Yes, they are smaller, the aluminum frames take up a lot of the space. Not really sure why they changed the design on the L, H & C cabs . I’m sure there was a reason. Hopefully someone has more information,, Just curious. Thanks

I had a local guy cut the glass about 20 years ago,using my old glass as a pattern. Yea the C model and H model I have don’t have the aluminum frames like that standard L cab. I like the look of the aluminum when it’s shiny!

Yes ! Took it over to a buddy of mine who helps me with Trans & Rears ,. Luckily he’s got a press big enough to get it apart.

Both the guy that drove it for the welding supply and my friend that bought it from them in 1969 ( both gentlemen are 88 years old) Said it wasn’t a bright white on top,they called it creamy, it was so faded when I started driving it In 77 I can’t remember. So I had it mixed a little “ Creamy “ .
Thank you!

Yea I’m still going with the Coca Cola , even though it’s a black and white picture, you can tell the fenders on the ho-jo picture were black, and when I started driving this LJ in the late 70s the fenders were yellowish orange, I just have never found a picture of it with a Coke logo on it , The fellow that drove it from 1966 to 1969 here in Asheville for Pioneer Welding Supply confirmed the colors I am using were correct, and Pioneer Purchased it in 1963 and replaced the engine with a new reman 220 , but never repainted it . The state of North Carolina has the information on the owners before 1963 ,, But will not tell me, I have written them a letter and the reply is they can’t give out confidential information. As for the fenders, I’m sure I’ll get motivated and find or make me a good set when I get that far along.

Replying to Bob ,, Still not sure who’s idea to paint the truck these colors when it was new , all the old guys I new said it was Coke , But it also looks like the old Ho-Jo picture. I’m going back with the original colors. As for the fenders that will probably be my last project on this ( and I am not excited about it, you are correct! ) Thanks for the complainants!
Vlad , Yes you are 100% correct about the input of the people on this site, I have already met some in person, and talked to. Great people I would have never knew had it not been for these old Mack’s.

Thank you so much for the comments! Looking back now it’s great Memories, And the trucks are just the material object's that we can relate our Family & Friends to . From the time we spot one of these old trucks , bringing it home, to restoring it we have memories of all the people who helped us. My Grandson never knew my Dad, But the C Model and all the pictures of it and Dad( My Son drove the C Model to my Dads funeral, he was 17 ) Tie them all together. Same with the LJ , Hopefully it will create good memories for My Son & Grandson and Friends long after I’m gone. Vlad ,Keep having fun, Make Memories!

Thank you! I got all the fender parts blasted, but I have been working on the cab so I can get it on and start wiring it. I’m still hoping that a better set of fenders will turn up , but that’s probably wishful thinking. I got a couple more hours to paint the bottom of the cab today, hopefully next week I can spray the top white, then I can install the glass and and bolt the dashboard in and start wiring.

Thanks Vlad for the Birthday wishes! Yes there are a lot of “Stuff “ here! When my Dad was living we collected and restored several old Mack’s ( and tractors ) , Then my Son got into the Superliners, he’s up to about 6 I think, now my Grandson wants to get everything out and ride in them,, so my semi- retirement is FULL time between working on my 30 year LJ project and Being Grandpa! But I Love it !

Thank You, The seam is still there, just not as noticeable ,when I replaced the cab back I put some filler around it just to seal it up good, I have got the trim, and have already pre drilled for it , hopefully I can get the top painted white in the next week or so and probably go ahead and install that and the lights. ( i was over your way Monday, hauling equipment with one of our Superliners to the new hospital )
