jon_wad Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Hi everyone. Heres my story, i a trying to find a set of mud flaps for an old mack. my grandfather bought an old mack and has restored it all himself, has 100s of hours into it. but he has been getting sick and hasnt finished. so now we (more my uncle) are finishing it before he moves on, so he can see it. (he has no idea)the other day when i took him for a drive to get out of the hospital we saw a mack and it had mud flaps on it. he told me that the dog was changed years ago and that he was looking for a set of vintage mud flaps for his truck but never found them and now the truck will never be finished. (little does he know) so i want to find a set of mudflaps that has the old vintage dog on them, but i dont know what that dog is. or were to get them.so i'm asking for some help of guidance into what the dog looks like and the difference, and maybe a website that has the mud flaps.sorry for the spell.thanks.

HeavyGunner Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Maybe this can point you in the right direction. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/1809-5-color-70s-logo-mudflaps/ Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

j hancock Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 The black ones Superdog has a posted picture of would look great on that B model and are easily available through Watt's Mack.Post some in progress or done pics of your B if you can.

Lmackattack Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 My bad I did not see that link from my Phone. Then Yes I think Superdog shows period correct mud flaps for a B model.

Gmerrill0516 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 You're doing a good thing for the old buck. God bless you and your uncle for the effort. You found the right spot for questions. keep us posted on the project and if anything else comes up, give us a try and for sure someone will know the answer. Lots of smart guys on here...but don't tell them I said so, it goes right to their heads.Greg Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40437-help-with-old-mack/#findComment-293073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I would say those black mud flaps seem to me as the only way to get the correct style stuff.It was discussed many times on here and the most other options of old ages were found out no longer avalible.Sure you may find a happy chance to get a nice set from some person but I don't remember anything showed out for a while.I myself ordered the black set from Watt's and happy with them.It's sure more difficult to me to get anything becase I'm overseas but I was keeping my eye on this matter for no less than a couple of years.Neat looking B-model you posted, good luck on the project.Vlad Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40437-help-with-old-mack/#findComment-293082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryS Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Very nice truck. Those mudflaps SD shows will set it off just right. Here's hoping you can get it ready and take your Dad for a ride. It will be something that will make him very happy and you will never forget.
