Jamaican Bulldog Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Every now and then I see a pic of a Mack from the 30s or 40s referred to as a DM model . Did Mack use the DM model name in that time period before the of set cab model that came out in the 60s, or are some trucks being mislabeled? The trucks I have seen labeled as as DMs looked like the BM models or E models from the 30s or 40s era and do not have off set cabs. From what I know of Macks, they do not reuse series designation if the cab design is completely different, so would be surprised if the DM designation in the 60s was used before. The off set cab Mack DM that came out in the 60s is my favorite Mack and the truck that got me liking Macks in the first place.

41chevy Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) MACK made a D model Verti lift from 1955 to 1958 1930's MACK CH /CJ series There is a listing in the Gab auction for a 30's DF and a 30's DM but IMO the ads in error, I they are a BF and a BM series.

ekennedy21 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I concur with Paul, There were no DM's and DF's from the 30's and those trucks are in fact from the original B_ series.

Patdbossct Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 More than likely its someones' mislabeling of a picture of a BM model. A lot of auctioneers have done it.

They are going by the vin on the chassis: SERIAL #DM1D1368D which they probably didn't get all the mung out of the numbers on both the hard cab BM and the C cab BF 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/54164-was-the-mack-dm-model-designation-used-in-the-30s-40s/#findComment-405275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
