Tedcamp Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 When I was a Mack salesman in the 1980's (a truck salesman's wildest dream come true) I was told there were more "R" model cabs installed on trucks than any other cab in history. I believed it then and I believe it now. Does anyone have a number? tedcamp@telus.net Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51135-how-many-r-model-cabs-were-installed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogboy Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 What about the "Budd" cab used by Ford, Mack, and to a lesser extent, FWD? There were a lot of those around. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51135-how-many-r-model-cabs-were-installed/#findComment-380742 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DailyDiesel Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Hmmm don't know the number but probably in the top 5 for sure. The Budd cab and the S-Series International cab would be in that list too.

Phase 1 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Possibly if it is only class 8 trucks. Ford and GM sell millions of pickup trucks using the same cabs.

And you can really throw some crap in the game when you consider that the big 3 and IH used pick up cabs as the basis for a lot of Class 8 trucks as well.
