Mack ED Pickup Truck

[David Smith]

I saw an ED pickup about 35 years ago. It had an L-Model cab. Has anyone ever seen one?

No, I have never seen one, but I’d like to have it

the ED pickup is many times confused with the Mack JR. I had a ' 49  EE Mack dump which is one size up from ED in the E series. also a 49 EF flatbed. ED wasn't limited to '36/38 like the JR was. as the B-20 was in relationship to the B=61; ED was smaller version of the larger E series.

The Mack Jr was built by REO and had a REO cab. This cab is squarer than the E model Mack and also has a split windshield... Quite possibly you saw a Mack Jr.???????

The first picture is an A- 20 Mack pickup. The A series and the E series were very similar in design. The second is a Mack JR under restoration. Both Pictures were taken at Tony Champions facility in Rockhampton, QLD, AU on our tour in 2015.

That might be an E model crew cab behind to nose of the A20 and there are 2 L cabs behind the back of the A20.

I've see n a few Mack Jr's(REO built) at shows, but they are pretty rare and were not big sellers when new. The E series did have various lighter spec versions in a pickup configuration. The cabs were much smaller than the L series and had a one piece push out windshield. The cabs were very close in size and look to the A series that was produced prior to the B series in 1953.

I think it is very unlikely that Mack ever installed an L model cab on an ED truck. For one thing the L cab is much too wide for an E series truck. The earliest E models had wooden framed cabs. Maybe what you saw was someone's replacement for a cab with rotten wood.
