I haven't had it out much this year. Last year it was in a couple of parades and made a few trips to the grocery store and the pharmacy. I love the looks people give me when I do that!!

Original paint job!

How it looked when my volly FD bought it!

What it looks like today waiting to back into my pole barn!

_{I believe that part is still availble from your mack dealer...but will be grey in color.}

AWESOME! I jusy assumed it wouldn't be because of the age. I will check next time I am in Madison. Thanks!!

I own a 1974 Mack CF and it has a front of the cab roof mounted manually operated vent. The moulding that interfaces between the headliner and the interior cab roof is broken beyond repair. It is cream in color but it doesn't matter to me what color a replacement would be.

So if anyone has one, or has a line on one I would be appreciative.

Howdy, I am Don a retired career firefighter and a current member of 2 volunteer fire departments in Wisconsin. My Dad was a volunteer firefighter in Illinois on a department that ran all Macks back when he was a member. Heck, when I was a kid I thought Mack and firetruck meant the same thing and in many ways I still do!!

Anyways, one of my volly FDs bought a 1974 Mack CF pumper from a suburb of Chicago and we ran it for about 10 years. When it was time to retire it I bought it and now it rests in the garage bay of my pole barn. I have some rust repair to do to it and I need to mount the old gumball warning lights back on it. I am adding equipment to it to try and make it look like an in service ready to go pumper.
