Warren D Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 After relocating the wrecker body to the GMC General build, I had a perfectly good First Gear Mack cab and chassis. It seemed a shame to let it sit so I decided to use a dump body I got from AITM a while back and make a dump truck out of it. Primer and paint are next, then I'll fix up the rear of the chassis with brake lights and mud flaps. The factory painted door logos came off with some old Pollyscale decal lifter/remover. Not sure what's in the stuff but it took off the logos without touching the base paint. 2
Mopar - D Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 This is going to be a very interesting build Warren. Are you going to replace the front push bumper?

I'm looking at it. I'd like to, just not sure if it is practical. I'd need a proper Mack bumper, I'll have to see if AITM makes one.

Warren D Posted February 24, 2022 Author Posted February 24, 2022 Well, that wasn't as much fun as I thought. Looked like it was only 2 screws but once I got it off, it was a tussle to get the mounting block seperated from the bumper. Now to find a B61 bumper.... 2
wayne00 Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 AITM has complete Mack kits and conversions. You might contact them and see if they will sell you just the bumper. Rog?
