DC11 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 I would have to see if we have any paperwork on the truck to check the serial #From what i'm being told, (and i could be wrong) they only made 5 of these into fire trucks with the budd cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 well if that is it,it belongs to a friend of mine here in Iowa. He bought it as a cab & chassis out east somewhere,NY I think. He's just about got it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1958 F.W.D. Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hey Tim, this is Randy Yardumian, we worked together at Engine 69..... (IIRC you were on the B Plt.) Jack Sassani just posted a good pic of that the other day sitting in front of the station which I copied and posted onto another thread here somewhere that was discussing Mack forums. I am pretty sure I have heard that there were approx 15 "N" model Mack firetrucks, I am going to ask Harvey Eckert (a renowned Mack historian) how many there were- unless Mike Martinelli knows and chimes in here.

DC11 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hey Randy', you worked with my brother Tom, he is the chief of Croydon Fire. were inquiring about the truck with hopes to find it and get it back, that's why I posted a pic when lost creek had it last. Any help to know its whereaabouts if its still around, would be greatThanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Only 5 N models made by Mack according to Harvey's book, but I'm sure other builders used the N chassis as well. I know the Hicksville, NY light plant/squad got turned into a delivery truck by Tidewater Mack. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!
