finally i think these old macks produced custom for iran, because of : uniqe roof, door style, glass, and engine hood that we dont see in other models !
According to Mack owner maybe "LM2DM" is correct.
so what the means of LM2DM ?

Thanks for the additional pictures. I really like to see old trucks working. Here in the US some upgrade truck components and suspension but most find it cost prohibitive to keep working trucks that old. Also the safety laws make an old truck that works a "Police Magnet" I bought a 1968 F model from a guy for that reason. He used it on the Farm and although it was safe it looked to old and the truck cops always pulled him over so after getting stopped a few times in one one week he decided to stop running it.
you are welcome. we really like too. sometimes we make a trip to countryside just for see these old trucks..
Unfortunately main reason of old trucks working in my country is expensive vehicle price! for example in iran a modern truck price is almost 80,000$ !
also in iran some old american trucks parts have been rare and owners have to upgrade. of course some owner always work by trucks and they desire to upgrade their trucks!
thanx.

Welcome to the group. They look like parts from all three models with later model fuel tanks and such. Look like Iran built cabs. Could they have been rebuild by the MACK Trucks Iranian Factory branch "Iran-Kaveh" before 1979? Paul
thanx my friend.
It really so astonishing that we see lots of this Mack models in iran, but no documents and resource is available about these.
some owners may upgrade their truck parts to newer models. such as gearbox, engine, differential, and fuel tanks.
but cabin and chassis doesn't change .
for example, this is a 1950 mack with original color:

yes iranian people love mack trucks. because of this truck's service to the roads , our older drivers known it "Golden engine" !
in some cities such as Tabriz you will see a lot of this model mack near modern Mercedes benz actors or volvo fh12 !

hello to all.
i am saeid, from iran. there are some mack trucks in iran(known as War mack) like NR and EXBX . You can see b85 badge on them. But at that time Mack b85 was not produced in America!!
I did a lot of searching and could not find its model.. I heard from a driver that their model is "LM2DM," but I'm not sure it is correct.
We know that during World War II american trucks used iran roads to transfer cargo to russia.
But I do not know that these macks are same trucks or re-entered.
Please help me to find model.
thanks.

Thank you dear friend for full answer and useful comments.
I think that you've solved some problems. your talk about B85 , PKD, and others are so near to truth.
I've already had some such thought in my mind but I did not dare to say it. But i am so glad to hear these from you.
First of all I have a question. do you know NR Mack returned to America or stay in Iran?
By displaying these photos we can get new results !
an old 40' mack (with original hood and gril) that we have not seen these models recent years ! so why not today??
another old photo that shows a old mack with a different hood side with NR and Iranian Mack:
it is amazing !
today, and a mack interior in iran ! green, like a NR interior.. and dashbord's bulge look like B model :
another and different :
an old pictures from 1942 :
star! it seems L Mack was a military truck too!
star! perhaps it is military too. but it seems roof is unusual and painted in other color ! perhaps it was a NR and roof was welded !
nice! but in old photos from 1940' and pehaps 50' those unknown cabin are fewer !
according to your talk and my though, and mack's corage in iran's roads, i think after ww2 in iran small workshop created for convert NR cabin to public cabin for cilivian and people use. also simpleness body, roof, window, columns, and hood side are a proof for small workshop entity for cabin conversation.
