Coenut Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 There's a guy in town that has an 1950 LJSXW truck. The vin plate is gone and he cannot locate the vin anywhere on the truck. Where did Mack stamp the vin on these trucks? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49198-vin-location-1950-ljsxw/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I don't know when things changed but the VIN stamping on E models, A models and many L models were done on the rear frame rail left side. This is problematic due to bodies being put on and cut off, corrosion, etc. Soon the numbers are obliterated and can't be found. Here is a nice rear stamping on an LJT.

fxfymn Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 My 52 75A is on the front right frame horn, but it could be different for fire apparatus. Jim knows these trucks far better than I do.

How did you make out with that one? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49198-vin-location-1950-ljsxw/#findComment-365113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coenut Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Yes it is him. The cab is just about completely shot. Missing lots of parts as well. I'm still kicking it over though for a parts and title truck. I did buy a b 42 model that was less than a mile from my house. Never even knew it was there.
