h67st 623 Posted August 29, 2018 This is a PAI brand cover for an R model if it will work for you. https://www.ebay.com/itm/MACK-TRUCK-R-MODEL-BATTERY-BOX-COVER-NEW/302854420998?hash=item468387ba06:g:1LQAAOSwxzdaAHsC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seyser 137 Posted September 17, 2018 It appears that all the new units are of a slightly different style. Here is a pic of mine, these is an original from a 79 model year truck. Anyone have one like this with the three protruding dimples on the sides? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kscarbel2 3,746 Posted September 17, 2018 Yours, with the three protruding dimples, is not factory. A 32MK53P1 never had them. Call Watt's Mack at 1-888-304-6225 and ask for a 32MK53 (black painted) or 32MK53P4 (chrome). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seyser 137 Posted September 17, 2018 I am going to have to disagree with you on that. I am positive these are original box covers. I was also at a local junk yard the other day that had 2early 70s R models that had the exact same covers although they were rusted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vladislav 2,346 Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) Is the one you have with those 3 dimples has 3 horisontal lines on the front wall istead of an "X" pressing? Looks like Canadian cover to me. I even have this one and I don't need it. So if you come pick it up I'd give you a cup of tea either P.S. As far as I know an American style "X" cover puts in place of that one as like it was there before for years.

Maddog13407 2,068 Posted September 18, 2018 usually those dimples were drilled out and a tin flap added and they were for a DM model but you know Mack, they were universal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seyser 137 Posted September 19, 2018 Mine have the X pressed on the ends as you can see in this pic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
