Not sure of the exact year and model. My father was a newark, n.j. fireman and was assigned to this engine company and drove this mack. I down loaded these pics from the website www.newarkfirehistory.com ,they showcase a different newark fire apparatus every week.

Fire 413,

Thanks for posting these pictures, that is a great looking B model mack. From the body and air filter, it looks like a 63-66 B model, it has the full compartments on the rear body and what looks like a diesel air cleaner. Also very rare in the east is the Budd type wheels. Any ideas where that truck is today?

Those pics are from the 1960's. I believe it was a gas job. Newark had a few b-models in their fleet. Not sure where that truck is today, probably was recycled in a scrap yard many years ago, when Newark gets rid of a rig its usually pretty tired and battle-weary after a long hard life. Here are a few more pics of this mack. Also Newark has a b-model that was recently fully restored and is used as a caison for funerals and parades. It was never actually saw service for the city of newark. It was owned by a westinghouse factory fire brigade in I believe Harrison, N.J. I'll post some pics soon that I have on my other computer
