mackmb212 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Seems a little steep for a cab for the reason that I can't find a mb with a good chassie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I thought it might have been that cab that was on eBay a couple years back.Doesn't look like it,though. Either way,seems like a lot of $$$$$ to lay out at first. A body shop's clock can eat that up pretty easy these days.

kscarbel2 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I suppose the Florida location explains the surface corrosion (instrument panel, ect.). From the condition of the exterior paint as well, it clearly spent time outdoors uncovered. That Mack standard green has been baking in the Florida sun. Still, $5,250 is a bargain. Orrville isn't building any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackmb212 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Sorry if my comment sounded cheap I guess since it's a cab over you could just paint it and put it on then you would have a nice truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I hear ya mackmb212. No need to be sorry.Its that intial shock thing,you know? Seems like a chunk of change (which it is) to lay down.But then again,an old "perforated" MB cab will cost you a bunch to fix too! This one looks like its missing the grille, headlight panels,steering column & wheel. I guess you can't have everything!

vision386 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 When I worked for A-P-A they had a brand new groomed MB cab in the Aramingo ave. (Philly) shop,i don't know what happened to it. MB's were damn good trucks,kinda understated in my opinion. As BULLHUSK said there was THOUSANDS of them all over NJ/NY/Philly makes you wonder where they all went,i mean you don't even see one in a salvage yard anymore!.......................Mark 1 Quote Mack Truck literate.
