MACK 7 ton NO any out there

[ARMYMAN30YearsPlus]

I have a great book with all the WW II vehicles listed in it and one of the ones I would really love to see up close is the Mack NO 7 ton Cargo Artillery truck designed to haul the long tom 155 MM and the 240 MM cannons. The book says they could carry a full 5 tons with the 15 ton cannon in tow. I would really like to see one up close if there are any out there can you tell me where to look?

Frank Buck has a nice one in Gettesburg. I shot a pile of pictures of it for DD. There's also an unrestored one in Rockville, MD. He bought it out of Sam Winer, OH. He said it was the last one worth saving out of there. DD wrote somewhere that they use the same axles as the M123s.

There aren't that many left, most were scrapped years ago after the war. Those two TT mentioned are probably the only ones on the East Coast that isn't in a museum.

I think only about 2600 were made for the US. It shares many componets with the post war 10 tons. i think they all had a hoist in the bed.

Apologies for my ignorance, but is this the type truck you're talking about?

There are a number of these knocking about in the UK and Europe.

Mack

The WW2 vehicle museum in Hubbard Ohio has a Mack NO and a long tom on display. I have seen the ones at Sam Winers in Akron, rough would be generous.

I guess we left a bunch over there after we beat the Joy-mans. That'd make sense.

Thanks for the confirmation.

That truck is about 30 minutes from my house at the Military Vehicle Technology Foundation (Jaques Littlefield's armor museum - as seen on a recent episode of "Tank Overhaul")
