Have a good time at your parade!My god thats a really nice truck, is it a gas motor?Yes the B75F has a gas ENF464 which is a 464 with special dual distributors and extra water cooling manifold on the right side. Standard 464 was 175HP the ENF464 firetruck engine (1 of 54made) ran only on premium and has 200hp.Hopefully we will have a good showing of all the L model-CF Models in the tri-state area.

Firemack Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 Parade UpdateWe now have 126 trucks registered, out of that about 25 are antiques- and we should have about 10 B model firetrucks- Including a B85 Fire Tractor, B95 Ladder, B85 Sedan Cab from Minnesota, B85 Closed Cab, B75 semi-cab, and several others- I expect around 10 B models. Harvey Eckart is judging the trucks and we plan to take an aerial shot of all of the B models together, which I will post on the site. If you know any B model firetrucks in PA, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey let them know we are looking for a good turn out!Thanks FireMack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
