chris1953 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I have “Ziebart” stickers on my windows and little Ziebart plugs everywhere. It’s a 1989 and no rust so seems to have worked.

doubleclutchinweasel Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 I wish Mack had stumbled onto the idea of the galvanized cabs sooner. Imagine how may more "steel dash" cabs we might have to work with if they had been galvanized. I see quite a few of the later cabs, still with no rust on them. Oh, well... 2 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Steve L Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Galv cabs would have been especially great for F models here in OZ. In the late 60s early 70s I worked for a large company who predominantly had F modes plus a handful of flintstones, Try finding an F model to restore now —- it’s impossible, I missed the boat. 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69386-galvanized-cabs/#findComment-492373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Good F and FR models are out there sitting in yards in around Australia but people are generally to tight to spend the coin for what ever reason, Im guessing they aren't as desirable as a R model maybe dunno But no one wants to spend the coin to buy one and then chuck another 30 or 40 grand at it to make it into a good truck Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69386-galvanized-cabs/#findComment-492398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrybarbon Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Paul yes there are F models particularly at a certain Mack man's yard in SE Queensland, he has a few of them, frames and cabins are in good condition, little rust, but not complete trucks.

Steve L Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I guess he’s holding till the price goes up Harry as is presently happening with the R and Valueliner. I would like to restore an F model next once I have completed the Superliner . . . . . . that’s if the Superliner doesn’t run me out of money, fortunately I purchased it with a rebuilt engine. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69386-galvanized-cabs/#findComment-493285 Share on other sites More sharing options...
