CodeJ Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hi, I am new to the forum and I'm not sure if this is the proper spot for this or not.We have a new cab still in the crate for a Mack truck. It is for a RD model mid 90's early 2000's.Was purchased to replace one on a concrete truck but never taken out of the crate.Anybody know where I might go to sell something like this?

shortstack Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 This would be a good spot or ebay. Had someone a while back needing one for a RW. Not sure how close they would be to the same.

CodeJ Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 I didn't even think of Ebay for something like this. Thanks for the help. The price is something I'm still working on, got this thrown on my lap this morning.

CodeJ Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Sorry, no B models, though I think I would be very popular if I did.I think I will try to figure out Ebay, never tried it before.I'm still trying to nail down a $ amount. I'm helping out a company that is a victim of the economy. They sold several trucks through Ritchie Brothers, not sure why this wasn't included.

Freightrain Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 $51 LOL!!!Put it down in the "for sale" section and see if it rattles any cages. Maybe even Craigslist? With enough networking, I'm sure someone will tell someone that knows someone that needs one! Save yourself the overbloated fees of Ebay.I wonder how versatile that cab is? How far back would it work? What's different(if there is). Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

CodeJ Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 I'm not sure what the difference is, I just know that it was purchased for late 90's early 2000's trucks.

I'd start your bidding at $1000.00 without a reserve. It is giving nobody any service without being used. I really have never purchased a complete new shell so don't know what the actual value would be. I'm assuming they are still available as a service replacement assembly but they could have been discontinued by now.There are at least four differing mounting arrangements for the cab to chassis I can remember. The basic cab structure is the same however. The mountings bolt to the floor and gussets.What part of St. Louis are you in?

CodeJ Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Ah, a southside boy, the cab is located in the Maryland Heights area if you know where that is. It's not too far from the Lambert - St. Louis International Airport.

It's not too far from the Lambert - St. Louis International Airport.I'm getting a bit famiar with Lambert. I'm a radar tech with the FAA working with the crew/engineers that are repairing/upgrading that site.I left the area in 1976 when grandpa retired from Monsanto. Still have adoptive relatives in the area however I visit occasionally. I actually lived basically where Gustine, and Delor meet together. There is a big metal stamping outfit there called "General Metals" and has been for over 50 years.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

CodeJ Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 I know the area myself. I have an uncle that still lives about a half mile from there. He has lived in the same house his entire life. It was known as the Scrubby Dutch part of St. Louis. Sorry to hear you have to fly into Lambert. It's not one of the better airports for convenience. Do you get to travel to any fun cities? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/22084-new-rd-cab-in-crate/#findComment-94066 Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Scrubby Dutch"? I haven't heard that term in almost 40 years. That was typically working class neighborhoods in a simpler time.I usually don't fly much into airports. Usually drive when visiting other sites. I'm permanently stationed at Hanna City, IL which is about 20 miles due west of Peoria.

convoyduel Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 CodeJ,Did you ever sell the cab? I grew up about a mile from 5 Star and watched their stuff go through Ritchie Brothers last year. The prices were sad on some of the trucks. I saw the cab on Craigslist. PM me if you still have it or other R parts. I'd be interested.
