Ok, after a quick Google image search, it at least appears to me that the CH, Granite, Titan, and even the Pinnacle all share the same basic cab.

Titan:

Pinnacle:

Maybe Eric will possibly be able to find a way to offer all of them, since it would basically be hoods he'd have to get masters of.

Yes they do all share the same 25+ year old all steel welded cab. One of the best in the industry, but like everything else Volvo gets there hands on, this too will soon be a distant memory and fall in line for what Mack trucks used to be.

As for converting a CH hood into a Granite, why? it is completely different & would be much simpler to work from a clean slate. I suspect if one is done, it will be the set forward axle, late model version with the larger grille opening. But for accuracy, if the current / late model version is offered then so should the MP-8 engine & all of the supporting EGR-DPF-SCR emissions must be included for accuracy.

Rick,

You're the "Mack Guy", you'd know!

Thanks brother!

If i were to pattern up & cast a new hood for the CL cab, I would do the Vision (CXU) set back front axle & one of the most popular units for OTR, LTL, TL, common carriers and so on. Day cab, sleeper, fairings, the whole lot.

Hopefully Moebius does a Mack. Maybe they are following ERTL when they first started doing model trucks they did an international first also.
