41chevy Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Wonder if it was sold as a KDA and never shipped.

Vladislav Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I doubt Macungie printed Venecuella tags and put them onto the doors before shipping out the kits. Wonder what was meant as EE6 engine? Econodyne instead of EM6 Maxidyne?

Wonder what was meant as EE6 engine? Econodyne instead of EM6 Maxidyne? Actually the tags would be included in the kit. Mack in Caracas Venezuela. The units were shipped there as a full knock down assemblies, so the Caracas factory would have assembled chassis, drive train and added cab assembly. Different from the normal KDA's because of import tariffs they would be shipped as separate sub assemblies.. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51400-dont-usually-see-this-kind-of-vin-tag/#findComment-382684 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Obviously pretty unusual to take a boat ride back here. I can't help but wonder what a DEA dog would find if it sniffed around. 1 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

j hancock Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 I had a conversation with the owner this afternoon and the truck was built in Venezuela in 1983. Shortly thereafter, this truck and a couple of other trucks were purchased by a broker in OH because their sales fell through in Venezuela. The truck is a spare in his fleet now but a little South American Mack resides in Massachusetts. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
