HeavyGunner 2,379 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Could check steer and drive tires in the rear view mirrors. Cool truck. 1 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

theakerstwo 866 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 What years were they built? Quote glenn akers Link to post Share on other sites
Red Horse 1,619 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Rare for sure. JIM H or Rich P will probably remember old timer who lived in Blackstone MA had one on his property. Forgot his name but nice old boy. Last saw him at Macungie 3+ years ago. Has since passed on and family cleaned up property. In addition to the D had a bunch of AC's in various stages.

Popular Post Doug Maney 408 Posted April 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) The D-series was built between 1955 and 1958. The 1955 and early 1956 models had a squared off grille, no additional trim pieces and no rear corner windows. The second styling added the contour grill with the fancier trim, corner windows as well as other updates to stiffen the cab. There were a total of 832 built. The unique way of accessing the engine was called the Verti-lift system. There was a mast behind the cab, similar to a forklift that contained one cylinder that was raised by a cab jack or an electric pump which was optional. The green one in the photo is mine. It is a 1956 D-42 that was purchased new for Sinclair in Tulsa, OK. Edited April 9, 2019 by Doug Maney 7 Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

Here is his D-42 when it was being sold at the Remillard auction in 2017. Jeff Remillard had previously purchased the D when an auction was held to settle the estate of Mr. Robinson. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to post Share on other sites

bulldogboy 422 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I remember seeing the one in Blackstone, MA; not up close but in the yard with the other Macks. At least one "D" model was used as a fire truck. According to John Malecky, in his book, "Mack Tilt Cab Fire Apparatus", a 1956 "D" model was built for Esso as an airport fuel tanker and was later converted into a foam carrier at Esso's Bayway Refinery in Linden, NJ. In 1978 it was donated to the Readington Fire Company who used it until 1986. bulldogboy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

C609T 23 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I now own the D model that was at Ken Robinson’s. I purchased it at the Remilard auction in the summer of 2017. It’s on the list to be restored. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yarnall 975 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Here is the D model from behind the mack museum. It is looking for a home. There is a restored D model inside that is not. John Chalmers also has one that is pretty rough. Mike. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm not mistaken it was on here and was on long term loan to them. Don't exactly recall and to many MH posts to look through.

Doug Maney 408 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 The MH is on loan. It belongs to the Malo brothers in Canada. They saved it from export and loaned it to the Mack Museum. I believe it will be on its way to Canada before long. 1 Quote Interested in Old Trucks? Check out: www.antiquetruckclubofamerica.org Link to post Share on other sites
