farmer52 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Saw this on eBay...a Mack MR panel truck. Interesting. Never heard of nor saw one. Is this correct that Mack made a model MR? Are any still in existance? Looks like it is on an ED chassis.http://www.ebay.com/itm/1941-Mack-MR-Milk-Truck-Factory-Photo-Schlicher-Printer-u8785-TS8NRN-/350864999417?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51b12f03f9 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Maney Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 It is an an ED chassis. They made several versions of the stepvan / delivery van type truck. They made 290 from 1940-1942.I am not sure of many still out there. Maybe someone else can offer up some info. Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

39 Baby Mack Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'm pretty sure that the "MR" designation stood for Mack Retailer.Ron 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogboy Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 On page 102 of John Montville's 1973 book, "Mack", there is a photo of a 1940 Mack Retailer that was delivered to the John Wanamaker department store in New York City. In the brief description of the "MR" there is no mention of the chassis used only that it "had a specially designed chassis with forward control and gear shift lever mounted on the steering column". The body was built by Mack. "Mack" is 41 years old but there is a lot of historical information in this book. bulldogboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
