  1. Bedford, MA Fire Department purchased a 1972 Mack "CF", 1000/500, from FDNY and had it rehabbed by E. J. Murphy in 1984. Murphy built a crew cab with matching doors.
  2. Just curious, Hagerstown is now Volvo Powertrain but the workers are Mack employees and UAW members? What operations are in Jacksonville, FL?
  3. All the "B" model fire engines that I operated ('56 - '62) had 707s and five speeds, the "L" models had four speeds.
  4. Market Basket Supermarkets, MA/NH/ME, is selling this reusable shopping bag with a Mack "Anthem" logo on it.
  5. Market Basket Supermarkets is pretty consistent in its vehicles. For a long time all its tractors were Ford "L" series then it changed to Mack Pinnacles and now Mack Anthems. Its service vans are all red Ford "E" and Transit vans. Not sure if these are leases or company owned. Market Basket is big in eastern MA and southern NH plus one store in Maine.
  6. fxfymn: Any updates on the 1925 Mack "AB" pumper that you posted awhile back? Thanks.
  7. I assuming that the body was built by another company and Ford built the chassis. Like Ford fire trucks, Ford builds the chassis and another company supplies the firefighting body.
  8. One of Nashua, NH Public Works Department's new 2019 Mack "LR", CNG powered recycling trucks. McNeilus body. There are also 2019 "LR" side loader rubbish trucks.
  9. Ogunquit, ME Public Works Department, Ford F-550 mini rubbish truck.
  10. Can you post this on the SPAAMFAA Facebook page? This is an organization for owners and fans of old fire trucks; there must be someone there who needs a parts truck.
  11. VaPatentman: That's the way it was when I started my career but we were a little more advanced, we at least had all purpose masks. Rode and drove the "L" and "B" models. So far, the hearing is still good.
  12. A sharp looking Mack "RB" taking a coffee break.
  13. I worked in an ice cream plant part time in the 1970s and Amaizo delivered corn syrup to our plant. I can't remember what make of truck they used. We received cream and condensed milk from NEMPA out of Andover, MA. They used Mack "B" model and Mack "R" model tankers.
  14. In 1931, the Nashua, NH Street Railway replaced its electric trolleys with new gasoline powered buses. The new bus in this photo looks like a Mack "AB" model. Another post said that Nashua received eight buses in 1931, six Macks, one Studebaker, and one Abbot-Downing.. Credit to the original photographer.
  15. A Mack "RD" honey wagon sitting in the rain. bulldogboy
  16. My fire department had a 1977 Mack "MB"/Grumman pumper, 1000/500. Basic truck but it got the job done.
  17. In southwest Florida most landscapers use four door Isuzus. I did catch this new Ford F-650 in Florida in February, 2019.
  18. The early "CF" models, 1967-68, had that painted grill with the horizontal chrome strips. The full chrome front was on later "CF" models.
  19. An early 2000s Ford F-750 dump truck.
  20. Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker built the F-27 prop jet. Fairchild-Hiller Corporation built the plane in the USA under license from Fokker and called it the FH-227. Boston based Northeast Airlines used several FH-227s on its smaller market routes in New England.
  21. A big Mack (without the "A") "DM" working at a construction site in New Hampshire. bulldogboy
  22. Brings back lots of memories of the 1950s here in New Hampshire. A lot of different companies operated Mack "L" and "B" model tractors and straight trucks. Trucking companies, manufacturers, public works departments, fire departments all had Macks of various models. Wish that I had pictures of them.
  23. I can see the F-600 becoming popular with the fire service. Fire apparatus manufacturers can now offer a heavier chassis but with the dimensions of an F-550. Smaller pumpers are still very popular as first response fire and EMS units. bulldogboy
  24. You might also want to post this on the SPAAMFAA "Facebook" page. I'm sure someone there will know what it is. Good luck. bulldogboy
