Your Mack is a classic ,the molded in roof lights are one of a kind, how could anyone scrape its twin? I would love to see the Mack when you get it done,where in pa.are you? (MACK Capital of the World) -

Their a fellow in PA. that reproduced the Mack brackets for taillights call Cal Little in Hummelstown Pa,(near Hersey) 1-717-566-8973 that is where I got mine for my 54 LS85

Thank for the info, when I get ready to change I'll go to the dual master cyl. the hydovac on my 54 LS85 is a little different than yours.,wish I had air brakes sometimes too. You did a nice clean job on all your upgrades.

my dept. was all volunteer 20 yrs ago now we are a combo, of course they joined the union, they call themselves professionals so now I call myself a career volunteer, I have a LS 85 open cab Mack and only one of them could ever think of driving it "whats that other pedal for"?

the years of your fire trucks would not have the trim piece that I would need, thanks anyway

would you have the center brace that attaches to the windshield and top of the dashboard ,this windshield is the later type that had chrome trim around it. the brace was wider at the bottom and tapered at the top.

It is actually a rectifier my LS85 pumper has one and the many I have seen have them to balance voltage. -
