Don't think that is the same company. The Mack brothers were out of the company by the 1930's.

Tom, you forgot the contrasting color coordinating and accessorizing diaper now sported by the gorilla. I got tired of cleaning up gorilla shit in the shop; just doesn't look professional.

A friend send me this info... You' re all correct. Paul

MACK 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 War

Department 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 Super

Beaver/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.

Most excellent research and dissertation 41chevy!! randyp :clap:
