Yes very scarce model indeed. Only 67 N613s made during their production run from 1957-1960.

 You can't save them All, But that one Definitely deserves to be Saved...!!

Yard where truck sits is slowly being cleared out. Started truck up last week. Has air leaks and needs batteries and one of the wing windows has been cracked. Owner will accept offers and I will assist with removal from property. With work could be excellent ranch truck or a unique truck for shows.

[yarnall]

It would sell easily in PA.

Truck is still available.

Also 1937 Cat RD4 dozer, late 1950s Champ 35' forklift and other construction machinery available.

Gentleman. If any of you are at all interested in this truck please contact me ASAP. The children of deceased former owner have been offered $400 from the scrap man and they intend to clean the property up by March. This is a running 1960 Mack N613 with a Mack Turbo Diesel, triplex trans, power steering, and air brakes. Surely the parts alone are worth more than $400 to someone. Plus it's a very rare model truck ... I hate to see it get cut up or sent to Mexico. Yes it needs work, but I doubt its beyond the capabilities of most here. I expect to be able to drive the truck onto your trailer. A new 3/4 ton pickup is 65k to 75k+. For less than that I believe you could repaint this truck, go through the mechanicals and have one of the only working 1960 Mack N613's left. Again I expect to be able to drive the truck onto your trailer. Please contact me.

@mowerman You should slip over to LA and drive this baby home. Be like the good old days. It needs saved and you could be the guy to do it. LOL 

[mechohaulic]

sad to read stories like this. it might not be the nicest looking mack  made ; the history of that model such a short run. it's same as those B21 firetrucks; clean up and tinkering they look totally different. I can't go to LA  for it

[67RModel]

Isn't there a big Mack guy on the West coast.....Oregon I think. He was featured in Wheels of Time Magazine about a year or so ago. He has a pretty nice collection and does all the restoration. Maybe it would be up his alley? Not that Southern California is all that close to Oregon but worth a shot for a rare model maybe? I'll have to dig for that edition of WOT and see if I can find his name. Maybe someone on the forum knows him.

His nick name on here is Mack daddy if I'm not wrong.

Hope the N-model will be saved one way or another.

[tjc transport]

it is just a shame that that truck is 3000 miles away. it is probably closer to Vlad than it is to me.

i would gladly grab it. but not at that distance.

That guy is the one that does the painting. He's in the issue with the two LTs  set up with the log bunks if I remember correctly .

It would make a great roll back. Unfortunately I'm like  the others on the EC so I'll just egg Bob on. It would be worth $400 just to drive it to Reno.

[Mark T]

😂Bob's get'n the pressure on this one.

67RModel I think the gentleman that you are referring to is Dan Thomas from Medford Oregon 

[Joey Mack]

Yeah Bob!!!  Are you there yet??      Man,,, I wish I was right next door....  jojo

[67RModel]

Well I tracked Dan down on the forum here and send him a PM to check it out. Hopefully the message finds him and he has the time to at least check this one out. I don’t know if he gets on anymore or not…..I know at the end of the day it’s just a Ford cab (I think) with a Mack badge on the front but this truck should be saved….

[CTG]

I am happy to report that last night a deal was made between the owners and an antique truck collector from Oregon. Thank you all for getting the word out. Your help certainly saved this truck from an almost certain demise. Now, joyfully my work begins...to extricate it from the yard where it has sat for nearly 40 years, and perhaps to have the PRIVILEGE of driving a 63 year old Mack truck with a triplex. Thank you again.

[mackdaddy]

Thanks to 67RModel and Chris!! A few interesting takes on this truck. My friend Norm Taunton of Galt, CA has serial number 057 so one up from this one. Norm says that a grocery chain in LA purchased 10 of these new. They were red as well. But this truck has the Ford grill which wasn't uncommon as the Mack N grill was fiberglass and broke easily. And there is no doubt that the interior is Mack and totally different than the Ford version. But I have never seen an N model with single headlights? And the Stainless front plate is missing too. Here is a picture of Norm's and yes, he did stretch the frame to make the flatbed.

That great. I’m glad it being saved. Have fun with it Dan. Mike 

[mowerman]

Thank god I was really surprised that thing was still sitting there that long, and yes, very tempting worst part of entire caper would be arguing with the old lady entire 3 days before I getting thrown out of the house bodily and changing the locks  I was even thinking I wonder if norm knows about it … Bob

[mowerman]

The day I met norm he was driving that N model…. Bob

Yeah it’s only 460 from here and I have room for it

[mowerman]

I almost bought the Ford  version around 30 years ago. It was a stake body   lift gate. .diesel 1000 bucks from a friend  nothing wrong with it. No place to put it how to pass.
