For Sale: 1955 Mack B85F fire truck; fully restored body and new paint. Truck has big block Chevy engine and HD GM automatic transmission. Great for parades and fundraising events. Drives great. Fully restorable to original if you have an EN707B engine. Over $25K spent on restoration. Asking $15,500 or best offer. Email hickma_b@bellsouth.net for more picturres or information. Thanks for looking. Bob

I have two EN707B engines which are being parted out. They are from B85F firetrucks. Both are pretty much disassembled. I have pistons, distributors, a rebuilt starter, a rebuilt water pump, intake manifolds, pushrods, oil filter canisters (both types) and other many engine components. I have two good reworked heads which I had rebuilt and have over $750 invested. Blocks have gone to the scrap yard. To help them find a good home email me at hickma_b@bellsouth.net and we can work out a deal.

I had two Mack Tetrapoid Gears 5 speed transmissions, Part Number 284KB-XXX; both went for $5.50 a hundred at the junk yard. Still have some of the items listed in the previous post.

The truck came with a siren which I have rebuilt and am keeping. There are no emergency lights as such that were original. I have a light bar which was added sometime later; I have no use for it but cannot speak for its value.

I have most of 2 complete disassembled EN707B engines from a 1955 B85F pumper including: 10 pistons (two were accidently broken), 2 cranks, 2 cams, 2 good recently reworked heads, 1 rebuilt carburator, and of course 2 good blocks. Also have 2 nice Mack chrome valve covers and air cleaner, new clutch plate and pressure plate and all sorts of other goodies. If you need it, I probably have it. I can send photos of any component. All parts will be sent to the scrap yard on or about Memorial Day weekend 2009. Email me @ hickma_b@bellsouth.net and we can work out a deal. I will be at the ATHS show in Huntsville AL in late May; I will be in the show area with the B85F firetruck.
