  1. Yea, my also (was).

    Each time I'm looking in the window I see these terrible aftermarket lights...

    I know I need a grill, original wheels, cab repaint.

    But I want headlight plates. I need to change them, and the look of the truck will changes to be better.

  2. Aberdeen Proving Grounds and also Ron Gasser at the American Military Foundation in Virginia both have Mack EFU's as Utility trucks in Stateside markings. They were both used during WWII for defense plant work and were pressed into service directly following Pearl Harbor from civvy service.. Barts book is a great reference but there are a few units that slipped past, same as in Wheels and Tracks when it was published. But the suggestion to touch base with the military collectors was that the EFU, EHU and EMU cabs are for the most part common to each other parts wise. Paul

    Thank you, Paul.

    Wheels and Tracks are out of my attention due to the shortage of time for looking for..

    Do you mean some Bart's publication in Wheels&Tracks?

  3. The WW2 military E models were EH and EHU of 1942.

    Had EN310 and EN354 gassers.

    They were built basically as commercials but with a lustreless trim - front grill, bumper, headlights and so on.

    Starting 1943 the militarized version of EH came into production with an oped cab and a flat kind front fenders.

    Were were lots of other E-series Macks in the military service though they were commercial trucks.

  4. Hi Pawel,

    I noted, yes, and I was surprized to see that special bogie carriers on the Superliner chassis.

    So if anybody has a mind of their use after the 60's I'm in the interest to learn about.

    One more over-roof wiev I made on days.

    You can also see the bullet-type top lights on Watt's truck sales online shop, just look the forum list.

    I'm going to get a set of although the price is a bit off a model-building range :blush:

  5. Great - now we are talking about "members".

    Members of BMT right?

    By the way of contacting BMT members I also contacting the CROSS MEMBERS of the frame,

    and usualy do it with a hammer instead a keyboard.

    Vinny, just try to scratch a piece of paint from a good protected area - somewhere under the lay of greese and where was not extremely hot.

    I suppose a common acrilic body paint is workable on an engine excepting exhaust.

    So you can order a clousest color mix.

    If you want to use anything cheaper just try a paint shop though with a piece of the color.

  6. I can only say, I didn't see Rob here in Russia and didn't invite him to me,

    so I can't keep the search company.

    As for a serious, I haven't recieve any mail from him last weeks.

    This way I also think "a call or visit is in order".

    And hope he's Ok.
