looking for a replacement for my rusted Safety Rim Ring on my 54 Mack LS85 pumper ,fits on a spoke type hub, tire size 900 -20

what actually does camel back suppension look like .photo please

that is a sin what happened to the 'L'Mack

yes the 'C' model did have an air assist on some of the trucks ,not very smooth like regular hydraulic power steering

met him once ,not very friendly, oh well

and then again it could have been tank fill source

did the Mack have a pump? rear photo has a 2 1/2 gated discharge  

close the windows & ear plugs, guess it will come out of hiding one day

wish I could help but my pole barns are filled right now. the going rate is about $125. I'm told in south jersey.

I agree with my friend  FXFYMN  also check for any cable(s) that a chafing (rubbing ) on the body/frame.

Is your 54 a 'L'  or a'B'  my 54 is a 'L' last of 23.  did you try NAPA ?  also Matt Pfahl  in CT. 203-266-6455  or cal little 717-566-8973 in PA.

     wait a few days cause both are probably in Hersey ,Pa

I always like the R model apparatus ,Is it for sale?

try going on the FIRE APPARATUS section most antique guys just go to that site, I have a 54 LS85 (Florence,N.J.  ) maybe you have seen it at Jamesburg muster. I think you truck must be a flat head.

looks like GULF colors

the Cradle of Liberty Antique Fire Apparatus Assoc. muster is Aug.6,2017 (Sunday) at Cooper River, Cherry Hill N.J.  10 till 3pm (no regristration fee)

try to contact  Harvey Ecghard  ( the author of several Mack fire truck books)

Also try Cal Little  in Hummelstown Pa.  717-566-8973   he can rebuild it and has parts

I think you don't need a CDL if it has antique regristration ,in jersey anyway.

It cost $115. plus shipping $10. media blasted ,all new internals ,2 mounting gaskets.  turnaround was 3 days too,I'm happy

what type of primer and finish coat id you use?

Not in service since 1994 in N.Y. state

Wow ....20K plus shipping ,must have been a collector

I took the fuel pump off ,sent on Tuesday to Arthur Gould Rebuilters on Long Island got it back on Friday morning ,totally rebuilt back on the truck in the p.m. and running, took some cranking to get the fuel to the pump from the tank ( we cleaned the filter bowl out so the line was empty back to the tank.
