fxfymn Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 As best as my old eyes can make out from the article it is a 52 LJ that was wrecked and than glidered onto a 68 Mack with Cummins power. That would be a find. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

umodelnut Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) I thought it looked like a B model intergal sleeper welded onto a R model too. Wait it says it was an LJ so there you go.
