On Nov. 1, 2007 may darling wife bought me this rig for Christmas to keep me out of trouble. As promised, this is the first of many pics to be added. Restoration has been on going for three years now, and STILL not complete. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/BananaMan.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='BananaMan' />

Nice Mack!



Is this what it looked like when you bought it? Or is it a current photo?

My 1972 Mack CF - Guest - 08-17-2010

What was wrong with the tail lights?


My 1972 Mack CF - Guest - 08-17-2010

Also I am gonna prolly ask a million questions here. Where did you find the windshield washer resevoir? Mine still has the IV bag looking thing in it.

Tim--First I would like to let everyone know I am a slow typer--The resevoir is off a old Bridgeport ALF/ladder truck that was fried while in for repairs--they saw 4 battery and recharged it with 24 volts no lie---the tail light when Cromwell referb the truck in 1990 they replaced them with strobs-so when I recieved the build spec. from Mack museum I found some replacements and removed the strobs--thanks for asking Fletch
