I love your truck. Can you post some shots of the tilt nose with some close-ups of the brackets, hinges and latches. Maybe there is a link to an older thread about that aspect. Looking good!

Hi guys, I did a search on the original colors.... a bit of a dark spot around

the war years, but I've settled on 'Village Green' for the hood & cab and black

for the fenders and grille panel. Bernette the battery box is bolted to the frame

it's 'R' model Mack, I worked for Mack for 26 years.... so quite a few bits

and pieces are Mack sourced.

Cheers, Steve.
