Rodders Posted Tuesday at 06:38 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:38 PM Hi, I’ve just bought a 1943 Mack NM6 6x6 in the UK, which is in need of full restoration. I am after some information regarding the vehicle identification number plate that would normally be found on the glove box, however it’s missing, and so would like to know if anyone has any photos of one so that I can get a reproduction made. Or does anyone know if they are available? As you can see in the photos, the glove box is missing, but the winch data plate next to it is still there. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76006-ww2-mack-6ton-vin-numbers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Vladislav Posted Tuesday at 08:34 PM Popular Post Share Posted Tuesday at 08:34 PM Hi Rodders, Looks like you're in the beginning of quite a long story bringing this animal back on the road. I was in the same ball park 15 years ago and still haven't crawled out of the ditch. My project truck is NR not NM though. I have NM too but it's in relatively good and solid shape so I don't tear it apart so far. Speaking the VIN plate you're looking for they seem being made in a few different styles along the production years. More correctly the style was generally the same but they were made of steel (my truck NM-6 of 1944), of zink (the pic of NM-8 in Belgium) and possibly aluminium. Not sure of NM's but I have one off a NO and it's definitely alu. The plate on my truck is in good shape. But strange thing steel gets corrosion no matter the truck is kept in a dry shed. And I was too surprized just recently watching that palate I couldn't read the VIN stamping (!) and a half of other texts. Some good media blast cleaning is needed I belive but that's not so easy task since you may loose the script at all if done wrong. The Jag is series one, right?

Vladislav Posted Tuesday at 08:43 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:43 PM Ok, found much better pic. It was a restored British NM which was sold to Belgium. I took the photo in 2011. Don't know where the truck is now. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76006-ww2-mack-6ton-vin-numbers/#findComment-583676 Share on other sites More sharing options...
