rybersalvage Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Got this truck in at the shop the a few weeks ago and are having an "discussion" about the year and model.The only number we can find so far is the engine number that starts with EN. I will look for more numbers once we get the fenders off of it.The windshield tilts out, but is the same size as a A20, the top of the cowl is shaped to a point in the middle versus straight like an A20. The fenders are narrow at the rear, self supporting, but have holes for running boards.Thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21897-need-help-to-id-this-truck/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 1939 to 1942 Mack DE 1 1/2 ton. Powered by a Continental EN11 210 cubic inch 6 cylinder. It's missing a lot of trim on the nose and has the military pattern bumper assembly.

umodelnut Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Man that is one cool truck!!!! But yes I agree it looks like an E model Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21897-need-help-to-id-this-truck/#findComment-92631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Man that is one cool truck!!!! But yes I agree it looks like an E modelThe DE was the light weight version of the EE, about 900 made over 4 years and most were U.S. Navy General Service units. The main difference aside from the 1 ton less capacity, was longer front fenders and trim, the power pack and 20" wheels.

daveigou Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I think Paul nailed it. They look nearly alike, but the DE is really rare, I think Roy Moxley has one, but I can't come up with a picture. Here are two pictures I could find, but I think one is an E, and the red one is a DE.Dave Quote See my Flickr photostream page http://www.flickr.com/photos/96692978@N05/ Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21897-need-help-to-id-this-truck/#findComment-92635 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rybersalvage Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thanks guys, this will be a great project. It started to be restored about 25 years ago but never finished, hope the running boards and trim is laying around somewhere at his shop Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21897-need-help-to-id-this-truck/#findComment-92676 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are two pictures I could find, but I think one is an E, and the red one is a DE.DaveThe red one has single rear wheels, it's a 3/4 ton ED. 1938 to 1944 , 2686 made. There is one for sale on Craigs list in eastern Conneticutt now for $7000..........confusing letter call outs ain't it? ED is less capacity than a DE which is less capacity than an E................... :twothumbsup: 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/21897-need-help-to-id-this-truck/#findComment-92706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
