Here ya go. Lester X-Eng 251 was a 1968 Mack C 750/500.

Thanks a million Joe! Yes, both these Mack C's came from Palmyra, NJ. The only thing was you had the years switched on the rigs. The first pic was the '64, and the second was the '68. The way to tell them apart was the '68 had the front intake. The '64 was sold in 1978 when Palmyra purchased a new Mack CF engine, and the '68 was sold in 1984 when Palmyra purchased a new Pierce Arrow engine. I remember the '68 well, it's the rig that started my love for Mack C's. Palmyra got rid of the '78 Mack, along with their '75 Mack CF Heavy Rescue, in 1997 when they purchased a new Spartan Rescue Pumper. The '83 Pierce was also sold around 2001-2002 when Palmyra took delivery of a new Pierce engine. Not sure of the later dates as I had already moved to NYC.
Anyone know where the Mack C's wound up after Lester?????
