Great looking pics Tcows... the running lights on the RC coming straight ahead is great.

I see ol patches was up and running in one of the pictures... the other snow covered dodge is it a parts rig or an upcoming project?

That's the donor for the cummins conversion on Sno-ball. I bought the axles from it, and the guy tossed the rest of the truck in for free....

Is that a tug or a truck with an extremely short wheelbase?

How about a laser diode?

The Bulldog on the Mack truck I drove peed on the pedestrians.

What year did they stop using the Ram head,
1989?

If I used a laser diode I'm sure a cop could use it as an excuse to arrest me. The peeing dog is priceless!

I don't know when they stopped using the Ram. Nor do I know when they started. They just have a silly emblem now which just doesn't do it for me.

I'm probably one of the few who really do not like that rams head at all....I have removed two of them over the years and gave the rams head away.

Glad I have never driven an older Mac....would hate to stare at the a$$ end of a dog all day....

Did not think about a short bed, from that angle it almost looks like a tug.

How does the short wheelbase ride on the freeways?
