I caught wind of this truck a few years ago and I knew I had to build it. And honestly, I like building trucks that no one else has done before. Mack F900 AITM cab, 23,000#, 80,000# rears, 12x24 rubber, AITM Challenge mixer body lengthened with plastic cups, scratchbuilt I-beam frame, water tank made from PVC fittings, custom decals and a years worth of time on and off. I was lucky enough this summer to pass this model on to the driver of the real truck whom I've become good friends with. The joy comes in building, it also comes when you can give something to someone who appreciates a replica. Ryan Attachments:

Love that build man!!!
Oh the stuff we used to be able to get away with in the north east. 14-18 yard mixers on a 3 axle chassis, hauling a assembled crawler crane on a lowboy, with the boom out back & a operator in the cab to swing left or right around corners.....
Gone for good.

Wow now that is different. Could almost pass as a wonder bread dough mixer with the spots on it. Great Build.
