Description

1955 MACK LTL with Cummins NHS supercharged engine

Part restored, very rare Mack LTL.
West coast “lightweight” model with aluminium suspension mounts, chassis cross members and other parts.

All hard work done. Needs prep and painting, trim, glass and door furniture to be put back in, interior to be done and wiring and fuel line put in. Plus any personal touches you want to add.

“King of the hill” 275 supercharged Cummins engine. Beautiful engine with the ultimate sound and engineering. Ran strong on purchase - have video of it driving and going through the gears (oil drained and throttle and electrics not currently connected).

V5 in my name, UK road registered (all taxes paid etc)

Mack 5-spd

4-spd Spicer auxiliary trans

Spicer power tower and chain driven Tulsa winch

10 new aluminium Alcoa wheels

10 Michelins with less than 50 miles from new fitted before I purchased the truck 5 years ago

New brakes, tie rods, bushings, drive shaft & starter relay

Rebuilt aluminium steering box

Restored steering wheel

New stainless rear quarter fenders

Original style Mack rear heavy duty rubber mudguards with bulldogs

Bought as well running truck with good mechanicals (I have not rebuilt)

Substantially more than asking price spent on restoration so far. All the hard work done

Fully disassembled, blast cleaned chassis and suspension, painted and built back from ground up

New suspension/ leaf pads (elephant feet)

Two restored fuel tanks (one steel one aluminium)

There was minimal rust in the cab but that has all been dealt with professionally. Cab ready for prep for paint

Restored steel original Mack wings for paint. Second set of original front wings (unrestored) also supplied

Fully restored and pressure tested radiator and radiator/ grille louvers with air operated mechanism. Lots of beautiful bits including brass tubes and fittings and ali parts including rocker covers and many other parts

Custom made front and rear aluminium bumpers with vintage lights in rear

Vintage front spot lights to fit in openings in front bumper

New stainless headlights and rear lights (originals included in sale)

Vintage front bumper tow hooks and winch hook

5th wheel and rear power tower/ headache rack

Losing my storage in 2026 so sadly it needs to go and it would be great to see it finished and on the road!

Happy to speak to genuinely interested parties. I may be able to arrange transport. Not currently running as engine needs wiring, plumbing and priming plus throttle reconnected

Real presence and a real bit of American trucking history

Have factory build sheet from the Mack museum in Philadelphia (they also have links to parts suppliers) and the parts and operating manuals for the truck and engine
