Juan Lopez Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Hi, I habe been looking for a mack 45s fire truck. We use to have one at our fire company but it was sold in the 60s and lost then. Here are some pictures of the model to know if someone have some information of where I could find one to bring to Chile to restore. As I know, ours was stored at a warehouse during all WWII un the Us, and was discoverded in 1950 and sold to Santiago fire department, with other 2 fire trucks of the same model. Thanks.

mowerman Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Certainly a hot looking number good luck I’m sure you’ll get lots of response thier lots of them around…: but shipping is going to be more than your purchase price…. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I know of one that is not in great shape.I am near Philadelphia Pennsylvania. What is you budget? Have you thought about shipping. I assume it would cost several thousand dollars to get a truck from Chile. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Lopez Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Thanks. I am not sure about budget, but It will depend on the condition of the truck and some fund rising with my colleagues. For the shipping maybe it can be transported inside a container, because it is not a big truck, but I am not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Yes, it will fit in a container OK!! But another thing you will have to check on is with you Chilian Customs people as to what they will let in and how much of an inspection they do?? I am assuming that on an antique vehicle there will NOT be any emissions restrictions problems? Off the top of my head contact Tony Champion in Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia as he has imported many trucks from the USA and should be able to advise you on the questions you will have to ask of your customs people to see what hoops you will have to jump thru???

Yes. Customs is an issue, but as a collection truck and/or for fire fighting I think there are some waivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 If this will help,, from what I’ve seen a fixer upper will only run a few thousand so all your concerns will be the transport ….. I’d considered selling my DM a couple of times ,,,, kind of the same issue…. All the prospects are On the other side of the county…. Transportation $$$$ lol bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
