Restoration projects

Type: Mack N61T

Start of restoration in 2002.

The chassis to the left will be revised. Almost all components have been removed to prepare the chassis to be sandbeamed.

This picture shows the tandem-set, removed from the chassis above. After revision it will be mounted together in our workshop.

Now a cabin has to be prepared.

This jewel was found in South Carolina. The truck had been used for many years by a transport firm in America.

Only the cabin of this truck will be used in the restoration project. It will be restored into the original state and fitted on the already prepared chassis.
