I had an attempt at a sled pulling truck in the fall that I wasn't pleased one bit with the turn out so I figured bigger is better. There isn't much stock on the old dog besides the appearance. I give you the beggining stages of the Mack Superliner I'm going to call "Wicked"... Caterpillar 3406 for power with a Mack 1076 transmission behind it with modified Neway air ride suspension. The back drive axle air bags have been removed and made solid. Super Semi class rules call for the rear axle to be rigid in all directions.... More to come! -Matt      |

Turning out really nice! Can't wait to see more.
Hey, how did you "chrome" the box in the back? Bare Metal Foil? Alcad?

You do know all the fuel lines are supposed to be the same length right.

You're more than welcome to come up and fit the fuel system up exactly how you want. Have at it, bud!

That thing looks awesome. I like the way you hung the weights. Very cool. You will have to make a club meeting so we can see it up close.
