The fuel tanks, steps, door handles curvature of the windshields, etc. lead me to believe they tried to emulate a superior product as an afterthought?Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Superdog Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Found this abomination while looking for a picture of a specific LT-Mack.............what looks to be a perfectly useable LT,but with one noted (major) problem,it has (god forbid) a peterbilt front clip! hood,fenders,headlights.etc. My question would be,why would anyone do this?...............................MarkIf it is a Pete chassis with a LT cab & hood,which is what I'm betting,the answer is quite obvious as to why they did it.The guy was stuck with a Pete,but still wanted to maintain a little dignity,so he made it into a Mack,most untrained eyes woudn't know.If in fact it is a full blooded LT,the guy obviously wanted to keep his truck on the road,but LT parts aren't readily available,while any junkyard or city dump is overflowing with Pete parts. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24397-an-abomination/#findComment-113237 Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Probably a pete chasis. Looks like pete fuel tanks. I'd like to see more of these though not on a pete chasis. Put this on aCH chasis and you may start a trend. I would think there would be money cross breeding LT's/B's and R's onto a CH chasis.

ap40rocktruck Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Such a horrible thing to do with any part or parts of a Mack.
