mackr400 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Hi looking at a single axle u model dump the truck is in pretty decent shape except the cab is really rusty i was wondering if the where any clean cabs out there or would a dm cab be the same. Im sure the exact year yet but it dose have the tan plastic dash and a 237 and 5 speed in it. thanks for the help Phil Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43955-u-model-cab/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I put a U model cab on a DM, It was a unbolt and bolt in installation. It was a mid 80's cab on a 1970 frame. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43955-u-model-cab/#findComment-323884 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like your cab is a Mack type CA363.CA36 (pre 1973 R-model)CA361 (pre 1973 U-DM)CA363 (post 73-81 U-model)CA49 (post 73 R/RD/RS/RL - fiberglass and steel hood)CA491 (post 73 DM - fiberglass hood / 81' on U-model)CA492 (post 73 DM - steel hood)CA494 (RWI600/700 Super-Liner) Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43955-u-model-cab/#findComment-323948 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Thanks for the info this is a 1980 and has the flat back cab on it. What is a flat back cab?All of what I've seen had two horizontal "dents" from left to right.

mackr400 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 I think it means it has the smaller depth cab like the early r's most of them had the steel dash unlike the newer r's there deeper or bubble out. I could be wrong but that is what I gathered so far Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43955-u-model-cab/#findComment-323980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 You are right. Early "flat" back versus the +3 later cab. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
