After building his Smokey and the Bandit Kenworth W900 and trailer in 2018, George Matthews knew what he had to do next - a replica of the Rubber Duck's Mack from Convoy! Starting from scratch with a only day cab tractor unit, he's fabricated everything from the sleeper pod to the bull bar and to top it all off there's even a matching tanker trailer which he fitted with a tandem axle bogie.

Check out the interior of this R-series Mack, it features Mack’s own Maxidyne engine and 10-speed Maxitorque transmission. This one is from Australia and is part of the RM Murdoch collection. Maybe some of our friends across the Atlantic or down under can tell us how these compared to the likes of Peterbilts, Kenworths and Freightliners of the era? The cab is certainly cozy and the sleeper pod is only accessible from the outside, it was probably a day cab to begin with. #truckndriver #truckdrive
