  1. Vlad,

    Those NR went lomg into the '60 here some converted to B75 with new cabin extracted their chassis ans many new parts.

    NR came by british and maybe Australian in WW2,

    the NRs were the workhorse of the new Israel after the war.

    there was official importer for Mack since 1933, i met one of his grandsons so parts supply was ok.

    There were more Mil trucks such as Ford Canada etc, but as heavy truck the NR was the winner

  2. Hi Vlad,

    This NR had been 'adopted' by Israel people from the British forces before 1948.

    there are many stories about how and what kind of beverages had been used to close down a 'deal' when 2 NR drove out from Bits camp in a dark nigh, and hidden under rocks.

    British forces sent airplanes and troops but could not find the trucks...

    The trucks "civilized" later and worked for some years,

    we might have more pictures in the future i also looking forward to it, so far i don't have VIN,

    i will call one of the guys who drove them and ask for for info he got details.

    for some reason lot's of Mack drivers remembers a lot, plate numbers, engine types etc..
