mackdaddy Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Brought home a G77 one owner .........Nice truck that came with a 300 cummins. Note the frame modification made at the factory for the blower. There are brackets on the cab? is that where the mirrors should be in lieu of the door mount?

Superdog Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Congrats Dan,that's a rare one for sure. They only made 24 of them.Does it still have a supercharged Cummins in it? Can't wait to see pics. All of my G's have door mounted mirrors,and without going out and looking,I can't place any extra brackets.

Superdog Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Is that a smaller than normal bunk,or its it just the angle? And no side box doors,very unusal and sweet looking truck.Can't wait to see what you do with it.If you ned anything let me know,I have a few parts.I'm lost on those brackets,don't know what they are for.

other dog Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Are you talking about the brackets on the front corners? About all the 7000 Whites had those, never did know what they were for.

The F shows two sizes, possibly it was offered on the later production G's.

Green Dash Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Beautiful truck.Aftermarket wind deflectors were common on Canadian trucks years ago. I've seen several Kenworth and Freightliner cabovers with them. The earlier Ford W9000's had them from the factory.

Doug Maney Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 What year is it supposed to be? I would guess a late '61 or '62. I agree with Mike, the bunk does look small, the vent appears to be in the standard position but the distance to the back of the cab is short. All of the G's except for the 1959 models with the louvered had an left compartment, yours does not. I attached a picture of one of mine, the distance to the back of the cab is evident. The interior photo really tells the tale.This is the first one like that I have seen and I have seen a bunch. I am interested to see the info from the Mack Museum on the G77.Again, Great score! 1 Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

Popular Post mackdaddy Posted September 21, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2014 The brackets for the wind deflectors look factory installed? It is the short bunk version and measures 70". it is also a 1961 model. When I get it off the trailer and can get the cab up I will send more pics. I had 3 other G models including one that had the grill on the left side for the air intake. The silver cab was from a G 77 also and was just like new. Note the red cab is about 10" shorter than the silver cab too. On the 61 I just got there is a factory storage box right behind the door for the cab jack. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37136-g-77/#findComment-260704 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phase 1 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 There were seven G-77 six wheelers built in 1961.Is that a battery charger on the back of the silver cab?

Doug Maney Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I think that is a gas tank for a cab heater mounted on the back of the cab. The factory heater didn't keep things very warm. 1 Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

mackdaddy Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 The silver cab is just sitting on the frame of the red one. The added sheet metal on the left is the storage box.
