The last Mack CF firetruck comes home

[quote name='Chief66' post='132130' date='Jul 22 2007, 17:08 ']Those are the original wheels with the addition of half moon cover insets over the center.



If any of you have Harvey Eckarts fine book, "Mack Fire Apparatus, A Pictorial History" the rig is shown on page 150. I took that picture in the fall of 1984 and could never imagine that I'd own the rig 23 years later. But you could say that I've had my eyes on it for a long time.



My first job out of high school was as the assistant to the Mack Fire Apparatus Maspeth (Queens) Branch salesman who covered all of Long Island and Westchester county. Let's just say I drove and delivered a lot of CF's in those years. In the 1970's the Mack factory branch in Queens handled all the FDNY and lower NY regions, so there were always 30-40 Mack's around the shop and yard.



Those were the days, a new CF coming in almost everyday.[/quote]





My old vollie house had a few CF's in the 70's. Ya may have dropped one or 2 of them off........



Be safe, Brothers.
Kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out. NEVER forget 9/11/01 WTC, Pentagon, Pa. Avenge the acts with NO mercy.

Thanks to ALL the Brothers who were there 9/11/01 and afterwards. Words can never say what appreciation we have for you all.
