ive got a tan plastic foam dash in our 79 umodel its an old fleet tractor so most of the corners have been damaged by radio boxes cbs handcarts and who knows what else may have caught a ride in the cab i didnt intend to do the interior @ this point but as long as the seats are out to replace a couple weak floor panels and the headliner is down to reweld the wind deflector supports i guess theres no better time to freshen up the inside of the cab can you folks suggest any ideas as to how to get the dash lookin better its has quite a few flaws so im guessin that replacing is the way to go where could i obtain the soft parts to redo this project new / used ? im open to any suggestions check out the easy access hole that they installed on the right side of the floor

[um what happened here ? werent we just enjoying the trucks then all of a sudden we got sucked into the ditch more pictures of these things they are great id like more info & less waaaa!/quote]

like i said previously i was drawing a blank ...so i appreciate everyones help on this i will probly be back with some more questions thanks guyz

ok thanks that makes sense that it coulda been a stick on .i like the cloth hood lacing that jh put up i think thats the way im gonna go ...i appreciate the get backs from everyone .

The U model is coming along great Charles! More pictures!!!

thanks j.h & vin i moved the umodel to a different building theres no heat or electric but theres lots of windows and sunlight so ive got a little kerosun heater and a generator . so im just gonna do some little jobs like the headlite buckets hood gasket rewire the new hood ect ect just small jobs .it will be nice to just be able to go down and spend some time with the ole mack im kinda freightlinered out .......does your ole umodel have anything on the cowl to suggest it had a gasket ? im sure somebody around here will come up with some good ideas

i need to come up with a hood / cowl gasket for the 79 u model it was just rubbin fiberglass against metal when i got it ive heard its available in 20ft roles but i figure i need approx 7 ft so does anyone have any ideas what i could do for a gasket

I would say that is probably correct as that's what was holding in mine and it is a 1980 with no hood repair

thanks for responding back its not that big of a deal i was just wonderin ....ive seen some pretty wild type fleet repairs over the years

Nice truck. Looks like a hallamore paint job except red.

thanks for the compliment im lookin forward to gettin it back together .

are you talking the actual bucket or the rectangular trim around them? I think the buckets had a metal ring on the backside and were screwed thru the bucket and fiberglass into the sheet metal in the back with sheet metal screws. the rectangular trim plates were screwed on with 1/4 x 20 phillips bolts. some had 4, some had a lip that slid into the hood near the middle and just had 2 bolts.

thanks for the answers ive seen a couple different ways sheet metal screws into a tin ring and then just bolted in with machine screws i also have the rectangular trim pieces with the 2 tabs and 2 bolts i was just wonderin
