Popular Post chalky1601 Posted November 6, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2014 These are the first pictures , nothing done to it yet still feeling lucky its mine,The reality of realizing what the f**k am I doing and more importantly how the hell am I going to get some of these parts hasn't sunk in yet,but I am ready for that roadblock and lucky that my wife thinks its really cool too! 7 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37635-new-old-mack-restorer/#findComment-265819 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Welcome aboard. Plenty of E model parts are out there. Very common truck. Good luck with it.A friend has a running EH for sale that would make a great donor for the project if you are interested.

39 Baby Mack Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Looks good Bill,Chassis # looks like it's a "DE" (still an "E" model), 335th one made. Contact the Mack Museum in Allentown, they should be able to get you a chassis record for your truck.There is no charge for this, although a generous donation is highly recommended.Go to their website for information, also should be a list for parts suppliers for antique Mack trucks.Ron Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37635-new-old-mack-restorer/#findComment-265825 Share on other sites More sharing options...

39 Baby Mack Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Not to step on your toes Carl, but the sheet metal (hood, radiator shell, and grill) not to mention the radiator on an "EH" are much larger than the ones on the smaller "E" models. The length of the cowl on the cab of the larger "E" models is also longer (same length of the cowl on an "A" model)This truck looks to be a "DE"Most interior parts and windshield would pretty much be the same.Ron 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37635-new-old-mack-restorer/#findComment-265828 Share on other sites More sharing options...
