57 bcr Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 That is cool,Paul. P.I.E. was not a big Mack customer,although they buy the BULLDOG,from time to time. I recall them using FL cabovers in the '60's. Al . Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Although it looks like the letter M, I think the notation states LHSW. Not a lot of those were built.

Phase 1 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I believe I have seen somewhere that the LH was a lightweight model, possibly like an LJ with light parts on it, aimed at the western market. I suppose that when the LTL came out, it took most of the sales away from the LH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From 1940 to 1953 totally 12,453 LF series trucks and 822 LH series trucks were made. Mostly West Coast and a lot of Aluminum on the body and Chassis. Series LJ and LM were heavier. They could be optioned out an END405, END519 or END605 engine.
