Yep, although 2.5 may be generous. it does get about 100+ smiles per mile though and several time that are my own. I think that is why it has a 250 gallon tank and 1500 gph pump, so you can drive to the next gas station. Sure is fun though.

58' Mack Model B-21, fully enclosed cab, production number 010 originally ordered for Seattle Fire Department number 246. 1,091 ci Hall Scott engine, 350 hp, and 1,000 lbs torque at idle. Beautifully running engine! 5 speed Mack transmission, 1,500gph pump, 250gallon tank, 82,000 miles, very solid, rust free truck. Partial restoration done by Seattle fire department in 1982 including upgraded air parking brake, and 110v converter. Needs paint, and a place to store it in, runs and drives great. Excellent candidate for shows or parades. Only 9 of these B-21 were ever produced, of the 9 produced, only 6 trucks total came with the 1,091 cubic inch Hall Scott engine. Exceptionally rare old truck that I am posting here before posting anywhere else. $12K OBO

This truck will be going up for sale soon.

its a long hood for sure

I am putting 010 up for sale to a good home soon. I will get something posted up in the for sale section. Now that they are both up and working, I don't need two even though I like having two.

just have to say the sound of 1092 cubic inches growling is amazing, I cant get over the thunder this makes. it is very unique. We had crowds around every time it started up. it drove amazing.

this was a fun day as the Mack did great, but my 48 chevy was having temp issues.

Ok, I am back, fell of the internet for a while but I have been working. I actually have them both up and running, driving, stopping, Maintenance all caught up, and man what a ride. My son and I ended up taking old number 9 to the good guys car show in Puyallup Washington and showed it there, as well as taking them down to car shows in Kent and Auburn, what a bunch of fun. I will post up some pictures in a few.

Sorry I fell of the map, I have been working on lots of stuff lately including both B-21's and forget to get on here and let you all know how things are going, I will update more info in my original thread.

I know this is an older post but can anyone help point me in the direction of where the bleeder valve is located? I cannot find it anywhere protruding from the unit in the truck. do I need to disassemble the unit to get to the bleeder?

Mine were both Positive ground. How did I know? Since they came that way, I checked the diameter of the cable post, and they fit positive post to the grounded cable, negative post diameter fit the starter side cable, so I knew that was how the last battery was installed. Not really sure there is any advantage to switching it over unless a guy was determined and really wanted to go to all the trouble. Maybe I would do it if I was going to install lots of modern electronics.

Ok, here is the finding of the truck and pulling it home, with first start up and drive. longer video with the surprise at the end. My son did this video for me to share with all you Mack guys. He wants to do more of these and we have lots of work to do still.
