Has me wondering now. The truck has not been on the road since around 1999 or 2000 is what the old man said. And when I did try getting the title transfered before I realized there was any problems the lady said that since the truck had not been licensed in so long the previous title was no longer in the system. -
So I checked the frame and it matches the tag inside the cab. So now I am wondering how the title has completely the wrong numbering for this truck. I would guess that all the trucks made this year would have numbers close to this one. Kinda thinking I have the wrong title.

That is what I was guessing but it doesn't match the title. I bought the truck from an old man that ran this truck for over 20 years.

I bought a 1951 Mack LJSW back in Feburary. I got real busy with work and didn't find the time to transfer the title right away. The title is from the '70s and is difficult to read. So I need to find the VIN # on the truck to verify what the title says. The chassis number on the plate on the passanger seat frame says LJ2D4217D.

I found the tag on the front diff of the rear tandems. The serial # is CR32-273-44 The Assm # is 11KHA524CPZ I am interested in what all that stands for. I did see below all that the Ratio was listed as 7.32 Any info would be great. Thanks.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. Olivetroad I am out here in Washington State.... I almost never go on vacation... and currently you don't need any keys to drive this old Mack.

It has not been on the road since around 2000. I do need to go through and fix all the air leaks. And the rear brake linings are about gone. The floorboards are about rusted out completely. The tires somehow still hold some air. I am getting very excited to start in on fixing everything on the truck to get it road worthy again. I also picked up a 1958 Peterbuilt the same day from the old man. He wanted to sell them to someone to fix up and not scrap out. Well he sold them to the right guy.

So I just found this forum yesterday after getting home with my new project. It is a 1951 Mack LJ. I don't have all the specs and details yet about this truck but I do know it had a 220 Cummins installed at some point in its life. And it has the 5 and two twin stick setup with an extra 3 speed brownie after all that. I do see myself reading a ton on here in the future and asking many questions. I will add some pictures when I figure out how.
