    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.

    looking at the pump panel there is a lever to engage the pump from Road to Pump, about the front fender right where it comes down toward the tire if it is rounded on the side I would say it was pre 50 ,if it is more straight I would say 50's . like said previously my # is 1709 . also with the wheel type I would guess it came from the west (budd type) as the spoke was more popular on the eastern states

    some LED lights will operate on positive ground , to test if they will work use a 9 volt battery ( we used to call them transitor radio batteries ) and switch the leads . I did it on my 54 Mack fire truck clearence lights

    does your Mack have air brakes? if so you could have had air horns, I have a LS85 with the stock single electric horn, I did add a small air compressor and installed air horn behind the front bumper
