1970's Mack R Body Rescues

[Guest]

Hello all I'm searching for some pics for a modeling project.

 

I would like to find Mack R Body Rescues with rescue bodies preferably from the 1960's to 1970's era.

 

There is one I found searching on here from Weedsport, NY, which shows what I'm looking for.

 

You can either post them up here or contact me at dcmkris@yahoo.com

 

Thanks,

The R chassis was popular with FDNY, having gotten 8 between 1967-1979:

1- 1967 ABC Body Co.

 3- 1971 Providence Body

  1- 1976 Hamerly

  3- 1979 Pierce

Swab built a few, the Weedsport/MT. Airy rig is a great example.

There are a couple more on the Hamerly thread.

Saulsbury and E1 would build on this chassis through the 80s, with the last R chassis rescue delivered to Lawnton,PA. by E1 in 1/1991

American Modular (forerunner of Ranger) built a cowl model R rescue in 1976 for Wethersfield, Conn.

Thanks for the information. 

 

That should help narrow down my search a lot.
