Thanks for the info. I'm now waiting for the Mack museum to come up with some info. Will definitely also contact Cal Little.

My truck is complete for the most part so I didn't have to source any major parts. I'm now looking for a factory identification plate. Seems your truck has that one still on the dash. Will make that engine pics for you of course.

I'm in The Netherlands. To my current knowledge car parts from the USA imported into Europe are charged with 10% import tax. Still too much of course

Thanks for the comments ! Still stitching all info together on this rig. It was originally delivered to Kellog - Idaho. I received an overview of the chassis number records from the factory to prove that information is correct. The amount of labour put into this truck was huge for sure.. it's basically "as new" with only some small parts to be checked / repaired /replaced. f.e. I'm now still looking for a blank factory identification plate since that item is missing. Will post all info and pics here: http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?showtopic=18519&pid=75203&st=0entry75203

Thanks for the thumbs up ! I'm just starting the "investigation" to the history of my truck. Seems it was manufactured February 1934 and delivered March of the same year to the town of Kellog - Idaho. I've requested build sheets etc.. from the Mack museum so I hope to get some more info on prior owners / restauration etc..

Just want to introduce myself and my truck here. Recently purchased a '34 fire truck and I'm now trying to start and understand (and admire) some of the mechanics. Might need some help from you guys at times. I'm in Europe and both parts and knowledge might sometimes be hard to find. Paul

Just received a reply from Don at the Mack Museum The right chassis number on my truck is now confirmed to be: 6BQ6S 1008 It's a model 95 from '34. After studying your pics a lot of things are either identical or similar. If you ever need close up pics feel free to contact me! Will create a seperate thread with some pics.

Edit: The VIN on my truck is 6B26S1008

Yes, recently bought 6BB26S1008. So far my information was that it's a 1934 truck so I'm a bit puzzled that yours is indicated as 1931 with a later VIN number. Will post some pics after I get them on my PC. Didn't make a close-up pic of the the VIN tag yet, will recheck that as well to see if all matches up. Didn't get a reply from the Mack museum yet on my request for info.
