EvanH Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Hi allI'm new to the club; great looking site so far! I am a model builder by hobby and plan on doing a scale Mack N. As a reminder then N cab was built by Budd and so is identical to the Ford C cab. In particular, if you have any pics of the chassis (scans from brochures will be fine) I'd be grateful!

Lmackattack Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 what info are you looking for I have a friend with a N model Mack. I can give him a call with some questionsTrent Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14243-mack-n-cabover-info-anyone/#findComment-56820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanH Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hi TrentI'm looking for pics really. If I can see something, I can model it. Basically, what the frame and interior look like is the info I'm looking for. I have a good idea of how the END [sic] engine and its plumbing looks like. There is a model kit of the Ford C800, and so how much to convert the Ford's frame (or scratchbuild a new one) plus the changes needed to the interior, are the modeling challenges for this project to date.what info are you looking for I have a friend with a N model Mack. I can give him a call with some questionsMany thanks!Evan Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/14243-mack-n-cabover-info-anyone/#findComment-56823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
