here's a link to the apparatus from the Heidlersburg Fire Company, aka "the dog house". Once the 2008 Granite tanker went into service, all of our apparatus, with the exception of our Squad (a chevy 3500), are Macks.

HFD Apparatus

Hey all,

I'm Jared, from Aspers, PA. As long as I can remember, I've liked Mack trucks, probably because my dad has always had an interest in them. When my grandfather drove truck, he drove B, H, F and R model Mack's, as well as some other makes. My dad currently drives truck for my uncle, but unfortunately his truck is an IH Eagle, although he did drive a Vision for a few days when the IH was out of commission. My interest in old iron started when my dad and I restored our 1948 John Deere M a few years ago when I was 16. Since then, I've acquired a few garden tractors, a 1950 John Deere MT, and an IH K1 pickup, which I will probably be trying to sell soon. I am a volunteer firefighter with the Biglerville and Heidlersburg fire departments, and love it. Once my dad bought our MB 400, I figured this would be a good place to come for advice and information for when we get into doing somewhat of a restoration on it.

I shoulda put this in the original post, but forgot about it when I typed it up. The plan for this truck is to shorten up the wheelbase, and we're gonna use it to haul our 2 John Deere's to local shows. My dad wants to paint it JD green, but I personally want to paint it the color of the trucks at one of the fire dept's I run with (which happens to have 3 Mack's):

that truck would have the EN414(Chrysler 413 V8).They made 325 MB410's from '63 to '70.Yours would be the 133rd built.

thanks for the info

Not bad looks like a good solid truck!!does it have the 475 Mack motor? or Scania? PS wait till dark,if you can still see the truck it worked at T.M.I. Ernie

we havent' had a chance to really look it over, but the former owner said it has a chrysler gas engine. and no, it doesnt glow at night

Recently my dad purchased an MB 400 that has been sitting a mile away from us for who knows how long. The former owner believes it's a 1968, and rumor has it that it used to be a water truck on Three Mile Island. It runs and drives good, just gonna need some tlc. I've looked all over the internet, and haven't been able to find any resources as far as manufacturing dates or anything, so if anybody could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated
