Popular Post JeffL Posted December 2, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2017 Hi, looking at this MACK for the cab. It is rough and been off the road since about 1990 based upon one inspection decal. I am looking at the Cab for a basement bar. Lot of surface rust and some corners rusted through but that's OK for the look I want. Any help is appreciated. I need to cut it likely below the doors and around front, remove the fenders, to get it through a sliding glass door opening and then reassemble. 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51839-what-mack-cabover-model-and-year/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff M Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I believe they changed to the larger "MACK" letters 1972-ish.... 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51839-what-mack-cabover-model-and-year/#findComment-386411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I have a Milwaukee metal cutting saw that is basically a skill saw with a metal cutting blade in it that would work great to cut the metal and provide a clean line to weld it back together. https://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-6370-21-8-Inch-Cutting-Circular/dp/B0000WUQI4/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1512309992&sr=8-9&keywords=metal+cutting+saw They also make blades for battery powered circular saws that work pretty well if you are in a tight spot.

JeffL Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 Thanks for all of the responses. I have to check my settings I didn’t see them. My ceilings are 8ft in the basement so this should work. Maybe take out the windows and have that be the bar height and use glass as the counter to see the gauges and not obscure any of the truck. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51839-what-mack-cabover-model-and-year/#findComment-386450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffL Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 Where is the vin plate on this truck. I would think this was the body tag.

My daughters always try and figure out what new gadget I need for Christmas this time of year. Yep; I have a terrible tool addiction. I've tried rehab, adhering to a 12 step plan to only use hand tools, but I keep backsliding and now that Amazon is around I can feed my habit without even leaving the house. I do keep a list of tools I thought I might like to have, but did not need right away to get a particular job done, as a potential Xmas list. I use a lot of the tools my Dad and Granddad left me and it is pretty special to me to be able to think about them while I'm doing something and to realize that they probably did the same task at some point in their lives with the same tools. A very good friend of my Dads who was a cabinet maker was diagnosed with fatal cancer and given a very short time to live. In response he had all of his friends come by and take one tool from him of their choice. He said that way every time the tool was used they would think of him and keep his memory alive. I still use a router he gave my Dad and I do think of him when I use it. 4 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

JeffL Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 I’ll stop back over again next weekend to see if I can find the vin tag. They looked very similar for all the years they were made. This one had a square tank if it was original.

A scrapper yes because nothing from it would benefit a restorer, for a few dollars in his pocket any thing that is useful is gone forever. An exporter would be acceptable because the unit would get a second life. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51839-what-mack-cabover-model-and-year/#findComment-386587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
