Benji Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 In 1927, Dunn Coal & Oil, of Federal Street in Chicago, ordered a fleet of Mack AC Bulldog dumptrucks, of which this vehicle is the only entirely original survivor. Still fitted in its original, but faded red livery, with Dunn Coal & Oil lettering on cab and body, this AC includes its original winter cab, good pneumatic rubber, very solid sheet metal, and fine running condition.Featured with its fleet in a national Mack advertisement in 1927, our AC is a pure survivor and absolutely appropriate for historic preservation. In a world where fresh paint seems to rule, the next owner of this vehicle will have a choice: rub out the years with compound and polish for a brilliant all-original survivor; or undertake a full cosmetic re-do. THIS TRUCK IS FOR SALE1927 Mack AC Bulldog Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25835-1927-bulldog-dunn-co-coal-truck/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTFormula Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 It would be a crime to restore such a beautiful survivor. It can only be original once. To keep the truck in this condition for 85 years takes special care and love. By doing a restoration you remove all of its history and mojo. Just think of all the people who have touched and drove this thing in almost a century. Very cool AC and I commend you for leaving it as is. 2 Quote ~ JT Burkard ~ AKA Sweaty Mackwww.jtresto.com www.wickedreputation.netwww.jonathanthomasmotorcars.com Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25835-1927-bulldog-dunn-co-coal-truck/#findComment-125367 Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarnall Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 The owner of this truck called me on Friday about this truck. Unfortunately is it out of my price range. I would love to have it. He only lives a few miles from me and invited me to come and see his collection. He owns the B67 Allied moving tractor trailer that has been posted on here in the past. He bought that from the place I got my A model and L model fire trucks. He tells me he has several AB's and AC's. I'll take pictures and report back.Mike 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25835-1927-bulldog-dunn-co-coal-truck/#findComment-126531 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Cerney Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Does anyone know where you can find the history on Dunn Coal & Oil? My boss just recently acquired a 1926 AB Dunn Coal Truck from Ben Burch, and we are trying to locate some history behind the Dunn Coal & Oil company.
