j hancock Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I would lean toward it being an LJ. Looks to have a Cummins badge on the hood side panel.

mowerman Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 LJ is one of my favorites ive seen photos of LF.......are you saying the differance is LF is usually cummins???? dont quite get it ....i was thinking the extened hood was the differance to allow for a bigger engine...bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50879-sleeper-cab-on-lj-lf/#findComment-378501 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Edelist Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Bob, i said i'm not sure about the engine, if Cummins or Mack, i have to ask this truck Driver. it might be 1951 Model, the picture taken after 1958. is LJ have longer hood than LF? What are the exterior differences between LJ and LF? Thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50879-sleeper-cab-on-lj-lf/#findComment-378505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 The sheet metal is the same between the two models if both are soft nosed. An LJ hard nose is a little different. The truck in the picture looks like might be running 24" rubber which makes me lean toward it being an LJT. I believe there was more chance to find a Cummins under the hood of an LJ than an LF so seeing what looks like a Cummins emblem on the hood side was another clue. As always, your mileage may vary...

41chevy Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) I would lean toward it being an LJ. Looks to have a Cummins badge on the hood side panel. Here is the image cleaned up. It is a side ways V and a circle the shadow is paint. I blew it up but the site won't let me post it.

Vladislav Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Many Thanks, about the i will ask the driver, now he is the CEO of Burstein company at the age of 82. It's the first time i see sleeper cab in Israel for early Mack. The engine can be Lanova or or Mack 510 or 672.. Guy, Mack END510 and END672 were also Lanova's. They had Lanova pre-chamber design. Just different engines than ED installed in NR models. A kind of next generation. Cool pics of those L's. Thanks for posting. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50879-sleeper-cab-on-lj-lf/#findComment-378829 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyT Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Jeff M I used to do ornamental iron railings by hand, and can attest to how much work went into that grille guard! It is a work of art! Ever see the factory grille guard on a 40s Brockway? Must add 150 lbs to the truck! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50879-sleeper-cab-on-lj-lf/#findComment-381143 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamaican Bulldog Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I believe the LJ were the ones equipped with diesel engines and the LF were the gas powered units. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50879-sleeper-cab-on-lj-lf/#findComment-381280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
