Lmackattack Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 a Friend that makes 3D printed plastic was asking if I know where to find any line drawings that show Dims and measurements on the cab and hoods offered for B model Macks. Anything such as BBC or overall width can help but higher detailed stuff would really be helpful. If not I can take measurements off my Truck for him.Thanks for lookingTrent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 On the back of the spec sheets they usually post the measurements you want. Frame width, hood length cab height,bbc etc.Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I know they offer an R cab, is your friend going to make a B cab? That would be sweet. I would almost put the money out for that(I know they aren't cheap). I could just about make my truck then as the typical KH bunk is large and would mimic mine pretty well. Just have to remove one of the tandems(Or buy another chassis and start over?). Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Vladislav Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I haven't seen any good blueprints of a B-model cab although I'm shure the best way is to make measurments off your truck or ask the friend about putting his hends on a 3D scanner.I'm not in trust to blueprints excepting factory production drawings of an exactly part.

Lmackattack Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Thanks Joe. Yes I see that the spec sheets have those basic Dims. I'm just hoping that there may be full detail drawings that someone put their hands on. If not that is a great startLarry, Yes This is going to be for 1/14 scale R/C trucks. I will keep you posted on any news.Vlad, I asked him about scanning a smaller version of a model. I think it is an option altho with his abilities a drawing would be more precise and he seams a wiz on the computer.as their are not that many large scale B models that look correct.

Vladislav Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I meant to scan a real truck.When I tried to order 3D work of the Mack chassis components the guy came to me with a portable scanner and worked out the front hub.He needed the stuff in darkness (inside the shop) and needed it in matt white (asked if he could spray it over with water-removable paint).I said "no" so he applied many small pieces of paper scotch and put a black point with a marker pen on every one. Than scanned during an hour. I saw the general 3D object on his display but it needed longer work out to clean off all the unnesesarry points wich came into his drowing by some way. It was about 2 years back and he's still doing that Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Maney Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 For a donation, the Mack Trucks Historical Museum could probably be of assistance. 1 Quote Interested in Old Trucks? Check out: www.antiquetruckclubofamerica.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 This info will give the various BBC measurements.http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/tutorials/article/11-b-model-cab-data/ Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
