57 bcr Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Love those old conversions like that,Mark. Some guys did a pretty decent job of "grafting" LJ cab& grille shell w/ an EHU(?)hood louvers on a home made hood to make a cab over. We've seen some other one's that were cobbled up. Way to cool to cut up,for sure. Al 2 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

57 bcr Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 After taking a second look at the hood, it almost looks like one off an old Availabe C.O.E. from the '40's.

Brocky Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 That looks like a Minnisota plate? And twin steers were more common in Canada. So I would say it is North American, otherwise it might be the product of one of the European shops that recabbed WW2 stuff after the war??

Superdog Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 That truck was on an auction in either northern IA or southern MN 5 or so years ago. someone brought a pic of it to one of our local ATHS chapter meetings to show me,I later learned it sold to someone that intended to preserve it. I don't remember all the details,but it is mostly L model Mack.As I recall it belonged to a house mover.

57 bcr Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 James,Available's were Chicago-built so there may very well be a connection. Here is a retired MEYER driver,Tom Collins,standing by one sitting in Wisconsin,somewhere. NAHHH,that hood is too wide!

Superdog Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 That hood is a modified EHU or EQU hood,you can see were the removable side panels used to be. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39867-whatssitt/#findComment-288526 Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Blowing the photo up it looks like it could be either a Hendrickson or a Cline chassis under it.

1951 Mack LJ Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Here is a picture of one I looked at yesterday. It is for sale but I didn't get to talk to the owner much about prices on his trucks before he left to dinner with his wife.
