Yoos Brothers Construction Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I posted up on ACMOC's website about 1940's Caterpillar truck engines and somebody posted thisphoto. It's an AB Mack log truck powered by a D4400 Caterpillar Diesel dating to about 1938 or so.I've seen another similar AB in a Mack book but it has a D3400 Caterpillar Diesel engine in it.This would be the perfect truck for me, Antique Mack powered by an Antique Caterpillar engine.I thought I would post it up for anyones interest. Also I know where there is an AB chasis withno engine that I might get to make a clone just for something a little different. I already havethe engine so all I would need is a cab, 2 fenders, and a transmission.Hope you enjoy this picture.Thanks.

Yoos Brothers Construction Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) That is the one I was thinking of. The AB I know of has hard rubber tires. Does any one know wherethere is a set of rims and spokes like the ones pictured or similar ones? Also I would need a set of fendersand a cab. Even a patern of the cab and fenders would help. I would appritiate anyhelp on the matter. Thanks.
