    I will have to look into the paint code for you. I believe its a PPG epoxy paint.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    Fortunately we had original paint under the pump gauges we were able to color match to.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    These were taken this past May as the truck was almost done with sandblasting and body prep. Just got the call today that the old girl is in the paint booth and almost home! Doing the wring should be interesting. thankfully we did allot of labeling and photos before taredown.

    Yes please do! We made a plate and a baffle for now to keep the gasses flowing out. Just had no damn clue where the other end of the rod goes. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    Which museum did the BG end up at? I certainly could use some of the parts if not check them out to try and duplicate.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    Been a while since I posted on this thread. Figured I would give a quick update. Our BG is off getting painted at the Concord Jail here in MA. Here is a picture from last years fourth of july parade. Replaced the head gasket after water was dripping from the exhaust manifold. Runs like a top! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    For some reason I doubt that was produced in 1933. I would check the chassis records on that. Wouldnt that be a bulldog from the 20s? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    Old Iron Expert, Is that radiator of yours for a early B, like a BG or newer B Model?

    I ended up buying one from ETSY. Generally Called a battle Lantern. Here is our refurbished version.

    I wrote this some time ago wih no response, but still hopeful someone might have an answer. This rod was connected to the exhaust manifold, which when moved would pre-heat the gas/air mix in the intake manifold. Does anyone know where the other end would have gone? The only place I can find that might work would be onto the throttle linkage, but that seems obsurd to me. If anyone has any knowledge of this system, please let me know. Thanks again for everyone intelligence and help getting the old girl up to snuff!

    Here is another question to all the Mack Folks, This is a rod that connects at one end to the exhaust manifold for the pre-heater baffle, redirecting exhust gases into the intake. The other end has been detached, and letting the rod flop around inside the engine compartment for as long as anyone can recall. Where does the other end attach to that indicates "On-Heat-Off"? The only place I can think of is on this brass piece of the accelerator linkage where this spring is. But really to the accelorator linkage?

    Anyone have an idea as to what the torque spec might be for the valve covers? I looked through the shop manual and could not find any indication. I believe when the manifold comes back to the welder, a safe torque of 40 lbs should be adequate. Thanks again!

    Well I have not posted in a while and I thought I should provide an update. A few of us have taken off the exhaust and intake manifolds. They are currently at the welder being repaired for cracks and broken flanges. Attached are some pictures of the current state of the engine compartment. I am starting to put it back together with all parts cleaned and painted. The carburetor is all cleaned up nice inside and out. Thankfully we were able to save the old gasket, since trying to find rebuild kit for a Stromberg SF-3 does not exist. The gaskets from Olsen's came in and we ready for the manifolds! I will post some pictures of the completed carburator later. I figured I should put pictures up since not to often someone posts pictures of what is under the hood.

    Well this piece is still owned by the fire district. Since the Mack turns 80 this year, myself and another guy on the department are going through it to make it a nice piece for parades, funerals, etc. I have this thought in mind to try and get it mechanically solid before something goes totally wrong, or the wrong hands try to fix something they have no clue about. Its been a great research challenge. Hopefully we can get a paint job sooner then later. Apparently it was painted in the early 70s. Sadly all of the gold stripping is covered. But, to me that is stage two. Tires will be necessary soon, since they are rather dryrot. It seems no one wants to touch split rims these days. On the side I have been trying to determine what came with the truck. So far so good. If you know of any images of what those Mack extinguishers I would greatly appreciate to see it. Also, trying to figure out what tools came with it. I see some posts about what came on the Bulldog models, but not any relative to the early Bs.

    As promised, here are more pictures of the Mack. We have installed the magneto and it runs good on that system alone. The electric lantern came in. I gave it a good cleaning and a new coat of paint. Tooled new leather straps for the leather handle since it was well beyond repair. Have two B7 type batteries coming form Interstate Battery next week. I have also included images of the pump suction caps. you can see that one of the handles is gone. The oil bucket is there and a extinguisher. Sadly not one of the originals.

    If I only had the time to get down to PA this weekend! Too much to do prior to a cruise.
