the 57 was B85F-1270

1203 was a pumper for Belleaire, TX 1217 is a pumper for Pepperell, MA 1218 is a pumper for Bethany CT. your 1211(and 1209 and 1210) were tractor only jobs. the page you have is just B85's in that small sequence of 20. There were different registry pages for each of the different type apparatus(and and all trucks) built by Mack.

just saw this thread. the card didnt populate right side up, but it had a factory 500 gallon tank and a Mack TR722 5 speed transmission when new.

Ex Bayport, NY

you have the Ex Chanute rig?

the engine in the top photo is at latest mid 1951. at that point they changed the hood trim from three slat to two slat and the bulldog on all L Models. some prior to mid 51 also were done that way. .

yes...

it was built as a pumper solely by Mack... it originally had the gas motor... Original to Schwenksville, PA... it was the last E model shipped in 1949, 12-30-49. They were a Mack department right outside Allentown.

B85F-1185 was original to Lawrence, MA

what is the serial # of this truck?

B85F1028 is original to Marblehead, Massachusetts. at one point is was marked Essex County.

again, please do not repost these photos

this is your rig taken outside the firehouse. every building visible in the photo has since been torn down. please do not copy this photo and use on any other forum.

it was originally Ladder 31. Grundy was the 4th department to operate it. It went in service as Ladder 31 on 6-25-73 replaced on 4-28-82 and made a spare. disposed of in 1985. bought out of the Navy Yard by Chesterfield County, VA. then sold to Petersburg, VA then sold to Grundy VA. the slanted cab roof was done by Baker at the refurb in 1985. there is no shop number on the front drivers side corner of the rig. that did not start until 1978. They did put it in the cab though before then, either on the drivers door above the serial # plate, or up and behind the drivers head on the cab separation wall.. in 1978 it was standardized to be up there and on the cab front(and on the rear as well.)

Rockville had 4 this is one of them.

do you have a pic of your truck? any idea where it served?

you can buy the rig at auction from Copart. goes to high bidder, whoever they are. collector, scrapper, whoever...

holy crap! thats it!

why would you need contact info for something that has already sold? its too late...
