Yea any for a mh?

I got all my stuff from Big Rig Chrome shop. The toggle id plates are for peterbilt 379 the extensions are for early 80s k100 the chrome toggle nuts are fore a freightliner classic the shift pattern plate is for a eaton fuller 9sp to match mine The wiper knobs are for peterbilt as the dimmer knob. All my parts were made by rockwood were the shift plate and switch plates. The rest were made by united pacific. Big rig chrome hass all you need but are a little slow. I had to wait for some of the stuff from rock wood.

I am looking for a visor and a chrome grill. Any one have any they want to sell?

Mine only needed the #5 liner shimmed. But since they had it opened Karpers told mack to do it.

There is one on the truck paper now with a e9

E9 is worth more. My e7 is nothing special. Dime a dozen. That's why I went with anything but a v8. the parts are crazy high priced.

Also going to want to cut that rear suspension off. It will beat you to death. lol

Mine is a 93 and have the e7 350 v mack turned up with high flow injectors. Parts not to bad for the motor in price. My friend has a v8 and parts are NOT cheap for a V8. Also find a parts truck. Mack does not have a lot of parts for a MH. I am looking for one just for a parts source. I lucked out on mine. Mine was the last year and mine was ordered by company that hauled pre cast cement forms. I am the second owner and truck has 430227 miles on it and 50000 on in frame. New rubber, brakes, drums, oil, and hub seals. My interior is mint. Eaton 40k rears 3:90 on reyco spring eaton 9sp air ride cab. I have all the maintence records and even the original build sheets. I paid 12,500 for mine. I hope this helps you out with a idea of what to do.

Welcome the MH club. lol. I would run it. If you decide to part her out I will take that grill if its in good shape.

Any time. Even trade for a new chrome grill and a visor.

More pics.

Took lots of work but it done. Got the carpet in. Did a little buffing to try to bring a little life back into the paint. Polished my much needed replaced grill. If any body has one and a visor they are will to sell please let me know. Any way here are the pics.

The dash is done I will have some pictures for in the morning.

Will do Vlad. My chrome should be here Friday so I should have the dash done Saturday or sunday. Then to start on getting the frame ready to be painted black.

I just took birch wood I got at lowes that was 1/8th thick. Traced out the old panels and stained and varnished. ALOT OF VARNISH. lol.

The pins were stuck and would not budge. So out came the drill. Haha. Like the old man always says "work smarter and not harder" lol. It looked like the previous owner put lock tight on them when they put them in. Why I don't know.

Thanks. Still waiting on the chrome I ordered to show up to finish it.

Lookin lage buddy.

Got lots done on the inside. Carpet in on the right side as well as the ac box, kick plate, floor, done. Only one more wood panel to make, but I have to drill the pins out of the buttons. Waiting on chrome to come. Need to add carpet and stuff yet on the driver side and get it done. But here she is so far.

Spray ammonia on the bottom of the cab that will keep them away. It really works. A friend of mine has had a B61 for over 20 yrs out side waiting to get retored (although there is nothing left now) and does it every spring and fall and no critters yet.

I am using Birch and staining it a color called Gunstock. Then a I am going to put a bunch of cotes of varnish on it.

Here are a few pics of the wood panels I am working on for the dash.

Thanks. Let me know. I know these are going to be a pain to find. The local Mack dealer has 2 cabs with visors but they will not sell a bolt off them.

I will have to be square. I have the dash apart. I am making wood panels for it.

I have been asked for some more photos so here they are. I have now named her "Unconventional Dog" lol. Got his side almost done and polished. Still need to work on the cab some more. I threw in a few of the other beast that shares the bed with the MH.
