Default Mack NR-10

Hi There
This old Mack has been around the farm for quite a while . I didnt know how old it was for sure , but engine rebuild tag is from 1952 .
Then I noticed lots of green drab paint showing under that lovely baby blue.
So Im wondering if any one can tell by looking at the pics if this was military.
thanks
Anthony

Default Truck - yes, crane - no

The General Service part on the tag means it was originally an ordinary cargo truck, and the Supply Mech reference means made on contract for the Commonwealth Forces.

If you can get the number following the Supply Mech bit, then David on here should have contract details on file.
