modelmantru Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I am wanting to build a model of this cab, but I do not have any information on it. Could anyone supply me with the year and model of this cab?

j hancock Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 That is not a factory Mack cab. Many Mack trucks in Europe had custom cabs built to suit particular needs. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

modelmantru Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 Thank you for the information. That could answer the question I had as to why I could not find anything like it in my research. I still would like to build a model like it, so I guess if it doesn't come out exactly to measurements, no one will know.....ha.

Brocky Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 That is not a factory Mack cab. Many Mack trucks in Europe had custom cabs built to suit particular needs.Also another reason for different cabs outside the US was because of import tarriffs/taxes... By building the cab locally people were not importing a whole truck.. 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43214-need-help-with-identification-of-this-cab/#findComment-317095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
b615rich Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Looks really roomy (wide) plus a large windshield, err sorry, windscreen!

j hancock Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 could that be a slightly modified L cab ? I don't believe there is any L in that cab. Pretty sure it is all free style.

41chevy Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Looks like a Bussing, Faun or Henshel style cab. A French company Carrosserie G Pelpel who made B, F and R Model cabs. Bernard also made B and H model Euro Cabs. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43214-need-help-with-identification-of-this-cab/#findComment-317140 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskymack Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Check out this link:http://www.trucksplanet.com/catalog/model.php?id=531. It looks like one of these. They were apparently assembled by the Dutch company Floor who started out importing and assembling Macks after WW2 and ended up building their own trucks under the FTF logo. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43214-need-help-with-identification-of-this-cab/#findComment-317243 Share on other sites More sharing options...
