The body is a Stock Express Delivery Bed. The model of the truck is ( ED ) or Express Delivery. Total production of the Model ED line from 1938-1944 was only 2,686. So it is a rare bird in one sense, Diamond T and I believe REO had similar Express Delivery Beds, Rated from 1 TON to 1 1/2 TONS for a pickup.
My truck has a pretty cool story and I am lucky to have it, in this condition not a lot of enthusiasts would want to tackle it , but it is up my alley. trying to source out engine builders and parts etc. so if anyone wants to DM me please do, I am jumping HEAD FIRST this weekend to start on my "1941 MACK PRESERVATION MISSION". I do have a small site up to log my progress and I will update here as well. Thanks again
What is the best place to post pictures of my Restoration process ??

Yes, a factory bed is on the truck. I am planning on reproducing the ED Bed, it is already in the works. Starting to disassemble today. This truck is a mini tank, made of thick metal,....Love it. So fender by fender here I go. Anyone else out there with early pickups send me some pictures please. My email is richie@oldmacktruck.com ...thanks
Below picture is the Deluxe front bumper that was on the truck since new.

Thanks Mike and others for the kind words...I am a metal man and paint guy, I will restore my ED (BONE STOCK) and I will drive it too. The cab is not savable but I have another cab that needs much less. I am working daily on the contacts and designing a plan for the restoration that will start in October. I will keep you guys updated.

Just joined a few minutes ago and today is basically day 1 for owning a Mack. I have been around old trucks for most of my life and love the character that they all have. I am turning 50 in April and cannot wait to get this truck on the road. A large tree fell on this truck in the early 70's in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Hoping to learn and help down the road with other members trucks etc.
On a mission for sure this old Mack had been waiting since the 70's for the restoration. Looking for parts connections used and new to help me leap forward in the start of this Preservation in October.
