Vladislav Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Woo-hoo! Thank you Paul! It took me a bit of head scratching to figure out what model of the truck is displayed. Definitely it's NO 6x6. Of original components there could be recognized chassis on 12.00-24 Budd wheels, front bumper with heavy winch, front fenders, hood and grill. Any ideas on where the picture was taken? Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truck pictured is a model NO. The Mack N model indeed had the Budd cab that was also used by Ford and others. The truck pictured might be a Memphis Equipment Company conversion. Years ago, they bought many NOs and refurbed them with enclosed cabs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxbxc Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Boy I sure wish I was old enough with deep pockets back in the 50" The NO and Diamond t's and let us not skip the Kenworth wreckers and the big Ward Lafrance wrecker That I would have loved to buy All the heavy towing companies were buying surplus ,House movers used Diamond T tank transporter, and some of those old wreckers worked up into the eighties if not later.

Freightrain Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Towing company I bought my B from had a big Autocar wrecker that was sold many years ago. It showed up on Facebook, someone posted a pictures of this beast sitting in a lot looking well worn. It is currently in Canada somewhere. I asked owner about it, it was sold because he couldn't keep a driver that knew how to drive something that old(three sticks, no power steering, etc). 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

There were NO, NR, NM, NB, NJU and some others in the line. 2 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
