Does anyone own a truck??

[colhad]

Hi folks

I'm currently modelling a tip truck in Gmax and need a bit of help from any of the truck drivers/owners we may have in our community.

I'm having some trouble finding decent door/window textues to suit a "Mack" style prime mover. I'd like to ask any truckie if they could be so kind to take some photographs of their truck, detailing the windows, doors, headlights and license plates would also be welcome.

With regards to the license plates, I could edit the letters/numbers to protect privacy and any other concerns you may have.

Anyone who contributes will be credited in the released model.

Much appreciated folks.

Hi Colhad, I don't own a truck, but I do have a high-horsepower Google in the garage...

Always forget google images, might find something useful there, thanks Dermmy.

Mind you, I did search texture file sites.

Its not very common to have sleeper cabs on tippers

Trust someone to find a "fault", that's ok, I'll make a long trailer for it.

Hi Ron, thanks for your kind offer. I do think I may have been able to come up with suitable textures. I will say that it probably isn't necessary after all.

Thankyou Ron, and thanks also to Bearcat and Dermmy for pointing a few things out.

Nice work!...smooth rounded corners...can I drive?

Hello Colhad,

I was admiring your work last night & wish to commend you for your attention to radius curves used in your mods!

Dermmy shocked me with his Google ride...

Here are some pics of older Mack trucks from my past that my Dad drove...they are older trucks but had air in the tires...lol!

I know these are older models of trucks that you have hear, just finding these on the Internet made my day!

The H63 cabover...

Roadway H63...

H67 with dual twin headlights mounted in the fenders...

Another H67 "twin-screw(dual-drive)." This truck built in the early '60's was still earning money in 1985...

Rare pic of a B61 "integral sleeper" model...

Hanks Truck Pictures is a good place to hang out!
