I'm trying to take a Athearn Ford C box truck and the Ford C APA tractor...
remove the ford cabs and replace them with a mack mc resin cab kit to make this...
and
My question is, is it possible to remove the APA door decals off of the athearn model and transfer them to the mack resin models? If not does anyone know where i could find APA decals??

I purchased A-P-A decals from Pen-Bay Custom Decals P O Box 520, Winterport, ME 04496, but don't believe they are still in business. Who makes the Mack MC cab?

I did a search of penn-bay decals and didn't find anything, I don't suppose you have a couple extra you could send my way, id be willing to throw down some money for them. I found 2 mack mc cabs on ebay, go to the ho scale section and type in mack, they show up every once in awhile. The seller name is mad-humungus, he makes other cab resins as well. Ill post some pics when I get the mack cabs mounted.

Maybe - if they are in fact decals and haven't been overcoated with anything. Many models like this are now stamp printed with paint or opaque inks, so would not be removable in the sense you mean.

Moving a little slowly but this is what i have so far. Ive been having some trouble tracking down the athearn a-p-a tractor trailer so all i have is the box truck. just have to pick up some red paint and print out the decals (thanks to Bruce), ill get there eventually.

I was able to find the Ford C tractor trailer so here it is with the Ford cab removed and the Mack cab in place.
Still have to pick up paint though..

I just have the cabs painted red, i dont have an ink jet printer so i can't print the decals you sent me. and the only decal sheets i have are clear so when i order white ones ill print them out when i go to my parents house, they have an ink jet printer.
