vision386 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Found this at a mack dealer in western colorado,it is obviously a E-model , but year, designation, specs. etc. i was unable to find out, as they were getting ready to close for the day. I did learn it was a "sparetime" project for the shop, and that the pickup body was off an "L' series international. The guy i talked to said it was about 99% complete,just needed some fit/finish work. I wish i was able to find out more about it, as i thought it was nicely done for a "phantom" not like some of the trucks turned into pickups, i personally like the "stock" appearance. mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

BULLHUSKThats one of the things i like about it too,this looks like something mack could have actually built! it looks a lot better in person, it was dusty from sitting outside, it was really windy/dusty when i took the pictures. mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

AaronJ Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 By looking at the hood, it is an ED- not sure of the year. ED's had just the trim strips along the sides of the hood. Bigger E's have vents under each of the strips. This probably did start life as a pickup.

This probably did start life as a pickup.That was my best guess as well, though i did consider an EE model too. not sure about it starting out as a pickup though,the body that was on it was off a 3/4 ton international,and the young guy i talked to said when they got it,it had a platform/flatbed body on it. so at this point it's anybodys guess, but i do agree with you,i think its an ED also. mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

Phase 1 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 That was my best guess as well, though i did consider an EE model too. not sure about it starting out as a pickup though,the body that was on it was off a 3/4 ton international,and the young guy i talked to said when they got it,it had a platform/flatbed body on it. so at this point it's anybodys guess, but i do agree with you,i think its an ED also. markMy 2 cents is that it would look better with a flatbed on it instead of a morphodite with that International box.I believe all of the ED's I have seen were pickups although it certainly could have been ordered as a cab and chassis or there may have been a flatbed/stake rack option.

AaronJ Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Looking at those pickups makes me want to turn my EE into one vs. the flatbed I was planning... Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/13779-e-model-pickup/#findComment-54954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
