This R Model was a 1972 bought new by the Mercer Road Volunteer Fire Company of Butler, Butler Township, PA. It was the first fire truck I remember as a kid, my dad becoming chief a few years after it was bought.
The story was this was the next to the last gas Mack built (I don't know if that was fire Mack or any Mack) and off the top of his head 35 years later claims the serial was R608F-10-0235, though looking through the board it maybe 1235 and not 0235. The rig was in service until 1992 when she was replaced with a 92 Pierce Dash that shows up in another thread here, after it left Station 6 he never heard of it again, though by then he was the township FM at that point and not a member. I know there are some folks that have lengthy lists of Mack serials and dispositions - anyone know where she ended up?
