loweredf1 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hi guys i have came across a mack EH truck that use to be a cable tool in the oil field. My plan is to slip a 444e and allison drivetrain into this truck and pull my 44' enclosed race car trailer. i would like to leave the body wearing the patina look it has but my wife doesn't like the green and is voting for a flat black job we will see about that part later. the big 6 gasser engine and 5 speed are complete and i will probably list them up for sale for someone looking to restore. heres a few pics of the truck and one of my car (1960 falcon chassis car) it will be pulling. i think it will be a cool combo to show up with. i know it isn't the favored restoration but at least i have no intention of hacking it up and it will be back on the road again. I'm not sure how to decode it to know what year it is can anyone help me with that? model is EHT ill get the vin tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36141-eh-build/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Better than being scrapped and it IS your truck. Nice Falcon, what are you running?

loweredf1 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Yes it's mine. I have had it a few years and just decided to make it a race car puller. Car has 572" BBF with a glide N/A made 950hp. Best of 8.80@150mph so far. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36141-eh-build/#findComment-250442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
