h67st Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Found this on Truck Paper. It says it's the last LTL built, but I notice the vin tag says LTSW.

j hancock Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 LTSW is a legit Mack model. So, this may be the last "LTSW" but the LTLSW and LTHSW continued until 1956.

j hancock Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 The truck is an LTSW. That is its model identification. If I was selling it, the Mack would be listed as an LTSW. Why not give the most accurate description possible? When introduced in 1950, the LTLSW utilized a tremendous amount of aluminum in its construction and these were features not used in the LTSW. The LTLSW weighed about 2,000 lbs less than an LTSW. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

russell t Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 The off highway KW in the Joseph collection was mine once until in a weak moment I let a "friend" have it and now has ended up in the NH. The kw looks much more impressive with the rear wheels on, but it is then 10'6" wide.

sodly Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 So what's the story behind Joseph Equipment? He always has cool stuff for sale with no prices. Then when you call or email asking for more info and photos you get no response (even when he says he will send the stuff). I'm stumped. If he is a collector, does anyone have photos of his collection? Would love to see his "keepers" if this is the stuff he's letting go of.

polracer01 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 He has a freedom edition superliner with 800 original miles also... I have tried dealing with him on other trucks... hard to make a fair deal with someone who doesn't want to deal... his truck lot is a graveyard for most trucks until he gets a price he is happy with if not they just sit there and rot away Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51579-last-ltl/#findComment-385110 Share on other sites More sharing options...
