RH rocker panel is similar between R, U and DM-models. It's of straight shape and can be fabricated of sheet metal with reasonable efforts if no options for purchasing a new part. LH is another and more complicated story since U and DM have the curve for a leg to acces the step. Look at the photo above Bob posted. R-model has straight rocker panel at the left since the cab doesn't have any offset. 6 or 7 years back I was lucky catching a pair of new rockers for my R at E-bay for $100 apiece. And a couple years earlier (8-10 years back) they were avalible from Mack for about that cost. But than later I saw them for nearly $300 and not sure if they're avalible now at all. The 1st thing I would do is checking out Watts Mack on those parts. If no luck e-bay search or custom fab would be the options. It may also worth effort putting request in the "parts wanted" section of the site.

Thank you for the answer. I guess it's also possible to rework the door skin a bit in the mounting area to fit Chevy handles if you do that before painting the doors. Not the best approach to modify parts the way you wouldn't be able to install the original ones in place in the future. But could be done.

Big job! Keep on going! I'm pretty sure the result will offset the efforts. And as you do it it will be seen very soon on my mind Of the brake shoes and drums my way would be keeping them in place and forgetting about them for at least 50,000 upcoming kilometers. You will doubtly make that much driving to shows and other events for fun. So those shoes have very good chances to serve for the rest of the truck's life. Maybe even more

I saw a B-model at Macungie show fitted with similar chrome Daytons. Looked sharp from a distance but up close they were a big trouble with rust pitting all the way around each rim in the cavit area. The stampings contained "Made in China" letters. Big shame to spend some $$$, fit the wheels on a nice truck with new tyres and get such the "surprize" in a few years.

So those mounting plates you made are unseen from the outside?

Of what I noted people are usually look for LH stack mount to arrange dual exhaust. This way I wouldn't surprize if there's really low interest on the basic RH mount since no much persons need it. Just a guess, not sure exactly. Also if I'm not wrong RW1 and RW2 stack mounts are different. Shipping options/possibilities influence success of a sell either.

T2050, T2060, T2060A "compact" 6-speed, T2070, T2070B 7-speed multy-speed reverse, T2080, T2080B, T2090, T2100, T2110, T2110B, T2130, N2130B, T2180, T2180B - those which are known to me in T200 series. Each would have to have its special sticker. Speaking that older T100 series you mentioned both 6-speed and 12-speed had similar main box (of 5 speed). So that's the reason for similar sound they produced.

Nice! Keep on moving!

Great reading Paul! Keep on going!

Those steer wheels are tube type and steel lock rings are painted white. You can see a gap at the split point on the photo. Cool job done to them and cool looking truck.

Looking the under the hood picture its frame rail more tells that's a RS not RL. Probably RS600L with just some alu attachments.

It seems to me such the swap would be easy. E6 were both equipped with T100 series and T200 series trannies. At least I have one 2V E6-350 with T1078 5-speed and one 4V EM6-300 with T1070 (or so) 6-speed. And two 4V E6-300 and 350 with T2070 and T2090 respectively. Ok, one more sample - 2V EM6-285 (with tip turbine) and T2060 6-speed. As I could figure E6 crank shafts were similar. IDK if there were mods over their front ends for possible PTO attachments but rear fit of the flywheel is similar in the most (all?) cases. Of trucks I have T100 trannies were arranged with 14" clutch (and a flywheel for it) and T200 mated to 15'5" clutch (with specific to it flywheel). I have no idea could the clutches (with flywheels) be interchanged between T100 and T200 trannies but it may be even possible since both tranny families had 2" input shaft. T300 series looks very similar to T200 but I didn't investigate actual differences. There was one interesting unit for sale locally but before I arranged the deal it had gone to scrap. So no experience was achived. One mote point to check out is the flywheel housing. Basically all must fit every E6 engine block and have similar (SAE #1?) transmission fit. But of what I noted there were multiple styles cast both of iron or alu with different rear crank seal housing (separate or unified) and some could have rear mounted PTO fittment. But overall it looks to me the most variants should serve regarding their positioning on engine, fitting every Mack tranny of the years and accepting 14" or 14,5" clutch. Those older single countershaft transmissions had different fittment to the flywheel housing. Not all probably but many had two big bolts (or studs) over the top of the mounting circle to the engine. And I wouldn't be surprized if even those old motors could be coupled with T200 series trannies if needed flywheel housing is installed. Sure worth to point out clutch drive and prop shaft fittment must be kept in mind. TRD67/72 were push type clutches for example. But all T100, T200 and T300 were used with the pull type.

Wicked but cool picture. That bulldog might fight an avarage hog. Is that his artwork?

Yes, as said above. 40 years is a large time frame. In late 40's to early 60's and possibly even later Mack had two main families of transmissions - T67 and T72. Both with a single countershaft. Each series conteined basic 5-speed units and with a compound box attached was offered in Duplex (10-speed), Triplex (15 or so speed) and Quadriplex (18 or 20-speed) units. Than in the late 60's or early 70's the next generation with 3 countershafts came on the market. They were basically called T100 such as T105 or T106 for 5 and 6 speed with variations of markings such as T1078 (for 6-speed(!)) and also TRD's for Duplex and TRT's for Triplex. Than later in early 80's that generation was refreshed with newer design T200 series (also 3 countershaft design). Those were T2050 for 5-speed, T2060 for 6-speed and the same way up to T2180 18-speedy unit. Ok, in 90's next gen T300 took place which may be found taking place in later series RD or DM trucks. Each of those mentioned and unmentioned transmissions had its special shifting diagram plate. In the late 70's and further those were stickers. And in earlier times metal plaques were used attached to cab sheet metal with screws. Also some (probably many) trannies got shift diagrams of different styles during the years and worth to point out every sticker/plaque had its unique part number marked on it since all they were original Mack spare parts. During more than 10 years I used to keep photo's of every shift pattern sticker/plate I saw on the net or on a real truck. And now I would doubtly count 1/20 of all shift patterns Mack used during those 40-50 years. So what you're going to do is a big deal.

Upps... Looks like the life goes on. Or goes by?
