VaPatentman Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I need the center chrome strips (4) total pieces that mount adjacent to the Mack hood logo. In front of and behind. I have attached a pic so you can see where the strips are located. Any leads would be greatly appreciated--Thanks Greg Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46244-center-hood-chrome-strips-39-42-de-or-e-model/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I need a couple of the short strips myself. The short strips are back cut and contoured on one end to nest against the "Mack" emblem. My search indicates that they are unique and only apply to the ED and DE models. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Jim, I suppose a bit of file work would convert a common strip into such an unique one. 2 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46244-center-hood-chrome-strips-39-42-de-or-e-model/#findComment-342525 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 True. The long ones are a little tricky to find also. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

VaPatentman Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Jim, Thanks for the info about the small strips being unique to ED and DE trucks. I have a plan to fabricate some when I have somen spare time. I will keep you posted on progress.

j hancock Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I am in the same deal. I think making them out of brass stock may be the route to take. It will be easy to work into shape and will be the perfect base metal for chrome plating. Tap holes to attach from the back and it will work. Before that, I have to do sheet metal repair, rebuild the engine and trans, wiring and paint and......... I have some time to think about the strips! 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

VaPatentman Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) I am on the same page with you. Other more pressing projects! Here is a screen shot from Hemmings and it looks like the ED or DE in the background is also in need of hood strips Edited August 16, 2016 by VaPatentman wrong photo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46244-center-hood-chrome-strips-39-42-de-or-e-model/#findComment-342570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
