Vladislav Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Did you brows the Bart's book recently?Forgot to let you know.My Dutch friend has very sharp memory along that book.He pointed me out to one interesting fact.If you check out the page 138, at the top right you can see the picture of Mack NR with a crane in Canada dated 1988.That's exactly the one of those 3 trucks wich Mike Yarnall showed out as "3 for Vlad" a couple weeks back.NR1 is a cool looking truck. Along my research I came to conclusion NR's had the same front axle as pre-war B-series Macks.Probably many other components off there either. That very early one with the old style cab doesn't have anything in common with L-model. At least from its look.I've never heard about any one survived. 2 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43327-one-for-vladd/#findComment-317953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 I looked at Barts book but never put the crane carrier with the ones or sale in Canada. The one in the photo is one of the first built for U.S. and British Commonwealth Army evaluations, according to the information on the back of the photo. With the B type cab, F series hood, radiator and fenders. It looks mostly made of recent production parts.I'm sure than like today the trucks use as many off the shelf parts to save money and make field repairs simpler. Paul.

Vladislav Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Your point about using as much parts off a shelf makes sence.
