    Don't know... this old girl is seriously old; like 60's old.
    Would be a good item to restore cause I'm 64, and I never saw another one.
    Too bad I didn't stop for info and pictures.

    I used to deliver to Inner city supermarkets ( hump loads
    Off onto rollers out side doors double parked in the street mostly,very few loading docks) in NYC and the 5 Boros with a 1986 Mack cabover back in the 90's. Great truck very reliable ,only broke down once in 2 years (air compressor went) . Many times did a day load and then took a night load ( log book? What's that lol!)sometimes had to pick up up to $25k in cash on COD loads.Crazy work that paid great (about $10 mile and the GW bridge was only $20 then) try delivering into China town in NYC on a Friday night ,it was combat work.great money back then especially with fuel being $1.05 a gallon . I bought that truck for $6k off of LJ Kennedy (Mack dealer had them on consignment) when they were switching to conventionals . Great truck.
