Front suspension is COMPLETELY fabricated (except the axle and tie rod), including the front frame crossmember. The Mack letters are Detail Masters photo etch. A note - when a Mack has a gold Bulldog, it indicates that ALL of the mechanics are Mack parts.

Pickup bed is from the Moebius Ford F-250. The frame was heavily modified with a 45° bend to lift the rear frame; an air bag suspension was scratch. Two drive shafts were used.

For the gauges, decals from a Corvette were used. Paint was Humbolt - gloss black and sea grey matte, with some overspray to blend them. Tamiya gloss clear was used over it all.
