ra7c7er Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 By simply foil-copying the nameplate and relocating it above the character line, you have a '68-'70 model. At the risk of sounding ignorant, what is foil copying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 At the risk of sounding ignorant, what is foil copying? That's burnishing some foil over the emblem, just as if you were applying bare metal foil, but using the pattern you pressed into the foil to move the emblem.

Aaronw Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) Kevin, I'll let you know if decals work out. I took some good close up photos of the various style badges a few years ago with the idea of drawing them up for decals or photo etch. I bought an ALPS printer a few years ago so at a minimum I think I could do bright chrome like decals, I also bought one of those Micro Mark photo etch kits but haven't played with it yet to see what kind of detail is possible with it. Does your Mack brochure list available engines? It looks like an inline 6 and has diesel badges on the side. I had read somewhere that they only came with gas engines, the likely candidate being a Mack rebadged Chrysler 413 V-8. Obviously with your photos diesels were available. I'm also interested in seeing more info on the FWD trucks. For those of you with multiple years worth of brochures I am particularly interested in some of the year to year details, like when the C500-550 and 950+ were dropped (late 60s I believe), and which Cummins diesel was offered and which years. I've seen conflicting information as to whether or not a Cummins was even available in the C series or only in the H, and if one was, I've seen both V (Vine, Vim, Val) and inline engines mentioned, but nothing I would consider solid like a manufacturer listing.

Chuck Most Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Sorry if it's two years late, but I did get around to snapping some engine and underhood (under-cab?) pics. The large springs just in front of the rad, where the cab pivots. A few engine shots- The accelerator linkage is visible in this photo- And a few detail shots- the rust on the back wall of the cab- Roof patina- The panel behind the seat- Some under-dash detail- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) The Mack motor shown on the previous page is an END-673, its a non turbo version of the ENDT-675 found in the R685 and DM600 kits.
