70s Mack Cabover Intake

[HaloDW01]

My father recently bout a late 60's early 70's model Cabover. We are both unsure of the model number. The air intake actually comes down through the cab just behind the drivers seat. Out side it looks something like an upside down cake pan on top of the pipe. Any leads or information you all might have on what type of cab he has would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the somewhat vague information. I am quite new to anything involving classic rigs, especially Macks. Thank you again.

Any pictures of the truck?

Pics would help in giving you info on what kinda truck you have. Also the trucks model tag which will be on the drivers door

Not yet, I will have pictures up tomorrow as soon as possible. The cab is in rough condition but I cannot even locate a similar style through image search engines.

Sounds like you got a G model

They were built from '59 to '62

Dont think ive ever seen a g model. Looks like a cross between a h and a mh

I agree with the G-Model I.D. only other truck I can remember that the air intake came directly through the cab was the C.O.E peterbilt of the late sixties early seventies,but that would have been on the pass. side of the truck...................Mark

The only Mack that drew air through the cab was a G. There were different configurations with the actual intake. The early G's had a louvered panel aft of the drivers door that pulled air in, it also pulled all of the dust, water, mud, road spray and other contaminants into the air intake. The fix for that was to pull air through a roof mounted intake, down through the side wall structure and into the air cleaner. My G still has the roof mounted intake but is it not hooked up, maybe it will be again someday. For now it draws from under the cab at the rear of the engine.

That's a beautiful G model Doug.

I'll bet that was noisy with the intake right behind the drivers seat!

Thanks!

The air did whistle when being sucked through the cab.
