Glenn A Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hi...I'm new here and hope to stay because that would mean I bought my first Mack...YAY ! I found this flatbed dump Mack who's registration says its a 1953. It looks like a B Mack except it has a 1 piece windshield and the old style flaired fenders in front. (like an E but with one piece windshield?) I do not know what the "body number" is or where to find it? I hear its on the end of the frame? Should there be a tag on the door? The registration seems to use the engine number as the serial number...starts with en331 followed by 4 more digits. Can I assume thats the 331 engine? There's also a number-letter code UTD 4026....utility dump maybe? I will be visiting the truck next week and need to know where to find body, frame, engine etc numbers to see exactly what it is. It has a 16'-6" flatbed that dups...the last 4-5 feet of the flatbed slant down a bit at an angle. It has a single dually in the rear. 29,120lbs with seats is the gvw on the registration. Last registered in 2003 or so.......So...what do we have here and how can I find out?...Thanks, Glenn (owner of two little 1950's chevy pickups so far.....)

umodelnut Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Could be an A model maybe? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32686-what-do-i-have-here-and-how-do-i-know/#findComment-204693 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdogtrucker Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I'd say A or E for sure. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32686-what-do-i-have-here-and-how-do-i-know/#findComment-204695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 if it's a '53 it's almost gotta be an A model. If the ID tag is missing from the cab,look on the right side of the frame up near the rear spring hanger.hopefully you can still find the # there if the frame hasn't been chopped. Post pics ASAP. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32686-what-do-i-have-here-and-how-do-i-know/#findComment-204716 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn A Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Ok..I'll get pics next visit. I see there's A-20's, A-30's, A-50's etc....what does the number designate? Would that be found on the frame information? Also...I've seen reference to a 330 and to a 331 engine.....what would tell me which one this has? Thanks again...Glenn Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32686-what-do-i-have-here-and-how-do-i-know/#findComment-204750 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 if your registration says EN331,chances are pretty good unless it's been changed you have the EN331 Magnadyne flathead engine.Your frame # should read something like A30P1234 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32686-what-do-i-have-here-and-how-do-i-know/#findComment-204757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
