fdnymackcf Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Sounds like someone know Mister Lerch!!! LOL He's a great guy.Yes, Sir. But i don't have a direct line like a fellow firepics.net member. But I covered the bases. Asked Mike and I'll call Jack as a backup. Quote If it ain't a Mack, it ain't Jack!!!!!!

FDNYTRUCKScom Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I looked at the shots I have f E305's R model and their 79 CF. the body appears to be identical from the pump back, with the exception of the fuel fill door. there was a 1970 CF Ex-FDNY for sale in Arkansas a couple of months back. buy that one, remove the body from the cab back and put it on this chassis and you have a pretty good match.

FDNYTRUCKScom Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 and now that I look at the 1970 CF that E253 had, the entire rig from the cab back is identical to the 1969 R models. the pump is identical outlets, gauges and fittings all in same place on both rigs, everything, including the fuel fill door. get that 70 and you got a nice ride!

yarnall Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I looked at the web site and the R model is a canopy cab. It only has two doors. http://www.firehouse.com/apparatus/10645519/5022-engine-in-town-response. Pretty neat looking truck. I like their chevy brush truck too.

mackman1965 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Back in the day construction companies would roll up downtown and start digging up the streets for the belgian blocks and had no problems so i dont think taking a rusted out hulk from an abandoned property would cause a stir .

markanello Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 After seeing that FDNY R model hulk I don't feel quite so bad about my FDNY C85F any more!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
