Vladislav Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 It's early series NM-1 or NM-2 produced in 1940. A rare beast, only 87 examples of NM-1 and 107 of NM-2 were built. Sure re-equipped with that dump body. If my memory serves well that picture was posted earlier by Al (57BCR) and he stated it was Celli construction company truck. I might be wrong on that though.

Jamaican Bulldog Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 It looks similar to the L series. What made it a 'N' series versus being a 'L"? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55628-mack-nm/#findComment-415951 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Horse Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 One other thing-VERY safety conscious fleet-it even has a right hand mirror-all 3" of it! As does the International in back of it. Safety pioneers! As for turn signals, that is what your left hand was for😎. It always amazes me that such a simple device as another mirror took so long to be accepted. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55628-mack-nm/#findComment-415980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
