Not full-width shutters indicates it might be a Scania? If so, too bad.

Most all of the R611F (fire chassis)  had that narrow shutter set up for the rad and all came with 250 h.p. Mack with 5 speed.

250 Mack, eh?  Well, that's better.  Thanks for the info, those are great pics.

What did that F originally mean? Firetruck?

Fire truck such as R-611F, MC-685F,  CF-688F.

Some fire truck builders would buy a commercial chassis from Mack and build it up so the VIN may start as R-487P (single axle straight chassis) for example.

It doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
