This is a beauty..
A full tandem drive design..611 Cubic Inch 6 cylinder engine..
Originally designed as a tractor as the skid plate shows to recover heavy tanks or what ever else neede hauling..Were in use in the Canadian service at least into the '60's..and probably still some around.The twin boom wrecker is a Garwood probably removed from a Diamond "T" which was the usual wrecker model.There was also the 57 model Mack..bigger cab,soft rollback canvas top..but the same otherwise..
A great one to save...
