1947 Mack firetruck





Found at the Motor Transport Museum

the last of the C cab Mack trucks, a 1939 model FG with a Quick Way crane


It was impossible to take a better photo of this huge truck in the building. The damn back lighting from the windows is frustrating too.. and all the clutter. But hell, it's still worth looking at the photo to get a glimpse of such an old workhorse.


I can't fit in much at close quarters






One of many impressive and cool rare old trucks at the Motor Transport museum in Campo, between Arizona and San Diego on the interstate 8

1923 Mack AC Bulldog, dual chain drive and dualie tires... operable and restored. Stored for most of the last 70 years


I didn't know before this that the Mack was a truck made by the International Motor Co, and that the IM in the center of the hood was symbolic of International Motor


 


 

I haven't seen this design of steering wheel before, rivets or screws holding fasteners to the rim from the spokes.

Fuel delivery trucks, the variety is impressive

 I like the airplane in the background, and the design of the fuel truck back half.

looks very short, but I hope that is a optical illusion from the camera angle. I'm surprised that the letters are add ons. It looks really good.

wow, that is old.

The coolest of the photos here in my opinion, the 1940 Ford has been chopped to the belt line, and some odd panels on top of the fenders. Really professional looking, and of course, it's very cool that there is a plane in the background

I haven't seen a double trailer in a long time


Even older that that gren truck, this is what a Mack truck looked like in the 19 teens. Solid rubber tires, looks like wood spoke rims, side curtains and a "C" cab.



Above is in the Ramsey Museum in Dover Ohio

 wow, great looking truck and tanks. And pumps were mounted on the sides! Cool!
