Woo-hoo!

Thank you Paul!

It took me a bit of head scratching to figure out what model of the truck is displayed. Definitely it's NO 6x6.

Of original components there could be recognized chassis on 12.00-24 Budd wheels, front bumper with heavy winch, front fenders, hood and grill.

Any ideas on where the picture was taken?

It was taken in Toronto Canada 1956 or so.

I thought N model was the one with the ford body on it I know a guy that has one...bob

You're correct Bob. The truck pictured is a model NO. The Mack N model indeed had the Budd cab that was also used by Ford and others.

The truck pictured might be a Memphis Equipment Company conversion. Years ago, they bought many NOs and refurbed them with enclosed cabs.

Boy I sure wish I was old enough with deep pockets back in the 50" The NO and Diamond t's and let us not skip the Kenworth wreckers  and the big Ward Lafrance wrecker That I would have loved to buy All the heavy towing companies were buying surplus ,House movers used Diamond T tank transporter, and  some of those old wreckers worked up into the eighties if not later.

Towing company I bought my B from had a big Autocar wrecker that was sold many years ago.  It showed up on Facebook, someone posted a pictures of this beast sitting in a lot looking well worn.  It is currently in Canada somewhere.  I asked owner about it, it was sold because he couldn't keep a driver that knew how to drive something that old(three sticks, no power steering, etc).
