I would buy a piece of U-channel or a square steel pipe and fabrikate a temporary part until some ruined R-model hood shows up. Sometimes they do. Of the places I'd check out on such stuff Sparr Mack in FL and Global Truck Traders in VT float up in my mind. Both could be found on the net.

The "drivers side hood" setup should be on both hood attachment spots.
-
What I have seen on the pics of the RS that setup is similar to Eastern R with airride cab. I have it on my R688. Two rollers have different attachments indeed. I suppose the rollers themself are similar nor brackets. The hood plates are of a steel channel kind, have no rubber pad since the roller suppose to roll on them, not bump. The padded hood plates are seem like off a solid cab mount truck.

Civi MACK NO with pipes
Vladislav replied to 41chevy's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
That's army NR. NO's were 6x6. The cab is aftermarket, that's true. -
cab mounts
Vladislav replied to mack4ever's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Wow! I like the way that cab is doing. Too hope it will be doing better soon -
Made a bit of sightseing today

What said above. Some years back Watts Mack was offering nice looking white and black knobs with Mack logo of the style you can see on Mack original key hangers. Once I tried to order a couple of Barry reported that those were no longer avalible and the supplier was already off the business.

It wouldn't indeed.

Door lock length
Vladislav replied to Rmodelwrench's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
I might be wrong but I suppose the longer ones are for an R-model and the shorter ones do a B. When I purchased such lock set for my R they were quite long. But I don't have them handy to measure sorry. -
Gave the old dash a new look
Vladislav replied to Coenut's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
Looks really nice. As new or even better. Did you custom order those decals? Would be cool if you ask the folks for more reproductions since I was going to draw them myself and order the prints. I sure would be eager to cover up the expenses. -
There were two kinds of that grille. The ones you could see on later R-RD-RB were flat stampings bolted onto the chassis mounted air cooler as mentioned above. When you open the hood the grill rests on the radiator assembly. The F-model grill was another story. It was stamped together with its framing and was attached to the cab front panel. Same style was used on Eastern R700 serie. Can't tell the reason but it goes out together with the hood when you open it. The vertical bars you see on earlier R's is a shutters assembly.

Good thing you was able to step back into the lane. Life goes, different but its own way.

Happy Thanksgiving BMT!
-
Drove both that ways and can tell there's nothing extraordinar to admit relating to such clowns driving over the Moscow loop.
-
Can't tell about the cranberry but blueberry pie was absolutely amazing.
-
This was my first turkey eaten on Thanksgiving. Many thanks to our fellow member for inviting me and keeping seized until I got absolutely full of And the photo doesn't show the true size of that angry bird. Looking at it it appears huge. In real it was twice more huge than it appears
-
Wow! Seems like there's always a pool to step into. Didn't drive much today. Now safe and sound at home.
-
I doubt many folks will be found eager to bring their well kept $20K but something like 2-2.5K could save that rare creature from further abondoning or rotting away and than scrapping.

Bad thing I have read this only now. Got NJT one more time today, Gons N Roses would work fine.
-
The BMT crue is the greatest people! Thank you for invitation Randy, PM sent.

Saw this beast today. She was getting out from NJ Turnpike. Couldn't make a bettet catch. One really distinguished point I saw - the sunvisor was painted light green.
-
Do you come back after the end of the week?
-
Thank you, put on the list. For a summer
-
Right at the moment in Fair Lawn NJ at my friend's place. But the facility I have affairs with locates in New Brunswick which is quite close to you. So no problem to me to show up for a cup of coffee (or longer) during the weekend.

Been there done that Yes, made a trip to Va this past June right after Macungie show. Also catched many local roads along East sea coast on my way there. The musuem collection is far beyound of what you can express with words (at least using my English skills). The trucks are fewer in number but every example worth alot of attention.
