Love the old Macks! I drove a R model for several years. Always wanted to take a B 61 and put it on a 1 ton frame with a Cummins in it and a pickup bed. Might still do it one of these days if a good cab and hood ever comes my way...
 
that grill shell I was told it was a 31 I do not know for sure it appears correct, it was painted with what looked like house paint like the color you'd do a summer camp, stripease and some brake clean got rid of that. grill is a peterbuilt cab over ,emblem ford focus with a decal
 
Installed Christmas present from son and started making a template for a headlight / turn signal mount , finally got steering yoke back from friends machine shop, should have done it my self, still going to have to weld it he didn't understand double d maybe not this type of double d. any thoughts on the headlight mount ?

looking great[cl

"earthman" Headlight mount is too bulky for my taste. Cutting the center out would be better i think.

0R drill holes in them like these in the pics.

Later :cool:
