Importing Mack Truck from Canada

[Mack Snow Fighter]

Hello friends, 

I want to bring in a 2005 Mack CV713 truck from Canada equipped with a snow plow and wing.  Trying to work with my local dealer to get a letter  from Mack stating that it meets the US safety requirements.  So far no luck, my dealer says no response from Mack, but they are trying again.  Any shortcuts, number I can call directly to Mack for someone to help me?  Anyone here with experience doing this? The truck is in Quebec about 7 hours north, and I plan to drive it across the border.   My dealer is getting me a replacement engine label, and it should say it conforms to EPA, so I think I'm good on that, just need the letter regarding the safety information. Thanks for your help

Send an email to Doug Maney, the curator of the Mack Museum.. He may have a contact to help you.. PM me if you need an email address different from the museum's website..

If you could supply me with his email I would greatly appreciate it.

By the way I'm finding it should be easy to import a Mack truck back to the USA, provided I can get a letter from the manufacturer.  Trucks bearing the CMVSS sticker are allowed to be imported. The Canadian trucks bear a CMVSS sticker instead of FMVSS. The two standard are almost identical except some dash lights, speedometer,  and tires and rims  have the Maple Leaf instead of DOT. All of these differences are allowed.   The manufacturer just needs to state what the differences are.  And of course the all important engine label, which my dealer is able to get a replacement. Thanks for your help.

I'll get photos to you when I get the truck!  Still working through the paper work.  Iron planet didn't even give me the tiltle yet after 3 weeks, and Customs says I might need the title to get through the border, They said its up to the officer on duty to decide if I have enough proof of ownership when I get to the border.   Sounds a little sketchy  to try it without.
