1941 Mack EQ tandem TK **Exceptional Condition**
Amos V. replied to Amos V.'s topic in Trucks for Sale
I personally would love to have this truck and remove the flat bed and add a fifth wheel. Then, restore a period correct trailer to pull. Amazing piece of Mack history!! -
Hello all, I am posting this for a friend of mine that is trying to sell this 1941 Mack EQ that is in amazing condition. The truck has been restored about 15 to 20 yrs ago and still looks amazing. I don't have all the specifics yet or drivetrain specs. But, if anyone is interested you can call, text or email him directly. He's a really good guy. So here is the info. Good Luck!!!! I will try and load the pics here or in another post. Paul Fisher Mount Pocono, Pa 18344 Phone (570) 842-5000 Fax (570) 842-1555 paulfisherinc@aol.com

Hello, around the 5,800 gallon which would be a tandem axle. I am REALLY after a late 50's early 60's Trailmobile Model# T40222 asphalt tanker. I found one that was on a RB Auction but I think it was like several years ago somewhere in Texas. The one in the pic above will work too.
-
Any help with that would greatly be appreciated. Pics, phone number, Etc.
-
Anyone know of any Trailmobile tankers like the one in this pic out there sitting somewhere. This was from a 2017 post on here. I am looking to restore one close to this model. Mid 1950's into 60's.
-
Forwarding this in case someone is looking. A friend forwarded this pic from Facesbook he found under Mack parts/Mack Hood.. Looks like a Mercury in the back round. Not sure if it's for sale but worth a message or call to see. It looks salvageable. Getting harder to find.

Hi Dennis, Is this a sleeper truck? Mid-rise or high roof? Amos
-
There are two fields of Mack stuff. Call Rusty and ask. The number is listed in the post.
-
Grottoes, Virgina. Easy run I-81 South straight in.
-
Yeah Rusty has a lot of stuff. I am planning another trip down toward the last week of the month. I am looking for a early 70's under dash A/C unit with the round vents. Hoping he has one in the yard. He has a lot of nice cabs too. Text him and see what you guys can work out. I really CANNOT tolerate small minded government officials with their nepotism and do for their buddies and screw everyone else mentality. I don't know the back story but from what Charlie and Rusty said is that if his Dad couldn't fix it, you were screwed.. LOL. But I can only assume that the Boroughs, Townships, and Municipalities in that area most likely took their trucks to him to get repaired for ALLL those years. Probably for next to nothing too. But, Now that he's gone this is how you pay homage to the man and his family.. By screwing his family and forcing them to comply... Now.. Really?? Familiar story to us all I guess.. But text or call him. I am sure he has something for everyone at some point.

Hello All, I am helping get the word out. I met some of the most down to earth Mack guys a few weeks ago at the Macungie Pa. show. I was looking for parts and met a guy, that knew a guy, that heard of a guy, that knew a guy that had the parts I was looking for. They are Matt Pfahls, Tony Russo, Charlie Dinkle and Rusty Pirlley. All great Mack guys. Rusty's Father whom had been an extensive Mack mechanic and parts collector for over 40 years who sadly passed away recently. Rusty is now being subjected to Code Enforcement and the typical and usual crack down of yard cleaning coincidentally and has two(2) yards or fields of trucks, parts, sleepers, trailers, and related truck equipment, some of which are brand new uninstalled NOS parts, in packages and crates which he is now selling. In the interest of keeping parts in circulation and this hobby and obsession going, I asked him to post this so that we can get parts and trucks to fellow Mack enthusiasts and the Mack Truck Museum. I have only seen one yard which has F-Model glider, R-Model, B-Model, RW, Cab overs and other trucks and parts. I will be posting some pics after this post because there are too many so I picked a few, but it does not do justice to what he has. These trucks and parts need to be saved. Please call or text him with your name and needs at: (540)241-0822. Check the next post for pics.

I would love to see that truck up here. Better yet it would be AWESOME for Jeff to bring his original unit from the movie in it's current state and pair them together again..
-
Boy... And "Love Machine" thought his Mack Cruiseliner was top notch with creature comforts... This is insanely cool!!!
-
He is in TOTAL compliance already... The ordinance clearly states on the STREET... It is on his PERSONAL and PRIVATE Property.. If they prosecute/cite him he will win.. However, you can bet the Farm at the next municipal meeting, they(Government) will modify and adopt the section to effect his property solely, or the wording so it effects or impacts him in a negative manner. However, he would have owned the CMV prior to the ordinance or modification. I have to find that Supreme Court ruling about CMV's being used as personal vehicles and not in a commercial application. He can use that law as reference as well. But, registering the truck as an Antique or Historic vehicle alone may work. But it depends on if they(Township/Government) adopted their Vehicle Code Law into their ordinances, which would classify or define a CMV by weight or size. Vehicle Law only. Then that would be an obstacle for him. I would attend and ask the Municipality in a pubic forum, since they are targeting owner operators with this ordinance what accommodations will they be offering to allow CMV's to be parked in Commercial Zones or areas? Is the Township or Code Enforcement plan on setting aside a parcel of land so these vehicle can be parked at legally?? Seems a bit subjective and they intend of substantially harming and effecting CMV owners and F-Model only, or as he may be the only CMV owner in that area. Smells like a recipe for a legit civil lawsuit. Especially if it effects one's livelihood. Amos.

No District Judge or Magistrate will issue you a warrant to enter the property, no matter how well you articulate the reason in your Affidavit of Probable Cause if you cannot readily see the object or target of your investigation which he would keep in a portable tent, garage, or under a tarp. This is one of the problems good people have with Government overstretching their constitutional authority. It's construction, intent, and spirit of the law was intended on the guy hoarding inoperable partially dismantled vehicles or junk, allowing all types of critters to harbor or live inside. Those type of guys would need a farm or large parcels of land. Unsightly terminology is what that have most recently added. Clearly subjective. What is for one may not be for another. F-Model has a wonderful piece of transportation history and appears to be very close to a survivor. Many of us would love to have. With a few steps like a DMV Antique registration plate and nominal insurance and a portable tent or tarp he would fall well within the scope of the law. As well as it NOT being parked on a street. Business insurance is acceptable as well and could be added on. I have recommended owner/operators with rubber tired equipment do the same as Municipalities have tried to prosecute/cite skid steer and backhoe operators for operating equipment on the streets without insurance. Again, Government overstepping. PA Title 75 allows and defines certain equipment be except from those regulations (within 1 mile of the job site). But, F-Model has a legit defense as he is not parked on a street and absent any further criteria he is not in any violation from what I read. It's on his own property and not a public street. As others have suggested, YES.. Definitely do not offer what you intend on doing to Code Enforcement, but rather be polite and ensure that you are or attempt to make the issue brought into compliance. When you volunteer your intent the Government will modify the Code and be given even more oversight that effects more than just yourself. Just be cautious. I am still looking for time to find that section of case law. Amos.

Hello, Reading their Ordinance and what was Codified as law is vague. But, The advice of a tarp is perfect, except if you use the truck on a daily basis. That inconveniences no one but you. However, There is a Supreme Court ruling that prohibits Municipalities (GOVERNMENT) from prosecuting vehicle owners whom park their trucks on City streets, namely; At home, or store their vehicles on their own properties. However, The blue tarp option may fall under your State's (Search and Seizure Law's). Pa has an unreasonal search and seizure law requiring probable cause and a warrant. Pa's laws are very different than yours though. They use to issue parking tickets to CMV's within City limits. But, if the vehicle is NOT activly being used to transport commodities or trade for compensation it was deemed NOT to be a CMV. But, Cities have designated areas for parking of Commercial vehicles and they are changing those laws. But, a commercial vehicle in Pa is NOT solely defined by the vehicle registration. Hence, an Antique/Historic registration would normally exempt one that possesses said registration. However, PA got clever and designates a Commercial vehicle by it's GVWR. So, you would have to check what your State's, Motor Vehicle Code Law's definition of a Commercial Motor Vehicle. But, reading the Ordinance, your DRIVEWAY, and PRIVATE PERSONAL PROPERTY is not a Street, nor is the PUBLIC allowed access throughout your property, therefore your vehicle does not fall under that particular section or anywhere else from what I read. A street is public access. Your private property is not. I will check and see if I can find the Supreme Court Ruling and post it for you.

If anyone is looking for a very restorable project truck, a friend of mine is selling his 1960 B-Model non-OEM tandem truck with 36'' Mack sleeper. 237 Maxi and I think it's a 5 speed. Also has the original single rear to go with it. Runs but not sure how long ago. Truck is here in Northeast Pa. He is asking $2,500.00 if anyone is interested. Hoping to save it from the scrap yard and/or export !!!!
