UPS Mack CH602 & 40' Van Trailer - By Tony De Seta


Here's another look at Tony De Seta's terrific UPS Mack CH602 truck tractor hooked to a 40' drop frame "feeder" trailer. Tony built this great looking tractor using a Herpa CH for the basis. Tony cut the tractor down to a single drive axle configuration, changed out the very lame Herpa V-6 engine for a more proper (looking at least) Cummins inline six cylinder. Tony added a scratchbuilt airshield, rear quarter fenders, painted the fuel tanks, and added open grid steps to the fuel tanks. The trailer is Rail Power, now Athearn. Also seen in Photo Galleries 238 and 239.
