I'd love to see that truck after it hit a few pot holes with those tires! Might as well wrap a couple layers of electrical tape around them as those tires!

Just for fun I clicked on the link to Iron Planet and saw the "Buy it Now Price"! Only $43,000! Wonder if that includes "Free shipping?" Only need to free up around $42,500 and it will be mine!

The front view of the 190's reminds me of some toaster made in the 40'/50's. Either design all the grille bars at vertical or all horizontal-but not both. It's as ugly as someone wearing argyle socks
with plaid pants and stripped shirt. And a pointy hat also.

I like the pickup, but I would have left the air cleaner behind.

Both need to have the frillish crap removed, including the stainless mack hood slats and dog on the side. Everyone knows it's a mack. And those bumper guide posts on the one above---
those always looked korny to me, might as well attached curb feelers and shirts to go with those.:p

That's a Mack tank and Mack mounts and straps. But that tank design was also used by other manufactures,
Pete and Frtlnr had that set-up or something close. Business class parts and pieces get tossed around
between builders.
