Evans
Australia or New Zealand ?
    From Australia, we have a positive identification of this Mack courtesy of Swishy Beamish, owner of Beamish Heavy Hauliers PTY, located in Wantrina, Victoria. Swishy forwarded this image from a 1977 publication: The Bulldog Bulletin identifies the packer body as Evans, a heretofore unknown builder to these pages. Being similar in appearance to Dempster, it is possible that Evans was a licensed builder of the Dumpmaster front loader for Australia.
    Thanks to Swishy for forwarding the old photo. In addition to his established hauling outfit, he also maintains two hobbyist sites; the Kenworth 'S' Model Truck Appreciation Society, devoted to the first custom-built truck for Australian conditions, and the Caterpillar 2-Ton Tractor World for aficionados of that famous tracked vehicle.
