There were a total of 13 CF's made with an open cab. 12 engines and 1 mid-mount aerial ladder truck that went to Riverdale MD. New Kensington had the ninth open cab engine made. Delivered in October of 1970. Serial # CF 685 F(10) 1166. It was refurbished by New Lexington in 1991. The fire body from the pump panel back was replaced, as well as the booster tank. It was New Lexington's first refurb, not a good job. Connellsville, Fayette County PA had the last open cab that Mack built. It was a 1974. They had a total of 3 open cab Mack's, a 1969, a 1972 and the 1974. It is the only open cab Mack still in front line service as far as I know.
