nice truck, but it didn't have any gold on it ,I guess it was done with the intent of selling it and letting the buyer do the gold to their liking.

the orginal macks had a positive ground system ,check if yours is still connected that way

welcome to the site, wow nice looking rig, looks like it just came out of a museum

Hey down under, FIREMACK gave you all the correct info about the mack models, Also their are 2 great books by harvey eckart ,Mack fire trucks 1911 -2005, and MACK model L fire trucks ,lots of photo's & info. try amazon.com for the books. I have a 54 L (last of 15 produced). their where lots of mack fire trucks sold to fire companies in PA.,N.J.AND N.Y.in the day. and as FIREMACK said contact the MACK museum in Allentown, PA

Harvey also has a great book on 'L'model mack fire trucks, it is out of print but you can google or go to amazon.com to find it, it a great book

yea that was a really neat movie( video's where not invented by then) the trucking industry has really come a long way , wonder what happened to all the old rigs, it was a trip by in time too .

Hi all my fire truck guys : anyone have any info on the 100th anniversity of mack fire trucks, dates ,location ,etc.

I know exactly what you mean ,the 1st mack I had (47 semi open cab) .It had 4" round mirrors ,couldn't see anything, put new chrome mirror heads 5x7 on the arms and made a great improvement,sold that truck when we acquired a 54 mack LS85 it has junior west coast mirrors on it which we added 5"convex mirrors to the brackets . to go with the west coast mirrors you'll have to adjust the bracket a little to fit the top frame of the door which is open(just use 1 brace at the top of the door). You shouldn't have a problem. For the new mirrors try AW DIRECT (www.awdirect.com) or goggle truck mirrors. also if the truck is judged ,most will not take off points for safety items. If want to see a really neat LS85 goggle hoot gibson 52 mack. good luck

yes ,as the previous reply thats the place ,also check with cal little in hummelstown pa.,(near hershey) for a bell,I hear he has a lot of mack fire stuff.

anyone out their had an experience changing over their mack fire truck to electronic ignition, where to purchase, is it worth the expense, hard to do,etc.I have a LS85

Hey firemack ,would you happen to have a taillight bracket for a mack ,left or right ,I think they are all the same and cast.

I would bet my 54 mack pumper you have a hale pump,made in conshehocen pa. their is a guy in hummelstown ,pa.(near hershey) that I hear has a lot of mack fire truck parts for sale,I think his name is CAL

are they split rims on your B are did you change them? if so too what?
