we had a 66 crackerbox 85 foot aerial ladder, with 750 gallon water tank,1000GPM pump, and a full compliment of ladders. it was ordered with the V12 gas engine. by the time they got around to building it the V-12 was discontinued and they put in an 837 magnum. that thing was the biggest turd i ever drove. by the time they got rid of it in 85, it had only racked up 16,000 miles. if you had to go north of the firehouse, you had to go west 1 mile and then northeast to get to the other side of the big hill 1/8 mile from the firehouse. the truck would not climb the hill, even in first gear low gear in the two speed rear. and it only had a 55 mph top speed. it was donated to a fire company in new mexico or arizona, it took them 3 weeks to drive it out there.

Correct you are. Half of the engine was in the cab.

yea, but you also ate elmers glue and crayons. oh wait, maybe that explains why you are the way you are?

yup, the 9000 was a short nose. we had one with a 290 cummins and a 10 speed. great truck.

But how many did HE take in??

exactly. i only believe around 2% of what i read in news, and the same 2% of anything said about trump.

wow, what a beauty!!

86 should still be on the floor........BUT. the switch probably fell apart and a previous owner just eliminated it and stuck a jumper wire in the plug to turn headlights on . look around the driver side kick panel for a 3 pin dimmer switch plug, one pin on top, two on bottom

i kind of disagree. list them in the census , but as IN COUNTRY ILLEGALLY this way people can see how many illegals are really here.

ok. i do remember that cummins had a 3 somewhere in it.

was not the "13" designation for a cummins engine?

Fords largest truck currently is the F750

yup, like me when i went from a Mack to a Kenworth as a daily driver. i could tell you almost anything you wanted to know about a Mack. but a Kenworth? all i knew is it was an over the road truck.

yup. they figured it was at least 100 years old, because that section was a farmstead before becoming part of the county park system, and the building only got power and inside plumbing when gifted to the park in the early 70's. the building was timber frame, and built in the early 1800's. we were converting it to a historic display of life in the 1800's, and the bathroom was hidden in a small addition the original kitchen still had the well pump under the sink cabinet. and still worked.

Bob, many years ago a friend had a 66 Dm 800 on a b81 frame. With a V8 and allison automatic trans. That truck was a real bastage getting parts for

73 was the change over year. i have seen early made 73's with steel "round" dash, and later builds with the plastic dash. by 74 all macks i have ever seen had plastic dash.

nope, was good on smokes Bob................but i was running short on water by the time they got me out, the last bottle was almost empty.

i was not sure if Mack made a 13 speed Dave, that is why i did not include it in my list.

around 40 years ago i was digging a new septic tank in a county park. 30 foot away from the states largest poplar tree, which was also protected under state order as a landmark. i pulled a bucket of dirt out of the ground and saw a liquid dripping from the bucket about the same time the county inspector screamed bloody murder and everyone started running. needless to say i was not really paying attention until the second bucket came out of the ground. i had dug directly into a 12 foot diameter yellow jackets nest, and boy were they pissed!!! luckily both the 235 excavator i was in and the ford F8000 single axle dump truck the driver was in both had AC so we did not get attacked/stung. he took off with the truck and dumped, then left the park for 1/2 hour to get away from the yellow jackets. i was stuck in the machine for 3 hours until they could get an exterminator there to smoke them out so i could get out of the machine. for about 45 minutes the bees were so thick on the machines windows i could not see out of them. and even after that they were so thick around the machine and hole there was no way i was getting out. three days later they got rid of all the bees and nest so we could finish digging the tank pit.

well that i know of, 5 speed, 6 speed, 7 speed, 9 speed, 10 speed, 12 speed, 15 speed, 18 speed, and 20 speed.

there was plenty of sources on the internet last year when the sham trial was going on with the source of the payment backtracking to the DNC and soros.

you post picture of me from last year, and i swear i will give you a "vacation"!!!

you know, air conditioning would make the big green truck that runs now much more pleasurable to drive...

it is not an incredulous accusation. the district attorney flat out said HE WILL BE FOUND GUILTY a month before the trial date was set. and the judge and his daughter were paid 5 million dollars to make sure he was found guilty.

the jury was "convinced beyond a reasonable doubt" before the trial even started. they were selected and paid off to ensure all charges were found guilty
