If you don't mind me asking, what are new complete mirrors worth for a Superliner?

I don't know what the prices are. We had a spare set in stock, so we didn't have to purchase any..

Some progress pictures. As you can see the truck has glass. All new glasses was used.

The door glass were reproduction pieces made by the same company who manufactured them for Mack Truck.

All new weather stripping, window seals, felts, fasteners, door handles, and interior panels.

The mirrors have been installed. The brackets are original. The mirrors are new.

The visor was mounted, new factory Hadley Horns, and cab lights were mounted.

She is getting closer and closer.. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Okay I will say it

The truck looks awesome, but the dogs are on the wrong sides.

Are they? Hell, I will be honest and say I really didn't know what side went where. I will switch them. Thanks for catching that and telling me. All of our other Mack's have high polished Prutsman Mirrors.

I just have the polished ones too, I cant afford the Mack dog mirrors. I have a used set but they need some help, waiting to come across another used set maybe I can get the right parts to make one good pair.

Doug,

Is Don (or another Mack retiree) still at the museum? Perhaps he can set the story straight on the dogs...facing in or facing out? Inquiring minds want to know!

[Jake86]

I would love to know this..

I have my dogs facing out and they where that way when I got the truck. But would be curious on the correct placement.

Here is some of today's progress.

The C Channel rubber for the tank straps came in today, so I was able to mount the driver side tank today. All of the fuel lines were ran and fastened.
