I hope that the real truck will be at the Spencer show this year. 9 hours ago, gotnitro? said: Very nice build Thanks Jeff!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldcarfan27 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Great job on that rig. I'd like to build a model on it's current "as found" state, lots of details to add there! Can anyone tell me why Mack built an offset cab for these trucks? I can't think of a good reason why they needed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of a good reason why they needed them. Thanks for the kind words. Mack brochures say the offset was for improved vision, "putting the driver right behind the tire". Some sources that I've read said it improved vision on winding mountain roads. On a very sharp curve the driver could see farther ahead sitting on the far left side of the truck. Some other sources say it was because of the short hood and the engine does extend back into the passenger floor board. However, Mack made other offset cabs that the engine did not extend into the passenger floor board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
