kscarbel2 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Give the folks at Watts Mack (provider of the BMT website) a call at 1-888-304-6225. 84QS51 and 84QS52 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48858-b-model-mack-restoration/#findComment-362421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Good luck! Almost a B model restorers nightmare! Be prepared to lay out some cabbage. There are some around,but not very reasonable.

fxfymn Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 As 57BCR says that is an almost impossible part to find and if you do find one it will be pricey. I have seen them advertised for $2000.00 plus. Kind of makes me wonder why some enterprising soul with access to a laser and a mill doesn't reproduce them out of stainless.

j hancock Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 B model vent windows haven't been available through Mack for quite a while. The windows show up on ebay and other places for sale ever so often. Last NOS pair that I heard about was $1,600.00 for the pair and they sold in a New York minute. With patience and $$$ they can be rebuilt. It will be less than 1600 bucks! Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Bigben89 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Since people are talking about it and I find it hard to believe on the cost. Are you talking about the vent window in the cab? Not sure what you mean by wing. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48858-b-model-mack-restoration/#findComment-362460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Some people call the vent window the wing window. I don't know what's up with that. Guess it depends on where you're from.

Popular Post eddeere Posted February 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2017 I had to replace the glass in mine . While I had the glass out got an estimate on having them re chromed. About $500.00 for the pair plus I had to take them apart rivets out. That was daily driver not show quality. I used Eastwoods liquid chrome. It did a fair job. I think over time with enough use it will wear off. Better than J.C. Whitneys chrome paint I used on my bike as a kid. They look better in the sun light as the flash from the camera shows some imperfections that I should have sanded out. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48858-b-model-mack-restoration/#findComment-362478 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Maddog13407 Posted February 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2017 I have sandblasted the frames, filled the pits with bondo and icing then primered and painted the frames with Trim black paint. looks good enough 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48858-b-model-mack-restoration/#findComment-362480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorback11 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Kuis, I too had to rebuild my vent window frames. However, I had four frames to work with and have one complete window left over and one frame that needs some work. The driver's window is complete with handle and glass and is in decent shape...needs rubber. The ditch side frame (inside and outside) needs some clean-up, a bit of welding, new rubber and glass. I have a handle for it but not the stem the handle goes on. I will attempt to post photos. E-mail me at greasley@cox.net if interested. Don't need a bunch of money for these things...just trying to help out.

eddeere Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 These look better than what I started with. Had to weld up some rust holes sand blast, fill pits with body filler, and couple coats of primer.
