1921 Mack AC Log Truck

The Mack AC was the first to carry the name “Bulldog” which is from the French-style hood. It is powered by a 40 hp, 471 cubic inch gasoline engine. The radiator is mounted behind the engine rather than in front. The engine is started with a hand  crank.

It has a top speed of about 17 mph. It has hard rubber tires and a chain drive.
