mackdaddy Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 This stripped down H-633 was a one owner truck in the Stockton, CA area and pulled doubles into the late 70's. I bought it as it sits from the original owner a few years back with the idea the cab could be used to replace the one on the Mustang Mack. It came with a big crate of parts too. The story I got from the guy is that when he parked it to start driving a new truck it was in great shape. He was on the road for about a month and when he got home this is how he found it. His son and buddies decided they were going to perform a frame off restoration and stripped it down. What a shame. Anyways the old Mustang cab was really getting bad and was loaded with bondo. But after a lot of head scratching we decided to strip it down and redo the same cab. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackdaddy Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Mike,I dont think many got scrapped. Mary had an executor who was a friend and gave her instructions to sell the trucks to people who wanted them. we were all treated real fair. it was not a fire sale. There was also a shed load of old cars and trailers of parts. Pictures from inside her old office. picture has a date stamp over a pic of Mary and her husband. in the left corner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think he's been blinded by $$$$. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
