Milaca Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Some photos from December 8th before a snowstorm came through that night and left nearly 12 inches of snow on the ground. I may try to dig & haul more again this weekend if the weather cooperates.And last but not least, look at what arrived from the Mack museum yesterday! All combined, it was over 2 inches thick! The truck was ordered 3-3-1964 and built in May along with 14 additional identical trucks for the Petroleum Resources Company of Minneapolis, MN to be used for hauling propane. I did some searching of this company but came up empty handed, as I had hoped to find some old photos of their fleet. Anyone familiar with this company? I assume they either went out of business or merged with another company and changed names.The hand printed paint instructions on the order form/spec sheet for the truck was for the top of cab above the beltline to be DuPont Dulux White Enamel #094-538 and the remainder of the sheet metal , chassis, running gear & spoke wheels to be DuPont Red # 094-6478. I'll be sending the museum a token of my appreciation very soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Just speculation. The C model came out in 64-65. The last B model was in 66. U's started in 65 and r's 66. Sounds like theC model was a chance to use up the last of the L cabs and B fronts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
