I'm with you 1958 f.w.d. ,been in the fire service since 1963, we lost a group of great guys that day ,we pray for them and their families.

yarnall ,I talked to you at Macungie last month, hope you can bring some of your apparatus to the national muster in Pennsauken /cherry hill n.j. ,I'll have our 54 LS their

markanello ,what is the history of your C mack , how did it get to phoenix ,ar. I have visited alan brunicina and his 52 L mack 2 yrs ago when in phoenix.

hi Charlie ,hope you can help fireflem with parts, someone posted pic's from Macungie and their was a photo of a 'L' with an articulated boom and basket on it ,it must of came late Friday or Saturday but I didn't see

it ,kind of ODD. AL

Is it still in service?

my 1954 LS85 only has 3 and it is a 750 pump , you may have gauge(s) for your booster reel(s) ,I'll be at the SPAAMFAA national muster on aug.3 ,plenty of mack going to be their

loadstar, what size pump do you have with all those gauges ?

wow !that was a pretty good crease in the fender, did a nice job banging it out, lead ....what is that ,but that the correct way to do it, I used to do lead work in the electic utility industry,mostly wipeing up to 7'' lead sleeve, after I retired they stopped doing lead work ,all crimps and shrinks now.

here is another mix that I have used Rustoleum mix silver ,light gray, and gloss white mix in even proportions , also you can clear coat for better protection. If you just use silver it will rub off on your fingers after drying. just try the 3 mix on a steel sample and adjust to your liking

bring it to the national muster at cooper river park in Pennsauken , n.j. aug3 2013 also you can join the cradle of liberty antique fire assoc ( check the website) we have a lot of mack in the group and it is a great source of info and help

nice photos , the cradle of liberty antique fire apparatus is hosting the spaamfaa national fire apparatus muster aug 3 2013 at cooper river park Pennsauken n.j.

Charlies correct about brake lines ,on my first parade after getting our 54 mack one of the steel brake lines corroded in half ,nursed it home ,luckly I was local, the rubber lines are available at nappa.

is the fuel pump for sale, looking for a spare

looks like you have a rectifier (most fire trucks had them) to balance load from Lights,siren etc. I know they sometimes burn out, try Ebay for a replacement or a starter /generator shop in your area. hope that helps

as fxfymn said join a club , if you had L' and B' knowledge you are valuable , if you just like them that's great too. we are having the national muster at cooper river park in Pennsauken ,n.j. on aug 3 ,2013 ,will have many trucks their( I'll have my totally restored LS85 their).

paul : I eye balled the step plates today , looks like a match , can't wait to polish them up. would you have a fuel pump for a 707 (1954), also if you send me your e-mail I'll send a photo of the mack. AL e-mail hinoki22@comcast.net

hi paul ,bought some items from you on sunday , the 2 mack fender plate steps (hope they fit) and some other items for my L mack that previously owned by pete j. I'll keep in touch . AL

you really have to check out NFPA rules on apparatus replacement to be certified usually 20 years.

I would be interested in the fuel pump, what do you want for it?

hey bigrigclassics , if you need the '85' for your 'L', cal little makes new ones ,he is in Hummelstown pa.

sounds like an april fools joke to me.....!!

maybe the spring melt in Allentown, also I had some mack stick-on decals made from a guy ,had the bulldog with fire helmet and mack logo like the orginials ,I used one on my 'L' on the dash over one of the gauge spots

the rear fender step plates you have ,will they fit an 'L' and what row will you be on?

thanks for all the info, I'll probably go with a trophy shop to make up new plates ,only need about 10 pieces

anyone know of a company that would reproduce the aluminum name plates on a pump panel

i.e. PUMP TO TANK, OPEN, CLOSE, BOOSTER REEL , PUMP PRIMER , etc.
