    Hello Gentlemen.  I got a C609 but it is missing the Bulldog base and the radiator emblem.  I’m told the base is the same as an LTL so everyone probably has one or two lying around. The Mack emblem is the same as the G model and N model so they have to be really common too.  So, if you happen to have one or both please let me know.  Thanks.  Michael Yarnall. Douglassville Pa.

    Hello All,

       An intro.....   I'm Tom Mack,  I'm the Mr. Fix-it type, who is rather mechanically inclined and also has a associate degree in computers.  I'm weeks away from retirement, Yay!.    I live in the Allentown, Pa area.   I've worked in the electronics industry here for many years, until 2010 when I got downsized.  Then, after being laid off for 7 months,  I got hired at a local company..... Mack Trucks.    I originally started on the production line.  Now, for the last 7 years, I've been in the Quality Group at the Macungie plant (now called Lehigh Valley operations), in a cushy job.  I'm a product auditor.  Basically, I take a completed truck, look it over, test drive it and then submit a report to help improve the production line.  This means getting to test drive a new Mack once or twice a day .  Tough job but someone has to do it...LOL.

    My older brother Jack (( yes, Jack Mack)) and I bought a Mack truck.  We both have always wanted one.  It's a 1957 B85F, and is the tractor portion of a hook & ladder truck from Boston, which then went to East Hampton, Long Island, NY.  and eventually landed in Connecticut.  And was bought as a 15 truck package by a person here in PA.

    As you can see from the pictures, it's needs some TLC.  The engine is free, the wiring is a mess, the body is really nice.   We're not sure about the added on out-riggers. Not sure when they were added.   Plan is get engine running.  Get Brakes working to include converting to spring brakes (want it MAX safe since grand children will be riding in it).    Then, I want a canopy top.  Jack wants 4 doors, which is a long term project that we already brain-stormed. 

    Tom Mack,  The great-grandson of the Founder of Mack trucks.

    Hoping you all could help me find a good home for this truck that has meant a lot to me.  Older restoration. Is in good condition. Has rust at bottom of both front fenders that needs repair I call this trucks condition as parade quality. Cranks and runs great! Duplex trans., Tandem Axles that have Michelin carcasses with caps. Steering tires are virgin. 4 strong batteries, has a few air leaks under dash.  Mack Engine with split manifold so I guess is a 711.  Has Mack Rears with camelback suspension.  Clean interior. Lights and gauges work!  Email me for more info/pictures.  - Located in North Carolina.   FB Market place listing  https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/399434986181764?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A30adb868-d929-4b4b-9c3f-cc80dd1d7bbc

Anyone in here possibly interested. Don’t want her getting into wrongs hands and destroying her. She’s originally from Bridgeport ct fire dept. Runs,stops, pumps. Located in port Chester NY. Drove her to Rhode Island last year for a show 300 miles round trip

    I am sorry to hear that. I at one point sold a couple trucks but now I am back into it. The trucks will always be around. 
     

    I do know someone originally from Connecticut that may be interested.
