Very interesting William!
the old AC-4 kit as a logger, naturally & the yellow front rad version....Nice "shop build"
Super short KW dump, east coast style!
And that is about the best use for the AMT abomination "the junkyard dog" other than a donor chassis for a resin kit!
Thanks for posting for the rest of us to see.

I use to see the "real" yellow Mack in Oregon and have been in a couple of parades with my truck when the Mack was entered. Here is what William modeled his yellow Mack after. Mike  Hosted on Fotki |

That my friends is a Mack FJ1D. Super rare! would have had a Mack gas motor, most likely the 707 ci, single up draft carb. Much different drive layout than the AC. since the radiator is in the front, the transmission is bolted to the back of the engine as in 99% of trucks. The old AC had the rads behind & on either side of the engine & a squirrel cage blower on the flywheel. so with this all AC & AP had the transmission bolted to the jack shaft. The jack shaft is the short diff housing that is under the frame in front of the rear axle & has the small chain sprocket on each side. The later AK shaft drive chassis, had the same rad behind the engine w/ a squirrel cage blower, but the conventional transmission was mounted mid ship in the chassis. Anyway, the F series Mack were built from 1935 to 1946 aprox, and all versions EXCEPT the FKSW were chain drive. Ap40  |

now you know why I call AP40 Rick the Mack Master!! thanks for posting this Rick. and thank you William for posting these pix too. another great job!! Thanks Jim, Even more detail is the FJ cab, although similar to the AC open cab is not interchangeable. All AC, AP with the open cabs, had doors that slid down into the lower jam. They quickly rusted into the pocket & were rarely pulled back up. All of the FH, FJ, FK, FC, FT with the open cabs, had a more traditional hinged door, although it was a suicide door, still it was hinged. More detail still, the roof sections were the same, down at the floor cross section on the horizontal plane, the AC cab is constructed from flat sections of steel, where as the F series with the hinged door were curved. But i may be splitting hairs.... Ap40 |
