    was the Fire Body built by Mack in Allentown Pa.? are you on the west coast or was it original to a west coast fire dept.or co. ?
  2. 609albert
    the Hall -Scott where used for high pumping ability because a Mack engine in that time period was not large enough, used mostly on the west coast fire depts.. I HAVE A 1954 LS85 Mack 750 gpm pump but if a dept ordered a Hall -Scott because of the larger engine the hood is actually 11'' longer

    very neat, I studied the photo closely then read the buy line and was set-back to see that it was in fact a model, it does look very real

    horn button not the problem, horn bracket too much paint ,not grounded , filed paint off ,FIXED
  12. 609albert
    are the rotors moving when you turn the engine over ? I think actual any coil might work to start temporary . also Macks work on a positive ground system
  13. 609albert
    what is the trick to remove the horn button on the steering wheel on my 1954 'L'model ?
  14. 609albert

  15. 609albert
    Do you still have the LS 85 Mack? don't know about the head liner but someone should be able to help
  16. 609albert
    I think it might be a telephone line crew truck ,does it have a bed winch or a power take off on the trans? the area your in looks like the mid west ?

    I had 900 x20 on my Mack fire truck , almost 2 years ago I also wanted to get rid of the split rims ,I had one rim that I know was really rusted and dangerous ,(my truck is a 54 yr) I switched to Dayton rims and 1100x 22.5 radial tires (Chinese). what a difference in the ride. If you can consider new rims too
  19. 609albert

    Harvey Eckart has written a few great books on Mack fire apparatus with lots of great photos & info. Also Walter McCall did a book 'Fire Trucks of the 1950's. The real giveaway that your mack was a fire truck is the bumper design.
