    Seemed to me like they were just built in different years. Probably differences in the chassis either but impossible to state without observations. I also had that question in my mind.

    Nice truck. Good luck on the progress and thank you for sharing the pictures.

    Once I bought an extra hood for my R there were fender flares on it of the style as on the picture you posted. Specially designed and shaped to fit R-model fenders. But I saw plenty of R's/DM's were just a common rubber strip used on 4x4 was attached. Looked quite good being cheap at the same time and no need to make dealers scratching their heads.

    Paul, no problem with that, c'mon here. Just dodn't forget to add a snow plow to the R for more fun

    Wonder how to put together RWS and 1989. The one on the photo looks like RW2 though.

    This makes sence. Thank you, I looked over some pics of those frames and got the things clear. I keep interested in the desing of RW/MH rails, hope to put my hands on such a chassis some day.

    Were they from a bus?

    Insurance? What insurance is?? Tom, great pictures and really nice seeing you spent that great time. The pictures of your snowy yard remind me very much of my feeling when I came back home from NJ 6 weeks back

    Sounds like a deal! Locally I know some guys having Packards of those ages but definitely no wreckers

    A bit large to prepair ground for planting potato.

    Are you sure the front spring hangers are bolted to the same spots as on RW2? If so which way the axle is set back? Different position of the beam along the springs?

    Great story and a nice looking firetruck! Any facts and photos of the L-model? Vlad

    Wonder where I could see it before. Definitely I was not in person at Cape Code in 1977. Nice and tough looking dog.

    Sent.

    ...And I would like to see them rocker panels. Vlad

    Many thanks! A nice sample of classic ingenuity.

    Relisted. Not much of a Mack for the money on my mind.

    Yes, I was thinking AITM was offering that MH cab. Now seems I was wrong. Of modelling I got stuck with Mack AC. And seems I stuck tough having them big Macks. There was a Russian guy who built Aussie (or NZ) tween steer MH. He used the same cab as you posted but had to modify it really much as I remember. http://www.autoinscale.com/?section=article&id=1166

    I think END-457,ED, END-519 (have never seen such mark), END-672 and END-510 all were Lanovas. But the only engine I'm known of having Mack Lanova script on the exhaust manifold was Mack ED (519 c.i.).

    Very interesting. Have never heard of that and don't remember anyone ever noted on here. Do you have any factory pics of the setup or description? And I'm sure EQ was just the next heavier series E after EH being driven with common Mack axles, single or double reduction. And the chain driven E had its special model name of ER.

    I looked over that diagram and found out my 1988 R had differences to it. I can't tell the reasons for 100% sure but can state it didn't work for me.
  23. Vladislav
    It looks like a rare animal. Wonder what is the tandems setup? I can see a chain between the rear wheels/ Did Mack ever used them in tandem E-models? I saw a picture with a transfer case and two prop shafts in a Mack book. Also I saw in person the driveline to the rears of the style B's and later Mack had. But this design seems as another story. BTW whhat does EQ 5D mean& Factory diesel?
  24. Vladislav
    Looks like the things are doing cool. Would like to see the cowl patch pieces. Observing your progress I even started crawling over my military Mack cab with a measure band and a caliper to figure out which parts I would be able to order fabricated. The cab has many things in common with your one being basically a L-model cab. But since it's an open one the rocker channels were made different. Consit of lower and upper panels. Your cab has the upper ones only.

    Once again, thank you for sharing, very interesting. As long as I know Mack put diesel engines in trucks before having its own diesel. The first series production Mack diesel was ED-519 Lanova introduced in November 1938. And those diesels installed before that date (and possibly later either) were Buda Lanova.
