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.

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.
