Red 460 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 I am looking for window vents for my 1958 B77 with a LS cab and dont know where to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mattb73lt Posted August 12 Popular Post Share Posted August 12 I'm assuming you mean the L cab. I can tell you from experience, these are hard to find as are most other L cab parts. While you may find the metal frames, locks and pivot hardware, no one makes the rubber pieces. I would suggest you keep asking about. If you're on facebook there are two good pages to ask on. One being for the Mack L Model and the other is for LT/LTL & B73/B75/B77 Trucks. There's a pretty good size audience there and you may find someone with those parts. The more you ask around the more you may find. The rubber seals are definitely the hardest to locate. I found a decent pair after asking a lot of people and finally found a serviceable pair I carefully cleaned and restored. Even after doing that I was very careful installing them as there were areas that were brittle and would brake/crack easily. They're out there, you just have to dig. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Wait a minute B 77???????? I think he’s got something there. We have never heard of or at least most of us. I’m sure will hear back from him…. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb73lt Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Yes, there was a B77 and a B773. I believe it could be spec'd out with the Cummins 335. I would guess the rarest of the B70 series. B73/B75's are much more common to come across. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post h67st Posted August 12 Popular Post Share Posted August 12 Pat Walsh Restorations (you can google their website) used to sell reproduction vent seals, but you'd have to check with them. You may need to call your banker first. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb73lt Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 h67st, did you purchase from him? I tried contacting him but never got through. I did get a set of windshield and the rear window seals from Neil Kaupila, from Massachusetts also. Those fit perfectly and were exact copies. I've sent numerous people to him for those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AZB755V8 Posted August 12 Popular Post Share Posted August 12 I bought L and B cab vent window seals from Steele Rubber Products in the past. Along with the window track with whiskers and lower wiper strips. That was 10 years ago. I just looked on their website and they still offer the B Cab vent window seal and window track. It would be worth a call to ask if there are any old stock L cab seals still available. I think I have a set of L cab seals left from the last restoration in good shape. I got new ones and shelved these. It will be a few months before I can get back there to look if anyone is interested? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't purchase from him. He sent me some parts lists about 6 years ago, but I ended up reusing my vent seals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
