unfortunately things like this are usually word of mouth, as in "hey I saw this rig on the highway, or in a lot, or in service in xx town." did you check with the department that owned it originally? these rigs didnt have VIN's per se, as they were built before 1980, so the serial number is all you have to go on. if you have someone that could run the serial thru DMV you might get a hit on that. I have a pretty large Mack database for all the models post 1940, and I am still missing info, or picking up pieces of info here and other places.
good luck with your search! I would like to know where it is to update my database too!
This is what I have on these rigs. Corrections or additions are always welcomed.

STRASBURG MACK USED BY NEW FRANKLIN A SHORT TIME WHILE OWNED BY DR. ORANGE. CURRENTLY STORED IN THE TOWNSHIP BUILDING DUE TO ISSUES WHICH I WON'T GET INTO.
This was part of a slide collection I bought on ebay earlier this year. Fmr IFD Eng 3 '75 Mack MB/Howe 1250/500. Unknown photographer. Possibly Duane Troxell.
Fmr IFD Trk 4 '75 Mack MB/Howe 1250/500/50' TeleSqurt. Soory for the crappy shot, but this was the only shot I could get before the film ran out in my camera back in the early '90s.
This was also in the post card collection I mentioned earlier. Tolland, CT Resce 240. '78 Mack R/Saulsbury with a Mack Maxidyne 676 283hp diesel and a Mack Maxitorque 5-speed tranny, a 15 kw Onan diesel generator, and a Ramsey 10 ton PTO front winch. Photo by Richard J Allen.
