  1. This meme maker is GREAT!!!!!
  2. Yes and as you can see I have been practicing "No-Shave November."
  3. Yeah.....I imagine Harvey Eckert will put out a price for my head when I email this to him.......
  4. Not if they were smart.........
  5. The air horns are not Mack- probably Grover or Buell. If the spotlights you are talking about are the swivel ones on the corners of the cab, the best thing that can happen to them is getting destroyed. And they are not Mack, I forget who makes them, possibly Grote??? The bumper extension brackets I have to believe that a good frame man could fabricate.
  6. Hmmmm interesting.....If it's a 2-stroke I should have heard it......so should have the whole world.....And smelled it.....from 4 miles away.......and felt it....as I fall on my ass from slipping in the pee it leaves behind.........
  7. $24.00 will get you the island of Manhattan!!!!
  8. First thing you need to do is contact Don Schumacher at the Mack Museum- access his email through the Museum's portal off the Mack corporate website. Send him an email with the serial number of your truck, and in 8-10 weeks you will receive a large and very heavy package via UPS. It will be heavy because it will contain all of the factory records for your truck, plus engine, driveline and frame/body manuals. (several hundred pages each.) For this, thou shalt send the Mack Museum a nice donation- DONT BE CHEAP.
  9. Whats a Cummings? Never heard of it?????
  10. Ken....Although I certainly am interested (especially given that I will need more available seating by this June than the FWD currently offers) I am just posting for others at this point. If I came home with another truck, I would be living in your trailer.
  11. Something tells me she's trying to change the subject..........
  12. Disconnect battery. Chock wheels, place in gear. Safety first.
  13. https://www.municibid.com/detail.asp?id=17860&n=1973-Mack-CF-Pumper-with-50-Foot-Telesqurt
  14. Here's a later MC version that I took on the Manhattan side of the Holland Tunnel early on a Sunday morning probably 20+ years ago (back when you could do something like that because the PA Cops knew the difference between a Truck/Fire Buff and a Terrorist.)
  15. That FDNY MB was a tractor for a tiller-ladder and then later converted by FDNY Shops with the 750 Holmes and a body I believe was built in-house.
  16. Sorry. No can do.
  17. Stifle yourself. Here. Remain calm, all is well.
  18. 1958 F.W.D. saying to Slpwlkr: "When we get home, I'm gonna punch your momma square in the mouth."
  19. Yup. They're cheap enough. Do the whole thing instead of having that spring pop out and taking your head off. If the slack adjusters look like they are in good shape and dont have any slop just take em off, clean em up real good and grease em and you should be ok.
  20. Oh you have balls talking about a dirty truck!!!!!! LOL!!!!!
  21. Please excuse my faux pas. Largest annually held truck show- same time, same place. I hang my head in shame and will never do it again.
  22. Where in Jersey do you have to go??? You should plan it around Macungie 2014 which is June 12-13-14. If you need any help with planning accommodations or rides reach out to me.
  23. Hey Carl, I hope you are a good retired firefighter......'cause you SUCK as a comedian!!!! LOL!!!!!!!
  24. I should open up a travel agency, now I have a bunch of Aussie Firefighter buddies yammering to come over that want to see certain sights within the FDNY and the Philadelphia Fire Department!!! LOL
  25. There is a Federal Law about the three of us getting together at the same time in the same place.
