james j neiweem Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I believe Mack was going to manufacture van trailers in about 1970 or so. I remember seeing an old ad for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAD DOG Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Didn't the Mack Brothers originate as wagon and carriage builders before they got into building trucks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelman Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I have a mack built 4 wheel trailer used to haul a 3" antiaircraft gun in World War 1. Don't have the gun, but the trailer has AC rear wheels, and is extremely heavy. It has the old style rectangular brass tags that said Mack in script, International Motor Company, and a space for a serial number. Bought it 38 years ago from a farmer. His dad had purchased it as war surplus in the 1920's. It is exactly like the unit pictured on page 165 of John Montville's book, "Mack". Don't think it made it to Europe. Twenty five miles up the road from me, at Quantico, Va. USMC base, they had a couple of these for several years. They had pictures of them at the old museum they had at the airbase on the river before they built the new museum a few years back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 There was probably one of those(alum. container) intact somewhere until the last scrap boom,Paul! Hope I'm wrong,but it could happen!

Popular Post steelman Posted January 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2014 Here is a picture of my Mack built gun trailer when I bought it in 1976. I am in the process of restoring it and a 1918 AC Mack to pull it. Carey Leitch 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
