Popular Post JoeH Posted January 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2023 1979 R686ST This guy is likely getting retired in June while there's still something left to restore. Where do we get cab repair panels for it? Roof, sections around rear window, gutters.... Undecided if it'll get a 5th wheel or a coat of paint inside & out on the mixer body. My dad bought the mixer in 1976 on a different horse, and the truck in 1987 when the old horse died. Both truck and mixer are good talking pieces, & you'll be hard pressed to find an older volumetric mixer than this one. (It's a 1968 Daffin. Volumetric Mixers were invented around 1962) 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72418-r-model-cab-panels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Not sure if they’re available, but I would check with an auto body supply. A lot of that shit is still available through Mack of course I would try watts first roof skin and doors good luck. Yeah, same here. I really don’t need any body parts are very fortunate. My truck just needs a lot of attention on the fiberglass nose which I am pretty good with ..
