Yoos Brothers Construction Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I posted up on ACMOC's website about 1940's Caterpillar truck engines and somebody posted thisphoto. It's an AB Mack log truck powered by a D4400 Caterpillar Diesel dating to about 1938 or so.I've seen another similar AB in a Mack book but it has a D3400 Caterpillar Diesel engine in it.This would be the perfect truck for me, Antique Mack powered by an Antique Caterpillar engine.I thought I would post it up for anyones interest. Also I know where there is an AB chasis withno engine that I might get to make a clone just for something a little different. I already havethe engine so all I would need is a cab, 2 fenders, and a transmission.Hope you enjoy this picture.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoos Brothers Construction Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) That is the one I was thinking of. The AB I know of has hard rubber tires. Does any one know wherethere is a set of rims and spokes like the ones pictured or similar ones? Also I would need a set of fendersand a cab. Even a patern of the cab and fenders would help. I would appritiate anyhelp on the matter. Thanks. Edited February 15, 2010 by Yoos Brothers Construction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
