Updated info. We think that the rig was originally bought by Pittsburgh Steel - United Tube Company.

Glassport is next to the City of McKeesport. National Tube was located in McKeesport for years and had their own fire brigade. I know they had a 1938 "E". My friend, John Racke, owned the 1938 E rig. John died in 1997 and his wife sold it to another friend of mine, Rich Fowler from Shaler Twp. Rich traded it to yet another friend of mine, Rick James from State College. Rick has it and over a dozen Macks in his collection. There might be a chance that that truck could have been at National Tube as well.
