fxfymn Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Model years are OK, but the chassis number is the real decider. I'd like to know who has the lowest chassis number out there for the different models. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

jaysm35a2 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 I agree, the chassis number would be nice. I have a question , for example the F model. How many did Mack build a year? And would the chassis number read like "F607T00001" for the first one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaysm35a2 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Thank you, how many R's, U's , B's, did Mack make a year ? Has to be well under 1,000 right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Thank you, how many R's, U's , B's, did Mack make a year ? Has to be well under 1,000 right?There were over 127,000 B models produced so I'd assume a bit over 1000 per year. As far as R models, I read someplace over 430,000 of those produced over 35+ years of all variants.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

mackr400 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I have A 1970 R487 I will get chaiss numbers soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Remember every model designation started with 1001: B60T1001, B61T1001, B56T1001, B66T1001, B67T1001 and so on. Some models were only built in certain years. If we have a bunch of SN 1001 we should look at the delivery dates from the Mack Museum. It is easier to have low serial numbers with fire trucks because so few were built and so many survive. I have B85F1098, 55S1039, 405A1002 and 85LS1101. The A model was the second 405 A made, but they also made a 505A, 45A, 55A and so on. I also have H613T1001. It is the first H613 of 3 made and the only one to survive. It is a 1956. Some other low serial numbers B66T1118, B66T1194, B46T1350, F715T1340 and R686T1243. I saw a mack with the serial number B61T1000 on the plate on the door. It was a fake. The serial number was ground off the frame rail. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaysm35a2 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Just by the serial number of Maddog's R model , they had built about 2,000 more R609's than U's by the year 1966.Yarnall your right, we can go by the build dates if it comes down to it. Got a quick question , whats the diff between the R607T and the R609T from the same year?Im updating the list and makes a nice database also we can all compare to.

jaysm35a2 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Ok I understand now a diff model number would mean diff engine. Thats why my 609T has a 711 Thermo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
