I see the Jag is of the late serie with long rear lights. And I too like this graphite color for it. During about 15 years I had no less than 10 attemts to buy any but always missed it by some reason. Yes, Mercedes G-wagens is my deal, I mostly just part them out. There were a lot of them imported aside of the customs and paperwork fired up later. By the word they are very popular overhere due to the hard city traffic and lots of snow in the streets. The white one in the picture was originally G300/OM617 NA, with no turbo. It's not mine though but the guy's who worked at me. The one with a saw on the pic. It's 1983 and has 3rd body on its frame. The original one was burned off by a fire when he bought it and the second was crashed. Some years ago in-action pic.

Looks like a well done job. How much time did you spent primering/sanding/spraying? I keep my eye on them XJS's during a bunch of years but still haven't catched up one. Once bought that poor cat to cheer muself up. Vlad

Tom, nice to see the pics. Thank you.

Looks good. The only trouble I can't see "Overdorp" written on it

Merry Christmas BMT!

Congrats!

Jake, I just failed in love with your green RS! Pretty nice setup with the bunk and I too like the color. Have a ball with it. I just missed the thread by some reason.

Hi, That chassis number means the truck is NR-14 and was produced in 1944. There were 7080 NR-14 produced at all during 1944-45, about a half of all NR's. If you're interested in more detailed info the only way is to contact Mack museum. I did it and they sent me back the factory record with the date of production, original engine/tranny/axle numbers, make of tyres etc. They also used to supply a copy of truck's manual but I said them to not do it since I already had it. Very warm and friendly people. It usually takes time, up to two monthes because they're too busy answering about 100 requests every day (it was told so on here). They don't ask any fee for but there's a good practice to make donations back to the museum. If you have any special or technical questions feel free to PM me. I work extensive on my NR restoring it during four years to the moment and learned a lot about. Vlad

That looks really cool when you aren't in that fork loader. Thank you for sharing Larry

I'd like to put a nice one into my dash, it's good it has kilometers speedo. Although I'm too far from the cab rebuild at the moment.

From the pic it seems like need some TLC. Hope you'll bring it to life.

Looks like many Canadian and European units were equipped with it.

Cool pics Tom. I like how yellow T600 looks at the highway scenary. And it's strange to me that your 4x4's seem to me as 6x4's. Am I wrong? Can't count drive axles

Poor Trident.. Rear wheels still look like new. I think it's cool when you can put your hands on anything while on a vacation.

These are my favorites about colors. The last one looks like from the different neck of the woods though. The one you showed out seems to me beautiful. Although I'd go from black to dark olive fenders. Not almost Mack style but just my preference.

Tim, it looks like the time is not wasted. Too glad seing you there. Although there aren't pics of stuff we all lust to see.. NZ Macks !!

Best Birthday wishes Ray!

Awasome! I like the kind of the truck too.

Thank you for posting Paul.

More for you from Macungie. Don't forget there are smaller ones on the fire trucks. LT/LTL are different. There's also a "special" kind for Cummins long hood with extension in the front end.

Here you go. Hope you'll be able to realize what is what. Vlad

Guy, That's all very interesting, thank you for the story. Does the truck now belong to some one or to any museum? Any hopes to restore it?

You're welcome Al although I'm a puppy teacher in relation to the most of you Mack guru's. It was interesting to me for a long time why NR's were equipped with that small 519 ci Lanova's instead of for example more powerful END-672 (wich was also Lanova). By the word ED Lanova (it was correctly called that way, not ED-519) was the first Mack own serial diesel engine. One of the facts wich can explain that is the first serie NR-1 trucks (first pic) look like the further development of the earlier militarized Mack EXBX (second pic). So NR might be basically built not like a L-model but BX (I have no ideas what EX Mack could be??). This way Mack used a diesel engine of the thirty's.

LJ integral sleeper cab was almost different than a day cab. It was very close to a H model one (like the front one on the trailer on the pic above). You can note the difference in heigth of the front windows and the area with water channels above them. The back wall was also much wider. Vlad
