steve s. Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 H 62 is the model. It would have been built with a gas engine. An H 63 would have been a diesel. My guess would be about a 1956 model year. Later H cabs did not have the small window in the side of the sleeper. It looks to have some usable parts. What are your plans?

mrhurt Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 my plans would be bring it back to life if possible, I was thinking later model chassis under it though. Cab is dented all over, but floors seem solid. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41491-new-help-identify-truck/#findComment-301326 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrhurt Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 do you know if they listed the VIN number on the cabs anywhere? the frame is long gone, there is 2 tags on pass side, 1 of them has chassis number. dont know if that was number listed on title or not.second tag just has AC 154 1346 on it, dont know what that is.

Superdog Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 probably a 464 or 510 Mack gas. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41491-new-help-identify-truck/#findComment-301397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 most likely a 464 with up or down draft carb. cant remember what year the 540 came out but I wanna say it was when they did away with the B60 single axle and B62sx models and just offered the B68 to cover both models with the 540 engine . 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41491-new-help-identify-truck/#findComment-301407 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrhurt Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 the chassis # is the VIN,the other tag is cab assembly #. Good find,they only made 64 H62'sok so i did some reading and found H62's were made from 1954 to 1958. were there 64 made each year or was just 64 total made in the whole span of 5 years production?just wondering, and without chassis there is no real way to tell which year?

j hancock Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Total.Send the VIN and a donation to the Mack Museum and they will get you the original info for your cab with year built.

j hancock Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I thought you said you had two tags, One with the chassis number? Chassis number is the VIN.Like H62T-1034.

mrhurt Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Ok, so since the frame is long gone to the crusher, confirmed by the previous owner, kind of thought it. had to ask though.the attached pictures show my plans, i know its not in stock form, but i just cant help but think, it will be so cool to see this rolling down the road again one day.i plan on putting it on this motor home chassis, with a car hauler bed on the back. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41491-new-help-identify-truck/#findComment-303804 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrhurt Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 anybody have a source for windows, i am guessing H62 and H63 will have identical windows, dont know if other models will fit.
