    I'm not sure, should have looked closer when I took the photo.

    I saw this Ford F-8 V-8 tandem axle truck parked in Woodstock, VT. I didn't realize until I posted it that it has a 1948 - 50 hood on a 1951 cab.

    In Harvey Eckart's books "Mack Model B Fire Trucks" and "Mack Fire Apparatus, A Pictorial History", Mack built about 50 "B-405CF" 500 GPM and "B-475CF" 750 GPM pumpers for a military spec. They used a Chrysler 354 cubic inch V-8 Hemi motor. A few were sold to civilian departments.

    Pepperell, MA's 1957 Mack "B"85F". The large diameter reel was a later addition. It is still owned by the department. I used to go the the musters in Pepperell, Groton, etc. Got to pump the Warren hand tub, all hands were needed. Must have been a lot of work fighting fires in those days, probably why there were so many conflagrations.

    Yes, they're still in business. In 2024 they moved from their 14,000 sq. ft. building to a larger 35,000 sq. ft. building in Watertown. Business is good.

    1984 Mack/Ward 79, 1500 GPM pump, 100 GWT, 4,000 feet of 4'hose. Rehabbed by Gowens-Knight in 2007.

    Not all fire apparatus had canvas roofs. We had a 1947 and a 1949 Mack "Type 85F"s with semi-cabs and a 1946 American LaFrance 85' tractor trailer aerial ladder with a semi-cab. They were naturally New Hampshire air conditioned all year.

    That would be too bad about ending the 650/750. I'm seeing more of them around this area even among fleets.

    Is the Ranger in Australia the equivalent of the F-150 in the U.S?

    We had five "B" model pumpers, this one was a 1957 "B-85F, 750/500.. I don't know the serial number. I know, without pictures it didn't happen! Mack Truck delivery photo.

    At the same time that Pittsburgh was running the Brockway/Maxims they also had similar engines on Mack "R" model chassis.

    I can't imagine driving that 1925 from Argentina to Cortland, what a trip that must have been. Tough truck, tougher firefighters!

    When I was a kid (1950s) there was a series of books about trucks and other equipment. I can't remember the name but they featured actual photos. The fire truck one had a picture of Grosse Pointe Farms, MI Fire Department's Mack "L" model quint. I can't find a picture of that truck anywhere.

    A nice fall day, October 9, 2024, on Mt. Washington, NH. We left the base station on the Cog Railway where it was sunny; got to the top and it was snowing with a wind chill of 12 degrees. While there were no mountain views at least we got to experience a little of what its like on the mountain in winter time.
