This one's a mystery - I have my suspicions but cannot confirm. A virtual apfelstrudel for the first to provide the details...

...nice pics Tatra .. i would guess she was always a B model Mack with, for whatever reason, an F series Ford cab and custom headlight front... :) :) :-/ :-/ :-/

Yes, that would have been my first thought but the front axle is set back more than on a B61 and less than a B81 :-?

I wonder if it's an NR Mack with F series Ford cab. Whatever it is it looks like somebody has done a pretty professional job on it.

The f series cab with the wrap around windscreen was a 1956 model.

...what you may find is the axle location is correct for a B model...but the front sheetmetal has had the pinocchio treatment.... :-/

Look like yanky "Clariben" mudguards. Clariben made fibreglass tilt hoods for a lot of yank trucks

You might Laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at you because you're all the same

I would doubt this is a Clariben bonnett, the truck was pictured in Spain. I think it's fairly safe to assume there's some coachbuilder art here but why? NR with a Cummins (that would explain the longer bonnett)? You can just about see the dogs on the sides and the rad top... There were a couple of local Spanish specialists using Mack bits but usually they'd remove the dogs...
