Hey dperks, you might be able to get a cheap one from TBone!

Hi all

The registry is now up to 61 entries after I finally got off my arse and updated the thing. Thanks to everyone who has kept posting their truck's details. In the past week I've discovered the existence of another two Es down here in Australia. This is on top of the four incomplete derelict ones (one damaged radiator shell between them) I almost bought earlier this year. I will find 'my' one eventually ... it just doesn't know it's mine yet!

Anyway, some comments for the guys who I've just added to the registry (have used italics as the quote tags weren't working for some reason).

“Hi again Andy, my 1945 Mack number is EHX 1D 8297. I hope this helps, so is this the 56th E registered? Thank You, Erik `K”

Erik, yes, she is the 56th registered and the first EHX1D to be listed.

“How do I submit my information? What is your direct e-mail? My EE is a farm truck on a 175 wheel base. The VIN is EE 1D 2686. It is a 4 speed with a 2 speed axle. Dennis Stoeser Newman Lake, Washington USA”

Dennis, your EE is the youngest EE on the registry. I'd hazard a guess at 1942 but the 1949 EFU1S below kinda throws that guess out the window.

“Andy,

I also have an "E" series Mack. It is a "EFU" serial number "1S2671" 1949 model, with only 23,373 miles. I have had the truck for

about 15 years. I am missing the R.H. access panel on the hood and am unable to find one. I keep running into brick walls trying to find it.

There must be limited numbers available of this series. This truck was originally purchased by the University of California and still has

the decals on the doors. If anyone out there can assist me in obtaining the R.H. access panel, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

MACK EFU

Michael of Southeast Missouri”

Michael, your EFU is the first on the registry and must be one of the lowest mileage (non-fire truck) Es out there. Have you investigated whether she's the same cab as the EHUs etc?

“Can you put this one down, 1939 EHU 1 D 1008

Don Evans in Bakersfield, CA”

The oldest EHU1D to date and a quick look suggests the third oldest on the registry so far.

“I'm a bit confused and maybe somebody can educate me. I have a 1940 Mack which looks just like the green one in this picture which i always thought was a Model E. But last week i pulled it out of storage and the tag says "Model 25" Serial # is 25 S 1005. So what is a Model 25???”

1940mack, the first Type 25 for the list.

Thanks everyone! Anyone going to Gerhardt's make sure you give the Es a pat for me!

Oh man, that's lovely.

LOL, good point. It's the anticipation that gets me.

Good luck, TBone. You're doing a very good thing. Painful to think of what's been scrapped already so well done for making the effort to save what's left.

Mmm, integral cab. Not many of those down here.

Good luck on Saturday, burnin oil. The time when you're waiting to go check out a truck can never pass fast enough.

1940Mack, I think you have the first Type 25 I have ever come across. Would love to see some photos. How long have you had her for?

MAC63B67, Speed found what was left of an E bus a while ago but he couldn't get the serial off her. Would love to know as, like the Type 25, I have yet to see a photo of one.

Thanks, guys, for taking the time to post and mention your members of the E family!

Looks the goods, mate.

Awesome. That's just crept up the list of things to see when we finally get back to the US. Well done, Mack!

fxfymn, Michael and OMH, thank you for your additions. Great Macks, guys! I will get them listed soon. Am currently going through 790 photos from a highway run. Haven't gone cross-eyed yet but not far off it.

Feel free to email me at aircrewbooksATiinet.net.au (replacing the AT with @).

Hi guys, still kicking down here. Just attended an awesome run along the old Hume Highway. Lots of great old trucks and some fine Macks. Will post some pics in the antique section or in my album soon.

I have to update the E Registry with the most recent trucks listed above but I'd say we're over 60 Es now. Let's push on for 100! I won't make any promises with getting an official list out as I have done in the past but that is still the plan and it will be sent out to whoever has listed their truck and whoever is interested (email me at aircrewbooksATiinet.net.au - replacing the AT with @).

Great truck still earning her keep. Love it. Nice one, phildirt.

Could we make this thread a sticky please? That way it'll be easy to find and add to when we discover bulldogs in need of homes on Ebay. Just a thought.

Adding/confirming what MIke says, GG2, this is from Thomas Warth's Mack EH-EJ-EM-EQ-ER-ES 1936-1950 Photo Archive:

10,661 were built between 1937 and 1950. Original cab-over engine (EQU) was 16,000 pounds with the EQ at 23,000 pounds. By the late forties, design improvements increased GVW to 25,000 pounds on the dump truck, 27,000 pounds on the EQ, and 45,000 pounds on the tractor-trailer combination. The 354-cubic inch gasoline engine was used in the original specifications, and was superseded by the 431-cubic inch Thermodyne engine. The 457-cubic inch and 510-cubic inch diesel engines were optional.

Doesn't help much but might be of use if you go to look at the truck.

Wow, can't be too many BMs coming up for sale these days at such a reasonable (?) price.

Huge congrats, Thad. She's a fine B for sure. I remember when you first found the L dump that is your avatar!

Just asked on the E Model Registry if she was yours, Mike. Now I can see she is. Awesome stuff, mate. She's a beaut!

Will do, Don. That's an old EHU. I'll have to check if she's the oldest so far.

Mike, awesome EF1S. She yours? Would love to find something like that and have been entertaining ideas (again) of importing one to Australia.

Speed, yes I did hear about you moving the E on. Sorry I didn't reply earlier. Your message was got me started back along the road to 'recovery' as it were. Hope you can keep in touch with her. Hope you find one to replace her.

Great stuff, Josh. The EHT looks pretty straight (?).

Looking good, RS120.

Keep chipping away, mate!

Thanks Ironman Dan and FDNY. I will add these two to the registry shortly. Just come off a non-stop stint at work and not too keen about sitting in front of a computer at the moment!

Looks like she listens to you too, Rob.

That is really not nice. Print up a pay slip with a suitable 'deduction' on it a payback.

Looks like a bit of history there, Grandpa. Have you had her for long or just picked her up?

Hope everyone has a good and a safe one.
