Rob Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Don't think that is the same company. The Mack brothers were out of the company by the 1930's.

PaulMACK Trucks(Great Britain)Ltd,Barking Essex. The company was in business from 1952 to 1964,built freight lorries,mobile cranes and special vehicles. Apparently Mack GB had no connection with the North American Mack company.Mack refurbished and modified ex- British WarDepartment military Mack NM 6x6 Lorries into Snowploughs,Heavy Recovery Vehicles,possibly Showmans Diesel Road Locomotives,etc. Some,if not all of them,were fitted with Leyland SuperBeaver/Super Hippo normal control cabs and a variety of AEC,Hercules,Leyland and Perkins diesel engines were fitted.But I think most of them were fitted with AEC 11.3,AV690,2AV690 and AV691 Diesel Engines and,in some cases,they were also fitted with AEC gearboxes. 3 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19415-why-a-gorilla-in-britan/#findComment-79757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie in Peru Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 The conventional truck looks to have a Bedford cab whilst the cab over is definitely a /50's vintage Commer with modified windshields.
