    I’m interested. Let me pass this along to my father. They are stud piloted? How are the stud holes? Thanks. Mike.

    I’m not a ford guy but that is a pretty cool car. It must be a blast to drive. You are in a whole different horsepower to weight ratio with that. Welcome. Mike

    Most of the trucks in the museum are owned by the museum. There are several trucks are loan at a time for the specific exhibits. Ron’s ED I there and Matt Landis’ DM, There are several Macks owned by the museum at American On Wheels and there are a few fire trucks stored at Schuylkill Historical Fire Society. All of these are worth a visit. Mike.

    I saw this. Not a bad looking truck. The price is ok and not too far from home for me. Unfortunately I’m not in the market right now.

    Here is the D model from behind the mack museum. It is looking for a home. There is a restored D model inside that is not. John Chalmers also has one that is pretty rough. Mike.

    The AC started life as a fire truck/ ladder truck. It was later used as a bar in Boston. There was a great article about it in Double Clutch. It got a different chassis and a dump bed. The nickel plated grab handles are fire truck equipment. Mike.

    That’s awesome. Great picture.

    The green B42 that sits outside was bought at an auction in 2017 for 20,000. That is the most I have ever seen a B42 go for. It was nice, but not that nice. Now it sits outside. I don’t think the guy is worried about money.

    I am told they are great engines. Not a huge amout of power and hard on gas but strong. They were used a lot in the fire service. They would sit and idle forever when pumping. The major problem I have heard was breaking manifolds. I am told it is the same block at the 673. I'm sure there are many who can give you better information than me. This truck looks better in the picture than it does in person. Mike

    It also has a short eared gold dog. It is a very nice truck in person. I think the restoration is only 2 years old. Mike

    I like this one too but it must take up a lot of shop space.

    Thanks. I send my father the link so he could get a matching Superliner. He said the RL almost caused a divorce so he would hold off. Mike.

    My father bought his RL712LST from them. They are in Lower Lake CA. I have never met them but am told they are very nice people. Mike.

    Dennis said I could have this truck if I came and got it. I have to do that. It looks a lot worse though Mike.

    I wold love to have them. What are you asking for them and where are you located? I am in Boyertown, PA. Michael Yarnall

    I believe their L Model weighed 47,000 when it was scrapped. This truck is a little light but not too much. I read my notes about this company last week. I was planning to write a story for Double Clutch but never got around to it. Mike

    Are you saying Frank Malatesta has nothing to do with trucks or trucking?
  20. yarnall
    Where are you from? Are you looking for an old body for a restoration or a newer style to use?
  21. yarnall
    No. I do.

    Is that Wells Fargo truck the one that Dave Zsigmondy had owned that Iowa 80 is restoring?

    I had a discussion with someone about this who had some documents with Mack that had conflicting numbers. There were 14 CF719’s built with the twin turbo 864’s made. I have number 12 and the other guy has number 9. His documents show that for the fire service it was boosted to 350hp. I bet there are more than 10 running examples left since I know of third surviving CF and Tom has one in his R719. As for non-turbo, my F715 is on it’s third or forth. The first blew up on the first trip. It went right back to Mack to be replaced. Mike.

    If you send me your number I’ll text a picture of my gold leaf. It will not let me post it. Mike.

    Air brakes were very uncommon on this vintage of fire truck.
