I got in a bit of an arguement with or shop mechanic about me being able to drive my 1949 EQX with a trailer without having to have a combination CDL (Washington State). I have talked to a state trooper, and city cop and researched the topic on the DOL's website. As far as I can tell, as long as the GCVW is under 26K and I am not hauling commercially, I can drive without a CDL at all. All I am doing is using the truck to enjoy and to haul my personal vehicles and equipment to local shows etc... I have a vintage 1949 permanent registration for it also. Anyone else have any good info/ expirence with this? Thanks!

Found it! Its actually behind the oil filler cap. I was towing it with a '97 Ford F250 crew cab with the power stroke. 18k rated trailer. Not a trip I want to repeat.

Where is the engine serial number located of the EN354 flathead engine? I cant find one anywhere. I need to verify it for the DMV.

The chassis number is EQX1D5822. engine is EN354, transmission is a 5 speed with a hi-lo.

Hi, I am in need of a windshield frame for a 1949 EQ. surface rust OK but no rot. Thanks!

Not yet.... One day I will though. I cant break away to make it to the local stuff as often as I'd like.

Hi, I am from Cle Elum, Washington. The truck is from Lynden was owned by Bruce Berg. Before him it was owned by a construction firm and had a crane on the back of it. I went to the ATHS convention in Yakima and met a guy named Tony who told me about a guy named Alfie who had the truck and wanted to sell it. I have a bunch of the old Power Wagons from the 40's and 50's and always wanted a vintage hauler to start bringing them to the local shows and trailrides. Everybody keeps telling me to convert it to a diesel, but I think the amount I am going to use it (occasionally) I might just as well keep the original gas engine in it. I also need to come up with a vintage lowboy trailer now obviously! Its a blast to drive! just need to keep a box of ear plugs handy.

Yep, it runs and drives. I drove it into town yesterday and put fuel in it and took it to the tire shop. The tire guys told me I should go with a set of Budd 22.5 wheels and get some low profile tires. They wind up being about the same overall diameter as the 1100-20's I guess.

Does EN354A28147 sound like a engine serial number?

I just bought this truck, and its my first Mack. Trying to figure out what I have. EQX 1D. It has a flathead engine (engine ID somewhere?), and 2 stick transmission. 5 speed and a split. Single speed rear axle. I am also looking for a windshield frame. The one installed is pretty rusty.
