I learned to drive stick in a truck just like that when I was just 6 years old. put lots of imaginary miles on it, and me playing in all the time might be what kept the brakes in working order.
67 Yrs ago I had a 1949 Mack EG. Looks like it had the same engine and transmission. We used that truck a long time, Dump in summer logs in winter. I don't remember it ever giving trouble!
Like international, Mack made their own equipment. Most other trucks are pretty generic. I drove Mack’s for a lot of years. I never had a break down. They work hard every day and they are there the next day for more. Yea, maintenance is key, but these electronic wonders of today are notorious for breakdowns. The only time I ever got stranded in a big truck was an electronic breakdown. That happened a few times.

with my old macks you could have a variety of things wrong with it and it will still haul a load
That shift pattern is crazy
What a beauty I look forward to seeing it restored
E.H is a gas engine:E.Q is Diesel.
Excellent Truck. What was the purchase price? Just curious.
The guy I got it from needed it out of his way and I had a few parts he wanted so we traded. Worked out pretty good I think.
Did you ever get this truck going? Do you still have it?
Can you show a picture of the carburetor
Is it an stromberg sf4
I have a 47 eh also
Does that mack have the air powdered starter, I can't remember what year they went to a electric starter
This might be the only big truck left in existence that the hotrodders haven’t grabbed the headlights
That is a very true statement. It still has the original dash, seat, and keys!
Nope, my neighbor has a Mack just like this but its red and its been sitting since 76.
