mackaholic Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I'm trying to get my hands on a truck here in Northern CA and I've got some questions about who built it. It started as a 4 cylinder, chain drive, light weigth AC. Sometime after that it was converted to it's current state using an early B model hood, cowl band and radiator. The frame is now a rivited triple frame using the AC suspension. The engine is a Mack 6 cylinder but the rest of the drive train is AC. The cab is an AC with the cowl being modified to fit the B hood. I've seen pictures of another truck converted just like this one and heard that they were done by a company in the Los Angeles area. Anyone heard of this or have any info on these trucks. I can't understand why anyone would go to this much trouble when they could have just bought an F model?

Speed Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Hi all; Sorry,don't know much if anything about this truck,but it sure looks a real lot like the dumps they used to build the dam down by Vegas. I've seen 'em in books and articles on the Hoover Dam project. It'd be a way cool project truck-hope you get it! Why anyone would build one rather than buying it is a good question-must be a particular combination of features the owner wanted that wasn't available at that time.
