CWC Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Hello from Smithville Ohio. I've recently acquired a 1948 EE firetruck that has been sitting in a barn for the past 15 years. Originally from Bethlehem PA. where it was still in service till the mid 1980s. Truck is original, complete and rust free with the exception of the engine which was changed by the last owner to a Ford 300 I6. All It needs is paint and brake work. Thanks in advance for the info I'm sure to find here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWC Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Not yet. Working on it this weekend. Fun fact: the truck came with the original build and delivery sheets from Mack, the original service manuals and even run reports from the fire station it was housed at, which incidentally burned down in 1952 from a kitchen fire. How embarrassing is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmerrill0516 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 That is cool stuff CWC. The history makes the truck come to life in a sense. Scan some of it and post it up here if you have the capability. IT would be cool to see.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
