DESCRIPTION: A Chain-Drive Hard-Rubber-Tired ‘AC’ MACK tractor is pulling a high-side early hydraulic dump semi-trailer. The driver sits casually behind the wheel with his leg propped outside on the kerosene lantern, while another worker stands with his foot on the running board. this is Fleet No. 3 in the Terminal Trucking Co. fleet. Location unknown. Dump body is side boarded, and loaded with a heaped load of material. The AC has no headlights but does have a side cowl-mounted Adlake-style lantern, an open “C Cab” with canvas side curtain rolled up, a small round rearview mirror on the fender, hand-crank starter on the front, sturdy front tow hooks, an interesting early 3-hoist hydraulic/cable lift system on the trailer, with tailgate release leaver and linkage visible. The AC Mack has cast spoke wheels, while the trailer has wooden spoke wheels. The adjustable louvers on the side-mounted split-radiator was introduced in 1922, replacing the screen-sided radiator. This photo has a white border on all 4 sides.
MACK ‘AC’: The famous Mack Model ‘AC’ was the truck that made Mack famous around the world, and was known as the “Bulldog” Mack for its rugged dependability in WWI Europe ... a nickname that stuck and gave rise to the phrase “Tough as a Mack truck”. The open C Cab was the first truck cab to be made of steel, although most windshields were still wooden-framed. Some 40,200 ‘AC’ Macks were produced from 1916 to 1938, one of the longest production runs of any model truck. Built with a 4-cylinder gas engine and a 4-speed transmission with chain-drive, the ‘AC’ was well suited for tough construction work. The split side-radiator behind the engine, allowed for a sloping hood design and better driver visibility. A ‘motometer’ sits atop the center of the rear mounted radiator, for the driver to monitor engine temperature, manually opening and closing the side radiator louvers to cool or warm the engine. Some of these rugged chain drive AC Macks were used on construction and within the cities up into the early 1950s ... hard to believe!
