Postcardguy Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I've been a long time collector of old photos and postcards of trucks. I have an old photo of a Brooklyn NY Moving Truck. It's dated 1913 and I suspect the manufacturer to be Mack. Can anyone help confirm? Any help is appreciated..

terry Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I believe some old international’s had the front end, I think they were part of Mack at one time.

steve s. Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Terry, the pictured truck is not an International, although they did build trucks with the radiator behind the engine. Mack and International were never partners. Mack, Hewitt, and Saurer formed the International Motor Company. This was an entirely different entity than International Harvester Company, with no relation at all. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74515-can-anyone-help-id-this-1913-truck-as-a-mack/#findComment-557854 Share on other sites More sharing options...
66dc75 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 If it was a Mack it would look like this. That other truck really looks like it has an IH hood. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74515-can-anyone-help-id-this-1913-truck-as-a-mack/#findComment-557861 Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarnall Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 I bet it is an International Harvester. Kelly Springfield and Renault also used similar style hoods back in the teens. Maybe if you search up photos you can find something that matches.

Popular Post steve s. Posted Saturday at 03:47 PM Popular Post Share Posted Saturday at 03:47 PM The truck is a Grabowsky. Max Grabowsky was one of the pioneers of truck building. His truck was later called the Rapid, a very good truck that sold well. Eventually his company was absorbed by William Durant and operations were consolidated with the Reliance truck company, with the new product named the General Motors Truck, or GMC. 3 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74515-can-anyone-help-id-this-1913-truck-as-a-mack/#findComment-564391 Share on other sites More sharing options...
