Engine 5-4-3, Lampeter, PA 1969 Mack CF 1000/750 #CF611F-10-1161

According to Harvey's book, there were 3,849 CF chassis built, but he doesn't state how many were all Mack and how many were completed by another builder. The same Model designation format was used for the CF as was for the R model. There were two series for the CF, based on frame size, the 600 and the 700. Most were CF-600's, with only 112 being CF-700's. Mack's MB/MC/MR series tilt cabs were much less popular for the Fire Service, with only 1075 total units built. The MB was introduced as a commercial chassis in 1963 and the Fire Service version did not arrive until 1972. From 1972 through 1978, only 319 MB's were built. The vast majority of MB's were completed by other builders, primarily Howe Fire Apparatus. The MC/MR replaced the MB in 1978, with 756 MC custom fire chassis being built through 1990. The MR was never built as a custom fire chassis, but was often used by other builders. Again, the same format was used for model designations.

To further clarify the info from Bulldogboy, I have gathered more info from one of Harvey Eckart's books on Mack fire apparatus. Mack built 381 R Model chassis specifically for the Fire Service, the last of which was in 1990. This number includes those completed by Mack Trucks and those completed by other manufacturers. Those completed by Mack will have a model number of R6??F- (the ?? indicates which Mack motor was used - 08, 11, 12, 85, 86, 88, or 90), followed by the 4-digit production number. Those completed by another builder would have a model number of R6??FC-, followed by the 4-digit number. If there is no "F" or "FC" in the model number, it is simply a Mack commercial chassis that was built into a fire apparatus by some other manufacturer. In addition, there were 23 Model R487F or R487FC fire chassis (Scania Diesel) built, beginning in 1972. When production of the R Model ended, over 210,000 had been built, with a mere 381 groomed for the Fire Service.

Mack Trucks groomed chassis for the Fire Service until 1991, but the Superliner was never one of them. Those in the Fire Service are simply commercial chassis adapted by whichever company completed the apparatus.
