Great pics tonka. What's the black mack truck next to the pics of the red titan? Looks like an Aussie titan, does this mean that the titans here are getting a square grill too?

I guess that is a mack pinnacle, expect for the forward axle version they all have the dip in the top of the grill. I'm not a big fan of the grills and think the aussie ones look better. Plus the ISX 600.

I've always had a thing for cali hay haulers and the Silva truck is no exception. The pinstriping on the trailers is insane. I really like the white and orange 900 and the black one with the skull KW emblem. The black and orange pete is awesome, the orange looks great. I'm not a fan of the rear fenders like that. I like the grey pete a lot. Not all the metal is painted and none of it looks over done. Plus, the pinstriping around the lights and everywhere else is amazing.
