The second frame rails are for a Semi cab. (Very Short--Think IMC Dodge L700)

So you Want the stake bed chassis frame rails for that Rescue.

 

I would love to do the Young Canopy cab from Neville Island, Pa.

Too bad I have only a few hand drawn sketches with a few measurements.

Not sure what happened to her. was at a scrap yard last time I was up there.

 

I actually started one with the Napa box issue of the C, but had no measurements/pic's/drawings at the time.

The canopy is different than all others I have seen pic's of.

 

Hope to see this Rescue started.

Dan,

Is the canopy cab on the Neville Island piece different from our own Cargostar's resin canopy cab?  His is very well done, and exceptionally priced.  If you have any side view photos, you can use Tim Bongard's "Photogrametry" method to estimate your measurements.  HTH.

Yea it is different.

Unless his had the side coming Straight down from the Belt line

instead of following the curve.

 

That is the problem, I Don't have pictures. I am not sure who I could ask either.

My Grandparents are both dead, and most of the rest of the family no longer

live on the Island.

Yea, Nice and Unusual. But.... Where do we get the Mercury badges from for a conversion??

 

How about making one a MACK?

Somewhere I've seen a reference to somebody doing a Mack conversion on these (maybe one of Evan's columns?). As for merc stuff, maybe a photo-etch set will eventually get offered; especially since the '69 Moebius shortbox will be virtually identical grill-wise to a '68 Merc (they ended production in april '68).

There are a couple of Mack N transkits for this.

Those are really neat. Kind of look like a mish-mash of the C-series and the later square style cabs.
