Doug Maney Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 The N was built as a tandem. All N's were built with dual headlights and the trim panel between them.The Mack emblem on the front is the same emblem that was used on C, G and W models. They are considerably different than the B/H emblem.The Mack scripts on the side were amaller than standard. These Mack scripts were only used on N's.Good Luck with the model.

Bobby Covert Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Look for the guy on ebay that sells Mack truck sales literature. It is mostly spec sheets that have a picture of the truck represented in the upper right corner. They are for sale for about 10-15 dollars a piece.
