Vladislav Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Jim, I thought Mack didn't produce commercial trucks from 1942 to 44. Was that one ordered by War department? Or any other way?

j hancock Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 A civilian business could get trucks and equipment if approved for ongoing war support. For example, a contract for the transportation of war material or equipment for building runways would be proof of such need. It was highly regulated by federal agencies. A business may claim essential need of four trucks and the government may came back and grant permission for four but they could also come back and give permission for just two trucks.

Many thanks for the facts. Really interesting to learn. It's difficult to imagine nowadays the things went such ways in the past. And the most everything seem as through pink glasses when were far away and long days ago. A man use to feel he is the only parson having troubles.

Chuck P Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Here is a shot I took when I went to their open house last Fall. What an awesome display of trucks and machinery.

VaPatentman Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 My 42-DE was ordered in 1942 and delivered in 1943 only after the 1-st owner completed documentation of need with the War Department. The 2-nd owner had all the original documentation, including the War Department application and approval, Bill of Sale and Title. He didn’t offer up these items until we were loading it onto the transport for it’s new home in Virginia. He said, "since I now know it is going to good home I want you to have all this original information.
