Frank- There is some debate on this one. This is a Mack chassis. Some, including a former second-generation chief at Union FA-Bala-Cynwyd point out that it was merely a commercial Mack chassis. Boyd put the body together with the Gould pump. Today it would be like an apparatus builder building a fire truck on a commercial truck chassis. Does anyone have further information which can challenge this?

Any Mack fire apparatus reg.numbers?

Firepics quiz!! Guess where this B Mack saw service, guess where it is now, and guess who the 3 owners are?! Winner gets to spend a day with some crazy Democrat.

I won't spoil it by telling either, but there will be a bunch of guys sitting upstairs from it tomorrow night watching a slideshow! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Re: Slide show mafia....



The three individuals who own the Mack B deserve to remain nameless based on the story behind the destruction of the Federal Beacon Ray while backing it into the "substation". Not to mention the fact that it didn't even make last years GAFFA muster just down the road! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/3_12_21.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Captain.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
