  1. I would love to know if the folders for the Mack CF pumpers the city had in the mid 70's were still around. I have info on serial numbers and info on assignments, but no way to put the two together accurately.

    Ok, I talked to my boss Chief McGrath. He retired from Philly as a Chief, so I filled him in on the conversation here on the forum. His father worked on the engine that run out of the station( I think Eng30) and he played on L20 as a kid.

    I am sending him the pictures posted here. He filled me in on the property number. Tags and titles were not used. They used 6 digit numbers to identify the piece of equipment. The first two digitals tell the year the truck was built and the next 4 digitals identify the unit. He also said it was painted on the truck in atleast for places.

    If you go to Phillyfirenews.com the pictures in the forums it show these numbers painted on the equipment even today.

    He knows for sure that Harry Magee can help. He is a 5th generation Philly FF.

    In those pictures your right that white number has to be its property number. He also told me that they have an officer that is responsible for all apparatus, and that he was sure that many of the old folders on these trucks still exist.

    Cant wait to learn about what you find out, as he cant wait to learn more about your truck. He was so exicted to know that it still existed.

  2. got a serial number on the donor truck?

    Thanks for the help ! I will send in my donation and #s . It has a Mack diesel in it. We have had the truck for at least 30yrs . The cab was so bad we really didn't do much with it. My brother came across a old mack fire truck with a cherry cab, hood,and fenders on it, so now its time to get this project under way. The truck was my Uncles my Father and I did some work for him and the payment was this truck. It was a great deal for him. That was 30+ yrs ago my Father is now 78 yrs old and I would like to get this truck up and running with him. It would complete a life long dream of his to use this truck to haul his old tractors to local shows. So the push is on. I will try to get some pictures and more info on this truck. Thank you again for your help.

    thanks for the kind words. My Mack MB/MC/MR databases far exceed the one on Youngstownfire. much of the info there came off my early list that I gave to Bill Friedrich. Rikers had the P4 for Riot Control, not for firefighting.

  5. Hello everyone,

    I am Michael Martinelli, and I operate the website fdnytrucks.com I am a huge Mack fan, and have a collection of several thousand images of Mack Fire Apparatus. I also maintain a large database of all types of Mack fire Apparatus. I just found this site today, and already added a serial number to the Mack C database, which was Bridgeton's ladder. I had the info, just no serial to go with it.

    is there a database somewhere on these boards? If not, if anyone has info on their rigs that they want to share, I am always looking to add info. if I have shots of your rig, I'll be happy to share.

    thanks!

    Mike Martinelli
