  1. Harvey is the authority on mack fire apparatus ,well respected and author of several mack apparatus books.
  2. Nice looking truck,but the first thing you gotto do is cut the roof off the cab..... just kidding ,I have a LS85 1954 last of the 'L's ,oh open cab of course.
  3. just saw a news blip on the Fire/Rescue site said fire started near the shoreline (charging cord into a truck).
  4. looks like the mack didn't get damaged thank GOD ,I saw the video of the fire ,looked like a lot of damage , but I'm sure you fellows will pull together and rebuild and improve your station.
  5. I believe in Harvey Echard L model book their is a photo of a semi open L with a back seat. If you could dream it, MACK would build it.
  6. hi Carl, I can't wait to see DR.Mikes GMC when it is done ,what a project.

  9. Anyone have any knowedge on a mack 475 turbo diesel with a 5 speed manual trans(in a fire truck, R model) .Is it a good engine ,any problems etc. ?
  10. the orginal Roto Rays rotated much slower than the new verisons ,my fire dept .has one on the new ladder tower ,was a $22OO.OPTION and they do get the driving public Attension. Also back before even the Roto Ray lights ,their was the Exhaust whistle ( a device placed in the exhaust pipe before the muffler ) I have one on my 54LS85 MACK and it really screams when operated.

  16. I have a 54 mack with the 707 gas engine,I was told to use 15w40 motor oil ,should I use a detergent or non detergent type oil ?
  17. that's a great looking truck ,hope someone grabs it, if it was closer I'd take a look at her.
  18. At that price I think he's going to keep it.
  19. Are these tail lights on a cast bracket and are the lights in a chrome housing ,the lense was round and the outer plastic ring was reflective. I also tried to locate this type of light for my 54 mack, I think they where a Dietz brand ,couldn't find a decent set. If any place to find them it might be Macungi Pa. truck show.
  20. a diesel mechanic told me not to use ether, but instead use WD 40, it works
  21. also that's a nice pole building you have , we have a 42x52 Morton and are in the process of putting up an addition 42x60 for more MACKs of course.
  22. just wondering if BECK built the Cinninatti cab.
  23. yes ,I saw it looks kind of beat and I would like a good fire body with it, not many around.
  24. Don ,you are the authority on the C models ,I meet you at the summer convention in n.j. , I'm still looking for a R model pumper to go with my LS85 . Al from n.j.
  25. don't know where your macks are ,but we need someone to start a national registrarty on at least the macks
