1/4-Scale Mack Truck

1/4-Scale Mack Truck AG WORLD 28-6-21 David Irey of Edina, Minn., built this 1/4-scale 1925 Mack Bulldog truck. The body is made entirely from wood. "We built it for our two kids in the early 70's," says Irey. "The kids in our neighborhood would come over and ask if the Little Red Truck could come over and play. They loved to go for rides in it. The truck was restored for our three grandkids in 1998 and we continue to drive it in parades today." The truck is powered by a 3 1/2 hp gas engine. The frame is made from 1 1/4-in. sq. steel tubing. Four leaf springs provide suspension at all four corners. The front axle is made from 1 by 1/2-in. steel. A pie-shaped piece of a car flywheel and the gear from the car's starter provide a simple rack and pinion steering.
