Mack CF

According to my fire truck book by harvey eckart, the type 45s had Continental 290 or 330 CI, 103 or 123 L head, about 544 of them were built.

908 fire trucks with the B chassis

Try resizing the picture, you can do this a few ways. One is transfer the immage to microsoft paint. Simply "select all" and shrink the photo size by grabbing the corner square that will come up with the dotted lines, then resave. Thats how i do it.

They are all one guys collection, theres a total of 700 vehicles plus, Sealed bids are due march 22nd for the first "auction" The first set of cars will go on auctoin Memorial day weekend. And then the rest will happen in september.

Thanks, i should be getting a truck the end of the year, im not sure what i want to do yet though... money is a huge part in this too..

The only other b model is a work "block truck", thers a lot of macks fire truck wise... Ill list what i can remember 42 E model, unk MB 600, 69 open cab CF, 69 CF611, open cab c95(hell of a stack) c85, c 85, c85 c95, c85, Theres a few R model work trucks, cement trucks, a boom truck (twin stick) I immagine these will not go for much, the reseve is 100 dollars per ton (scrap charge)

uhh... no comments? Anyone?

Ok, so i found a B model Quad pumper that will be up for auction soon. now seeing it, the cab area isnt in the greatest of shape, including the chrome nose on it and bumper. now id love to save this truck more than anything, so how much of a pain is it to restore a truck like this? And how much money. Hers a few pictures http://photobucket.com/albums/e74/Felixthe...nt=IMG_1104.jpg http://photobucket.com/albums/e74/Felixthe...nt=IMG_1106.jpg http://photobucket.com/albums/e74/Felixthe...nt=IMG_1063.jpg

Thanks for all your help so far!

Would a volt meter be able to pick it up if the battery is draining?

Thanks, the truck does have a battery switch, an A-Off-B set up... i think theres a short somewhere in the truck and the power trickles out somewhere. thanks for help

Im not exactly sure, all he told me was that when they throw new batteries on it, their both dead within a day. I assume it comes from sitting, but im not 100% sure. I guess all possible scenarios would help. If they died while its running, it would be a problem within the generator/alternator. If they die while its sitting, im not sure.

hi, the mack im looking to buy has a "slight" electrical problem, im not really sure what it is though. Its a 1966 B model mack. What happens is whenever a new set of batteries is thrown on the truck, they die within an day. Its been sitting due to this problem and will be up for sale around november, and its my only real chance of getting a truck. Anyone know what kind of problem is causing this? and how much it could be to fix. Thanks alot!

ive seen B models go for a range from around 3,000-10,000. hearing from the condition of the truck, id say 5,000 ish might be good? Pending on how much restoration it needs and if it runs. Find out if it pumps and if the tank will hold water if he wants to pump with it.

I would love to attend that, please post pictures of the macks! Thats a really nice and clean B model you guys have. harvey is a good guy and his newest book is great. Have a good time at your parade! My god thats a really nice truck, is it a gas motor?

How much would one of these run? And how easy would it be to drop one in, lets say replacing an ENF707c Gas thermodine. Thanks

Yes that is true... i want a 66 B model with a nice loud turbo diesel in it... mmmm yesss, unfortunatly macks dont come so cheap

I saw both thoes episodes... its crazy how bad that dumptruck exploded.

Well... next week i was going to go pick up a CF 600 for 1500, clean truck runs real well... anywho today i just got news that there was an electrical fire inside the cab of the truck. So i guess this ends my little adventure of actualy getting a truck.. I was trying to find a nice open cab B model mack fire truck for cheap... im not sure..

Goin down sunday and checking out a 1971 CF 600... if she runs and is in good condition shes coming home with me What should i be looking for? Also ive never really driven a double clutch before... this should prove interesting.

from 1966 to 1990, at least on fire apparatus, if it has a gold bulldog its equipped with the maxidyne motor, which really gives it more horsepower and torque, ideal for hills and such. Thats what i belive i think... the silver bulldog is any of the other optional motors.

Hey, i made a photobucket account and posted ALOT of fire truck pictures, please check them out, theres page for mack also. http://photobucket.com/albums/c215/Felixthecat102/ Tell me what you think.

What are the specs? id love to see pictures of it
