tkobes43 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Also has mack on the engine cover, and the bulldog... Maybe it was produced for a short time, or someone combined a whole bunch of parts and thats the finished product?? Looks like it has some sort of boom on the end of it..Tom Quote "Nothing Breaks Wind Like A Bulldog" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29355-anyone-know-about-this/#findComment-156953 Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Gerosa had one with the original cab. It is a M40. Prime mover. This one appears to be cabbed with R model bits narrowed to a single place cab and R style headlights added.

Phase 1 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 There is another unusual Mack (?) in the current Wheels Of Time magazine in the readers letters section. It is listed as a 1948 and has an L model cab and twin front axles. I don't know if Mack built it or if someone modified a Mack or just put it together with the Mack sheet metal.
