Heres a question about old plates......In my state (MA) you can use a year of manufacture plate for antique vehicles...while I was looking for a 1953 plate I noticed that there were different year plates with the same numbers on them. So in some states did you have to turn your plates in every year??????? Seems like a big hassle...

Seems like there's more to this story Maddog....let's hear it......

Those are nice!!! Especially the bottom one.... I saw a show a while back..... I think it was "Chasing Cars... they were at an estate sale of collector who had tons of car and motorcycle stuff.... What surprised me the most were how much the old license plates collections brought.....Big dollars!!!!
-
That certainly is cool looking!!! Hope it finds a good home
-
Thanks Charlie and Carl..... The picture is one of four off my truck...All the same.....came on my "L" model from the factory. I'm guessing anyone that has a 1953 or newer must have to same?
-
Here's a question for guys with a newer "L" model......Do your hub caps look like this? I met a guy the other day who mentioned that most "L" model hub caps fit on the inside of the hub.....instead of the outside....I'm guesing like a "B" model?
-
Are you sure he should mention Randy???
-
Sorry for your Loss......sounds like he was a great guy.....its nice that you had something in common to share with him. -
Paul, You mentioned there are two mack engines from the estate......Any info on the other one?
-
Thats a Good Idea......cheap money!!! Hope they sell soon...Very Tempting!!!
-
From what i've seen the books are a great resource.....Just don't have any yet. Should have the "L" model book on its way from Harvey soon. Certainly didn't mean any disrespect. As far as the CF from Newton....I have no idea where it ended up. Anybody know if they got rid of it and when? They had a C model as well ....and a couple other older trucks they got from other towns. None of them were at my station so i didnt get see them that often. Good department and I worked with some great guys.....but Boston traffic gets old quick!!!!!
-
Boy that sucks.....From the pictures online it looked like a really nice station. Nice the way the other towns around seem to be stepping up. It has to be tough for a small town to recover from something like this.Heres a link to the clip i saw.... http://www.wcax.com/story/23105563/blaze-at-fire-station-was-intentionally-set

Congratulations!!!! Very well put about being a parent......couldn't agree more. He looks like a feisty one!!!!
-
Yes it was Newton......I've seen the books...... Just figured that guys who owned a particular truck would have the best information on that model.....Things that maybe weren't written in a book.... Thanks for the replies

Looking for information on the time line...... or evolution of Mack fire Apparatus..... Models.....years built....Production numbers.....E.t.c....Particularly the "L"....But Interested to find out about all of the models. Still have a lot to learn....for instance i never knew how rare Open cab CF's were until reading a post here recently.... I use to work for a department near Boston that had one....I think.............That was awhile ago.........Thanks.......
-
Looks great......Nice work!!!
-

WANT TO BUY "85" grill tag for L model fire truck
Loadstar replied to Loadstar's topic in Parts Wanted
Thanks Carl, The one I bought was fine until the sun got to it on my dash at Macungie. Thats when i decided to find the real deal or leave it the way it is . As far as price I would certainly pay more than i should.....The tag is pretty much all the truck i have is missing (except for equipment).
