Popular Post CaptainCrutch Posted March 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Was just looking for pictures of old Mack military trucks for someone I know, and I stumbled upon an post about some yard trucks out in Taos Mesa, New Mexico, and glance at that rare little W model with that interesting looking sleeper. Figured I’d share!

mowerman Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) That thing looks like it’s in good shape anything in New Mexico is going to be really rust free... bob Edited March 19, 2021 by mowerman Missed word Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66283-w-71-in-new-mexico/#findComment-471062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleclutchinweasel Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 You know, I don't think I ever saw one of those in person before. Says here they only made 215 W71's from 1953-1958. I'd say that makes it pretty rare. Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."
