Popular Post Jonas Posted June 25, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2013 I just bought this truck, and its my first Mack. Trying to figure out what I have. EQX 1D. It has a flathead engine (engine ID somewhere?), and 2 stick transmission. 5 speed and a split. Single speed rear axle. I am also looking for a windshield frame. The one installed is pretty rusty. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31705-what-engine-do-i-have-1949-eqx/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 That is cool as hell,love the sleeper.Looks like it'sbeen in hiding for awhile.Without pics,I would guess you have a EN-354 engine.

terry Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Looks to be in very good condition, have it running yet? terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31705-what-engine-do-i-have-1949-eqx/#findComment-190883 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yep, it runs and drives. I drove it into town yesterday and put fuel in it and took it to the tire shop. The tire guys told me I should go with a set of Budd 22.5 wheels and get some low profile tires. They wind up being about the same overall diameter as the 1100-20's I guess.

Superdog Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I don't think I'd go lo-profile,but switching to 22.5's is a good idea if you are going to drive it much.If you don't use those front wheel covers when you swith rims,I'd be interested in buying them from you.

slpwlker Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Glad to see more West Coasters getting into Macks. Rolled thru Cle Elum Yesterday sitting over in North Bend. Probably roll back thru.

Jonas Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Hi, I am from Cle Elum, Washington. The truck is from Lynden was owned by Bruce Berg. Before him it was owned by a construction firm and had a crane on the back of it. I went to the ATHS convention in Yakima and met a guy named Tony who told me about a guy named Alfie who had the truck and wanted to sell it. I have a bunch of the old Power Wagons from the 40's and 50's and always wanted a vintage hauler to start bringing them to the local shows and trailrides. Everybody keeps telling me to convert it to a diesel, but I think the amount I am going to use it (occasionally) I might just as well keep the original gas engine in it. I also need to come up with a vintage lowboy trailer now obviously!Its a blast to drive! just need to keep a box of ear plugs handy.

Jonas Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Not yet.... One day I will though. I cant break away to make it to the local stuff as often as I'd like.

yarnall Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 That is a really neat old truck. Definitely something I would be proud to own. Congratulations. Tubeless is a good idea. I don't know why they would recommend low-pros though. I'd keep the gasser in it.

Andy Wright Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Way to go, Jonas. Ignore my message to you asking about its history with you. That's all ahead of you. LOL. I agree with Mike and yarnall about the low profiles. Avoid them but 22.5s will work nicely.With the engine number and also chassis number (which I need too please!) you'll be able to send off to the Mack Museum for build sheets and the like (be sure to give them a small donation for their trouble). It would be cool if her engine's the original.Beaut machine, you've done well and it sounds like she's found a great home. Quote Whatever rubs your buddah.

Jonas Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Where is the engine serial number located of the EN354 flathead engine? I cant find one anywhere. I need to verify it for the DMV.

j hancock Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Memory says it should be on the drivers side of the block near the block to head joint (head gasket area) just above the generator.Should be a machined pad where the numbers are stamped.Jim Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

JTFormula Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Very cool truck! What were you towing it with? Looks like you barely squeezed it on the trailer.

Jonas Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Found it! Its actually behind the oil filler cap.I was towing it with a '97 Ford F250 crew cab with the power stroke. 18k rated trailer. Not a trip I want to repeat. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31705-what-engine-do-i-have-1949-eqx/#findComment-191255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
