Matt, you might be interested to know that Lee Haeberlein (also a BMT member) in California has a fully-restored 1948 EH1S with a White motor, IIRC. I have his contact details if you're interested in getting in touch with him.

Good to hear from you, Tom.

All the best with the resto, Paul.

Sorry for the slow reply, Bob, but many thanks for the details. Sounds like she was worth hunting down! Got any photos?

Thanks to Ray (Tinman), we also have details of the oldest EH1D on the registry (c/n 1743) and Matt Williams, new to Macks, has just bought an EG1S that is the oldest EG1S on the registry. Many thanks guys!

Oh dear, I think we're up to 51 entries. Better get the registry "official" now!

Thanks Ray, I'll do a Google search to see if I can turn up further details.

Thanks to MACKRAWL for providing details of his A30H.

Ossablt, once you find your chassis number, did you know you can write to the Mack Museum (along with a non-compulsory donation is nice) to get the line sheet and a whole heap of other info related to your specific truck? They can also tell you if the diff, gearbox and engine are original to the truck.

As you can see from my signature, the E registry is just short of the 50 entries level. Once we reach 50, I'll put together a pdf document of similar format to the B registry.

The past couple of days has seen new member Tinman provide details of five Es, one of which was already listed (Rigfire's Texas-based Type 75S). However, Tinman provided details of our first two 505S', the oldest EF1S on the registry and the first consecutive chassis number listing (a Type 75S still owned by the Charleston FB). Many thanks Ray!

Thanks mate, will add her in.

A dump bed, Packer?! I'm jealous.

Hope the petting went well. I've found one down here as well but she's quite the derelict and the price is too high for what she is. Will still go have a look though. ;-)

EDIT: actually I've found two in two weeks. One is about 10 hours north of me and is the most complete unrestored example I've seen in Australia to date. Got most excited.

Thanks Mike. You score another one?

The first EE for the registry and, going by the chassis number, I'd guess at 1942.

Thanks OD, Mike and Barry - excellent stuff. We're now on 13 entries. With what you guys provided, we have a few firsts:

- the lowest chassis number: 1504 owned by Watt's

- the first A40S: as provided by OD.

- the highest chassis number: 10268 provided by OD.

- the first A50Ts: thanks Mike.

- the first A54Ts: Mike again.

At first glance, based on previous listings, I would say all of Mike's A50Ts are 1951 builds. However, I have Sarnia Concrete's A30H 3474 listed as 1952 and Rob's A40H 5180 listed as 1951 so that doesn't really help Mike's 4851. Looking at the A54Ts doesn't help either! All very interesting.

Am surprised you want to pull the GM out, Joe. Is she a "happy" engine?

Welcome mate. Hope you enjoy it here. Has your uncle registered his trucks on the B-Model registry?

Great minds think alike, Carl. I just sent a PM to Rob suggesting I run a piece to try to drum up a group. I can think of a few off hand that should be interested and I might dip in as well for "future supply" for that empty spot in my shed...

Haven't forgotten your memory stick either :-)

We're up to four entries pre-Superdog. Two A30Hs, an A40H and an A51E. A good start. Thanks to Werkhorse, Sarcon, Rob and Greg Rider.

Bloody rip-off those Ebay mirrors. Gives the rest of us down here a bad name. LOL.

Congrats on your Mack, mate, looks like she's found a good home.

Awesome, thanks Mike. Hope you, the family and the dogs are well.

No worries, Barry. Gotta preserve that patina!

#3 now!

Could I have the chassis number please?

G'day Pesanti, welcome.

Brilliant, thanks Greg. First entry and we're off to a flyer. I thought she might have been an old fire truck. Love your email - who doesn't?!

Hi all

As suggested by Joe D., I thought it might be an idea to try to get an A-model registry off the ground as well. The E-model registry is ticking along and one of the many things on my list of jobs to do is contact the ATHS and ATCA to see if they can pass on members' details for those who own such Macks. We'll see how that goes.

In the meantime, if you have an A (same cab as E...and probably a few other similarities) or know of some around, please post her chassis number, and any other details you know, here. I would also appreciate your real name, location and email address but you can PM that if you want to keep it private. I know less about As than I do Es (even less of them down here than Es too) so I'm perhaps not the best person to run a registry but since the E registry is set up why not?! As with the E registry, when this eventually gets to 50 entries, I'll make it available to all in pdf format.

Barry, could you please pin this thread?

Let's see what comes out of the woodwork.

Andy

Awesome A30, mate.

Hi Mark

Just read your story. Don't know how I missed it. Way to go with the Bs - two of my favourites: dump truck and an integral sleeper. Hope their return to life is going well.
