  1. 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.
  2. I really like that truck. Great photo too. Mike.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Very neat. Where is it from? I have a B85 Fire tractor like that but no canvas top. Mike
  6. I wold love to have them. What are you asking for them and where are you located? I am in Boyertown, PA. Michael Yarnall
  7. 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
  8. Are you saying Frank Malatesta has nothing to do with trucks or trucking?
  9. Where are you from? Are you looking for an old body for a restoration or a newer style to use?
  10. Is that Wells Fargo truck the one that Dave Zsigmondy had owned that Iowa 80 is restoring?
  11. 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.
  12. If you send me your number I’ll text a picture of my gold leaf. It will not let me post it. Mike.
  13. Air brakes were very uncommon on this vintage of fire truck.
  14. I bought it. It is aluminum. I haven’t done anything with it yet but am going to polish it up and put it on my father’s B66. Mike.
  15. A B73 has Cummins power. A B75 has Mack power. I don’t know what a B77 has but someone else will. The L Model style cab was an option. They could also have the standard B cab.
  16. A lot of radiator shops also do fuel tanks. I use Marko Radiator in Shenandoah Pa. not close to you though. Mike.
  17. I’ll take pictures of mine if I think of it next time I am there. Mike.
  18. Nice. I saw the pictures in your other posts. I have a 1947 85LS and a 1972 CF719. Keep the pictures coming on your progress. Mike.
  19. You might be able to get one at NAPA. Take the old one with you. I had mine rebuilt by White Post Restoration in Virginia. The put a sleeve in them and guarantee them for life. It costs a couple hundred dollars but I think it is worth it.
  20. Welcome to the forum. Let’s see some pictures of your fire trucks. Mike
  21. I’d be interested in the glove box if it is in my budget. What are you asking for it?
  22. Welcome to the forum. Beautiful truck. What is the serial number. My father has 1098 and I have 1379. I looked at a non-restored Harrisburg PA B95F1138 this week that is for sale but I passed on it. Have fun with it and hopefully we will meet at Macungie this year. Mike.
  23. Welcome to the forum. I live in Berks County. Mike.
  24. That’s about an hour from me. It might be a little closer to FWD. I would check it out for someone who is serious but I won’t be buying it. I paid a little more for my wrecker but got a whole lot more truck. Mike.
