rwstevenson@sbcglobal.net Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'm just starting my first Mack restoration. My 1962 B75 cab is pretty rough. Are there any donor cabs out there? Or, does anybody make aftermarket floor pan panels? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27290-b75-donor-cab-or-floor-pan-parts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tippi98custom Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 let me know what you find. I am in the exact same position you are. its my first one and mine is a 63 b75, same thing, needs a floor and back lower part of the cab Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27290-b75-donor-cab-or-floor-pan-parts/#findComment-137671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 If you folks have the standard "B" cab, there aren't any aftermarket parts that I have heard of.Donor cabs show up on ebay, craigslist, your neighbors backyard, flea markets, etc., so it is just a matter of searching them out and finding the best you can.Many things can be made as needed using the old as patterns. Keep in mind that the B75 "B" cab has the sunken floor just as does the B81 series so the floor in a B30, B42, B61 isn't really going to help you out.If you have the B75 with the "L" cab, most everything is flat material with square tubing underneath for support and will be a little easier to do fab work on and the plywood center section just needs to be cut to fit.Best as I can say, Jim Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

tippi98custom Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 ok thanks, i have a b75 B cab, so the b 61 cab isnt the same for this? i would need a b81 cab if i wanted to switch cabs? chances are i am going to just fab up new stuff but if i find the right deal on a cab you never know Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27290-b75-donor-cab-or-floor-pan-parts/#findComment-137779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hello, You can use the B30, B61 cabs, I just wanted to say that they are different in the floor area. The way my projects go, I would get the floor almost all done and looking pretty good and a really excellent donor part would then become available!Jim Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
