Andrew & Mike,
This is just an amazing site. The amount of info on here is beyond believe. This is all I had on that piece:
1947 Mack, Type-75, cutaway cab roof, semi-cab, 750/300, delvd 12/47, housed 6/18/48. Sold in 1970 ?
Can either of you fill in the dates on where it went ?
Who ownes it now and where ?
Many thanks,
Bruce

After some quick research, this was Wilson's Mills first fire truck when they were 1st formed, bought used in 1972. They paid $4,000 for it and sold it in 1981 to pay for newer equipment. In 2002, It was located in Lumberton,NC sitting in a field and they paid $600 to get it back. In 2006, the truck was restored by inmates at the Piedmont Correctional Center in Salisbury, work that was paid for with $18,000 in donations from firefighters and community members. It is now owned and maintained by the Wilson's Mills Fire Dept. Source:Wilson's Mills website
