waukesha Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 This is a circa 1945-50 Mack Type 85(?) pumper for sale. It is in Bloomington, CA. It is not mine, just trying to get the word out about it. The seller wants $800 for it. I do not know if it comes with a title. Important: This truck can only stay on the land where it presently sits for a few more weeks. After that it will most likely be scrapped. I know next to nothing about Mack fire apparatus, so the model number and year range are merely guesses. The radiator, front bumper, and a few other parts are missing. This a follow-up to my post from about two weeks ago concerning a two axle, day cab, G model cabover that was for sale--and also in danger of being scrapped. Luckily, I think we have found a buyer for that truck (knock on wood). That G model and this pumper are from the estate of the late Bernie Long. I meant to put this up sooner, but it takes me forever to do anything. I will do another post or two for the other remaining vehicles. I don't think there are any more Macks left besides this one and the possibly the G model. Feel free to comment or PM me if you have any specific questions. --waukesha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogboy Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Can you post this on the SPAAMFAA Facebook page? This is an organization for owners and fans of old fire trucks; there must be someone there who needs a parts truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowrench Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 WOW what a challenge it would be to restore that truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waukesha Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 Thank you for the suggestion, bulldogboy. I see there are a number of SPAAMFAA-related pages on Facebook. If I can be added to the official SPAAMFAA page and/or the one for the CA chapter, I will be sure to post this on there. And I agree with you, Prowrench--this thing needs a little TLC to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
