congrats on the Mack ,looks to be in great shape,where did it come from and what state is it"s new home, paul romano , in n.h. amd doug jones in va. had lots of mack parts , if you need phones # ,let me know , Spring Melt in Allentown Pa. has lots of parts (april 2016), as for the mirrors you just might want to change the heads.

Anyone have a good cleaning aid for cleaning / renewing dull aluminum diamond plate on a 71 mack cf ?
-
I pretty sure that the original owner was Young America Fire Co. in Burlington ,N.J., they sold it to Bristol Pa., I saw it about 10yrs ago.
-
does it have a real Mack engine? air brakes?orginal Mack body? I came close to buying a R model in N.J., was in a flood had a Scania engine, Howe body and some rust issues, should have got it , I know the fellow that bought it and it cleaned up nicely .

Attention antique fire apparatus lovers, new magazine out called Vintage Fire Truck & Equipment ,I got a copy at Macungie last week and it looks like a winner.
-
their is some that will work I have a green one with the Mack logo on it ,from ebay
-
If the macks went to New Mexico or Arizona the orginal body would have lasted.
-
Macks all the way,look great.
-
I would have been interested in it if had the original Mack body on it.
-
anybody going to Macungie this coming week?
-
we where lucky we had put up a 42 x52 pole bldg. 3yrs. before we got our 54 Mack to house landscape equip., started to get too small so last year we put up another 42 x 60 and connected together with a hallway ,this one will be insulated and finished off on the interior ,to keep the dust off the truck
-
nice looking MC ,did it come from New Jersey?
-
Hi there... new poster/member with a question
609albert replied to local99's topic in Fire Apparatus
fxfymn is exactly correct about you mack, I have a 54 LS 85 ,paid more than I should have, put more money in than I should have,but I would never part with it, it's like my child. but anyhow the body looks like a sedan model (more rare) Mack engines are strong and you have new brakes ,that's good. join spaafam and their is a great muster coming up in june in Jamesburg n.j. (exit 8a on the njtp) I'll be their with my mack , a lot of macks and others on display or pumping. -
Is your Mack gas or diesel, air brakes ,power steering ,etc.?
-
I've been on a few truck committees also ,Mack,KME, etc., Pay attension detail , will look for more progress at the site.
-
on the chrome rails fxfymn on this site, set me up with a connection to get them, good quality and cheap.
-
try Cal Little 717-566-8973 he is in Hummelstown ,Pa. Also John Chambers 717-334-8709 Also try NAPA .I know they are hard to come by ,had to replace one on my Mack ,as I remember they are fine external thread. let us know how you find one
-
Welcome to the site, as you work on your truck make a list of parts you may need and post on the site,many parts are interchangeable with several manufactures especially trucks built during the war yrs. their is really a lot of guys here that have knowledge and locations for parts. good luck
-
I would put a used 237 Mack diesel in it if I was doing it
-
the exhaust manifold I think is actually 3 pieces pressed together. Matt did my '54 LS85 in 2011 ,he has all the equipment ,tools & parts to work on Macks.
-
I see you have the fenders off , radiator supports etc.,how far are you going to take it down?
-
looks like in very good condition, and a single axle ,is that more rare?
-
I have a 54 LS85 (semi-open cab) ,nice parade truck ,but not so nice when weather is bad, my next truck will have a Roof on it.
