retriever Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Looks well made except you could burn yourself on the exhaust pipe when you get out the cab. Did Mack make RHD or would this be a British thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Good for shows though. With a front overhang like that who'd need a tent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Mack make RHD or would this be a British thing? The conversion from L to R has been done before using chain / sprocket drive to link old and new steering columns.

nz2 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 The design form of having a long front overhang Is more pronounced in trucks of the 1930's. Visually, this one is all out of kilter. The size of the bonnet in height to length does not match the proportion of wheel size. The cab doors are designed to fit over a wheel arch and show the curve in the panel. The front radiator panel is probably what detracts the most, both in design of the the two panels with corner curves and the colour painted. If a lighter colour was applied reducing the contrast in this area the visual effect of disorganised construction would be lessened. What appears to be a chrome or stainless radiator surround also does not help. I suspect the vehicle was constructed for a particular use, using available items, and with a restricted budget. Long as it worked effectively that was the important point. Interesting how colour combinations can have such a strong effect on perceived body form.
