Truck 9 at Blackstone is this 1971 Mack CF that had a rehab in 1988. 75' with CF608FAP1142. It originally served Cherry Hill, NJ and was then sold to Avery, North Carolina. Blackstone purchased it from Avery in 2003. Prior to red and white, I believe it was one time lime or yellow in color.
I am told this is the Mack that Corgi did their model from. I am sure there is some additional history on this truck - does anyone have photos of this Mack while in service in either Cherry Hill or Avery?

Great picture Mike, I'd always wondered where this truck got off to. It used to be "9900" for Avery County,NC serving as a county-wide piece and was kept in the basement of Linville VFD's station. I think Dave Organ has an in-service shot of it as 9900, this rig was sold before I was into apparatus photography.
