL with air brake endorsement only way around it is to be a farmer not drive over 100 miles from the "farm"
David Colvin I love it ... cool way to shrink a truck so it's not so overpowering to the eye to a normal car guy I'd say.... And I wanted to say hi to kitty at 4:25
It's kinda hard to ruin something that's heading to the crusher, at least it's got some more life left in it now. but that's just the way I see things.
Ruined a good truck by chopping and channeling it . The finished truck doesn't look right. Proportions are wrong. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Very few vehicles look good chopped. Or in this case, butchered.
Why do people feel the need to do this and make the interior smaller than my Honda s2000. Hey guys I am cool I can't see and have no headroom, but ain't I cool!

the deal of the century.
the only thing left of the og truck is the firewall, half of 1 door,front half of frame and hood.
Dope truck man super clean🤙
Very cool, would be nice with double headlights.
And I thought a mack cab couldn't get any smaller
thats really something... also, nice kitty

Love the crooked K!
Beautiful

Love the truck only thing that makes me mad is its an automatic
yea I knew I'd catch crap for that. but it was the cheapest way to go at the time, and with the 2.63 rear it was also the best option.
I’d love to have custom vintage tractor to pull a 45-50 ft camper never run outta power !
It is for sale !
Hi beautiful truck
paint that monster black and call it the Rubber Duck
That looks like 100+ hours (& maybe 2-3 cs. of beer ;))of work chopping & channeling. I would say get a slightly smaller steering wheel, but otherwise it looks great.
get some polished aluminum wheels on that baby.
REAL CLASSY
well done sir.
That's a very cool project. I'm not a huge fan of the wheels though, I'd probably paint them if I didn't want to spend money on some nice polished ones.
they are painted the same color as the roof. i think there just dirty in the vid.
I want that setup!
You did a great job on that. How long did it take?
off an on around 3 years.
Andy Tyler
silly question, what does channeled mean?
when you cut out the floor and lower the cab down around the frame rails, then reinstall the floor a little higher up inside the cab.
SLick!!!
I asked this lady trucker how she liked her peterbilt and she responded"about 10"long.lol
not to copy right my channel has the crudabaker pic on it
Can we hear the air horn on the mack r600
I've thought about building a crew cab with an R model
a lot of work but well done ehhh
how did you figur where all the air lines go for the air ride
the rear frame was complete so all I had to do was hook it up to a dump valve to drop the air
Do you happen to have the paint code for that color?
its navistar 2836
hi im your brotherinlaw student spawnofspahr
hey dude! small world .
Who cut the windshield for you, I looking to chop my super liner Mack & door glass
I have a guy here in york pa, AGS is his company name.
David Colvin thank you very much for response: I live in bucks county
if you need any pointers let me know!
David Colvin thank you again. I’m just waiting for the right time to put it down, I work it everyday. Need to do inner frame rail also.
NICE TRUCK DAVID. LOTS OF WORK. LOOKS SHARP.
BOB REIMER FAVOURITE TRUCK. HE WROTE THE B MODEL MACK SONG.
CHECK IT OUT BY THE COUNTRY TIGERS CANADA.
BOB ALWAYS SAID MACKS WERE BUILT IN THE U.S.A. AND BUILT TO LAST.
HE WAS RIGHT.
Where did you get the motor and transmission from, Wisconsin?
pittsburg pa.
@@David.Colvin ok, I had a Mack engine and automatic transmission with very little mileage I sold to a guy in connecticut, that's why I was asking
@@David.Colvin David, Are you in Pittsburgh? I just started a small engine repair/mobile welding business in Phoenixville outside of Philadelphia.
@@jimmypopp2695 nope I'm near york pa.
Cat power
your brother in law told me about the goldwing the day u got it hes my bible teacher
Require a cdl ?
yes
David Colvin thanks that's what I was thinking
David Colvin why does it require a cdl if just for personal use?
yes commercial veh over 26001 pds with air brakes does require CDL with air brake endorsement only way around it is to be a farmer not drive over 100 miles from the "farm"
the DOT says if it was built as a 26001 or over you have to have cdl personal or otherwise.
This is sad. Could have been fixed up right. I feel sorry for it. I feel it's pain.
I've seen some stupid shit in my day, this is currently ranked in the top 3.
Glad I could make your top 3.
David Colvin
I love it ...
cool way to shrink a truck so it's not so overpowering to the eye to a normal car guy I'd say....
And I wanted to say hi to kitty at 4:25
Ruined the greatest truck!!!
It's kinda hard to ruin something that's heading to the crusher, at least it's got some more life left in it now. but that's just the way I see things.
David Colvin Exactly. You saved her life.
Ruined a good truck by chopping and channeling it . The finished truck doesn't look right. Proportions are wrong. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Very few vehicles look good chopped. Or in this case, butchered.
It looks fine. It was an old shitty truck destined for the junkyard, now it's not.
Looks amazing. Just because you can't doesn't mean others shouldn't.
Totally agree. Don't listen to the idiots.
It's his truck. He can do whatever he wants with it, who cares if you like it you fuckin negative Nelly.
I bought it off him... and I absolutely love it. Gets compliments everywhere I go
Why do people feel the need to do this and make the interior smaller than my Honda s2000. Hey guys I am cool I can't see and have no headroom, but ain't I cool!
@Hamza Amir You sound like an idiot.
