Good eye! You are correct, they aren't the same as the E models that the FP appears to have used. Looking through the F model archive photo book they closely resemble the other earlier F model fenders. Not sure if Mack tried them out and didn't like the look or what. They did appear to be the originals from the factory. Maybe the new owner can decipher that from the build records?

There might be a few there but it's a Central California chapter ATHS truck show. Usually about 100 trucks.

I don't think so. Off road Peterbilt, couple of KW's and an international.

Not that many cars, mostly trucks and a few pickups. Great show at a great location.

I thought I had a better picture of it but if you look real close Norm's R model is on the left next to my dad's RS763. This was at the Central CA show in Plymouth. It was in Reno at the ATHS national show as well. Nice looking truck!

single drive with a Utility tag axle.

Yesterday we got it on the trailer and one step closer to it's new home. Every time we move it it gets rougher! Not much left but it is an FP with a Buda diesel. FP1C1010D

From my experience, trucks built after 1955 generally had 3 hinges, earlier had two. That said there are plenty of exceptions. All the LJSWX's I've seen back to 1950 had 3 hinges. I've heard there are some late LT's that had 3 hinges as well but the vast majority had two. Not sure about the C series trucks.

The cabs should be the same. 73' and earlier had a thinner cab back. 74' and up had 3 extra inches added in. The hoods between the 78 and 91 would be different. 78 would be a Superliner I, 91 a Superliner II. don't know if they would interchange or not. I's had round headlights and the fenders are set back about an inch behind the grille. The II's had the bottom edge of the fenders even with the grille. Good luck!

I'm working on getting it pulled out of the blackberries. I took more pictures but all that shows up is the berries. Nasty things! Does this look like a Buda diesel?

Anyone ever heard of an FP? I think I found one this past week in Northern California. It's chain drive, has a tag axle, a Buda diesel and what looks to be sheet metal from an E model. I figured it was custom built back when industrious people without any money did such things but after consulting with my Mack books it may have been a factory build. I'm trying to get the owner to drag it out of the blackberry jungle it's in so I can get a better look.

I've got a couple off of a B42. Not sure if they're the same. They are in Northern CA.

Welcome, good looking truck you have there. Looks familiar!

Got pulled over going down 80 coming home from the Reno show a few years ago. CHP couldn't understand how we could have a truck that big and not need CA and DOT numbers. Finally convinced him that the Antique plates don't require all that BS and he let us go. Claimed he worked in the scalehouse previously and had never heard of such a thing. Good thing he didn't look too close. Had a pretty good fuel leak at the throttle shaft on the Cummins. All depends on what side of the bed the officer got out of that day.
