Popular Post dennis101279 Posted July 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2014 Well I am going take the leap and buy my first truck. A 1993 MH 613. E7 350 9 sp rayco on the rear air ride cab eaton 40k rears 3:90. 660k on her 50k on in frame. Good rubber. Interior is perfect. Not one hole drilled in the dash. Cab is perfect. Now the fun starts when she gets delivered this week. New paint on the frame and cab. New square bumper and quarter fenders. Need to find a sun visor and brackets and driver side stack brace so I can put duel straights on her. Then maybe next year stretch her out 3 more feet and put freightliner air ride on the rears. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36356-proud-new-owner-of-my-first-truck/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennis101279 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Thank every body. Didn't know that was the last year and there was only 122 made. Guess I got a bit of a rare dog. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36356-proud-new-owner-of-my-first-truck/#findComment-252923 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Welcome to the forum and the MH Club. MH Fred will want your serial number. I have an 85 MH612 and my father has a 93 MH 612. Both were bought from 39 Baby Mack(Ron). If your original bumper is in good shape and you are willing to sell it I am interested. Mine is bent and Ron said the bumper to bumper warranty had expired 1,870,000 miles ago at 100,000. Anyway, let's see some pictures when you get it home. We all love pictures. Mike.

I've got the same? spreadsheet by John Casanek.. what are the 94/95 builds then?.. assembled from 93 parts? or 'downunder' cousins...dennis101279..... just make sure when you install the sunvisor is doesn't look like a giant chrome bumper..!!!!

dennis101279 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 yarnall the bumper is junk. That's the only thing wrong with it. And don't worry BC Mack, no big drop visor for me. I want a factory one if I can find one and the brackets. If not I guess I will have to have one made from stainless. My local mack dealer has 2 complete cabs sitting in the weeds but will not part with a thing from them. There is another one in town sitting under a bridge rotting in the weeds. Stripped of everything I need. I plan on doing all the dash panels in wood but don't know what kind yet. I also need a grill. The top 3 bars are broke and have been glued together. Cant tell until you are up close but I just want to change it.

To me that means 94 and 95 were export only. Could be "downunder" but maybe someone else knows the answer.

dennis101279 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 I am in DuBois PA. I know where there is a grill if the guy will sell it. I still need check with the local mack dealer to see if they have anything. Sometimes you get lucky and dealers still have some old stock. Worth a try but I doubt it.

farmer52 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 You are not far from me. Watt has two (2) MHs that they may part out. They plan to send them to the scraper soon. I can't remember if they have a visor. BTW, there are two (2) visor styles, rounded and one that is more square. Don't know the manufacturers. (green has rounded visor)(black MH has "square" visor)I was able to locate NOS grille sections but still need upper driver's side. I bought most of them many many years ago from Mack. Mack does not have any more in stock. You can order new grille sections but they are ALL BLACK and you must buy all six (6) sections (at least $1200 for all six). There is a BMT thread concerning the MH grille. I recently found used upper and lower center sections that are better than mine. My upper center section has some bars missing and the lower section is cracked.Sent you a pm with my contact info.

Popular Post kmeitz Posted July 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2014 Is this the same truck? I was on a jobsite in Biglerville last month and one of the mechanics used it to deliver a load of precast. He told me it was an extra tractor and not many of the drivers liked to take her out. He told me she ran great and he would use her when he had to deliver a load in a pinch for his company. 5 Quote Keith http://www.flickr.com/photos/40978025@N04/ Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36356-proud-new-owner-of-my-first-truck/#findComment-253185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennis101279 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 That is her. I brought her home today. The only guy who would drive it was called "Doc". He is retiring in 2 days so they put it up for sale. Runs great. Very clean inside, solid truck. 50k on inframe.
