  1. Wow- looks pretty good to me...good rubber, cab looks intact, same with dump Faded paint is an easy fix😎 Good frame?
  2. Yes-but don't those designations you cite specifically refer to a Mack produced fire truck? Mack chassis and Mack produced fire equipment. Nothing would stop a fire department from specing a B-61 and shipping it to an apparatus co. Just thinking-I do believe the C series Ford was the most widely used commercial chassis for fire trucks during its long production run. I wonder if any N series Macks ended up in fire service?
  3. ??So no B-61's went to Pierce, Farrar etc as commercial chassis?
  4. Hah!-waiting for the customer that needs a 28' box!
  5. The good news is he is well. The bad news is he is very busy. Hopefully he will soon see some light at end of tunnel and we will benefit from his views.
  6. Just decided its pointless to hit the "like" button. What is NOT to like???😎
  7. If you go to You Tube...4142M Concrete Mixer Truck (2019)...there is a video that shows the steps/grab handle system. Steps are all perforated so they are not "mud/snow" catchers. Looks pretty good-for a LCF. And there is even a guy attempting to explain things in English!
  8. No connection- your Sterling cab was an earlier generation Ford Cargo cab. I don't think there is anything in this cab that is a carry over from that early Cargo. Not that any LCF has good cab access/egress vs a conventional😎
  9. Looking at that truck says to me the Europeans haven't discovered the huge advantage front discharge mixers have over rear discharge. Rear discharge has its place where on a big project , the mixer backs up to the hopper on a pump truck and drops the entire load.
  10. I think they have a lot of well placed grab handles if my memory is right. Of course never seen one but have seen quite a few videos
  11. Well the MB is better..less height for your ass to fall from😎
  12. Courtesy of KSC-delivered in Spain
  13. If you haven't listened to this yet, tune in. He nails it IMO

  14. I do believe that was the primary reason-hit something like a deer at 55 MPH!
  15. When I sit in an L cab I say..."and what was the advantage of a B cab?" Oh yeah-it was more aerodynamic!
  16. wasn't C -600 same BBC as a B-67?
  17. Very good Hippy-this describes the situation we are in. I always said the economy we had going when Covid hit would come roaring back on its own the minute the lockdown was lifted. Well the idiots in power sure "fixed" that natural recovery.
  18. Nice Rich-see you in AM.
  19. I assume we will gather at Watts at noon on Saturday to document our aging process😎???
  20. No clue what the breakdown is but assuming the 17.5 rate at 80,000 and say a MPG figure of 6 that translates into an added cost of $1.05 per gallon! Brilliant! to say nothing of the administrative cost associated with tracking miles and filing
  21. Hippy-we can only hope. Can't wait to see how he handles his meeting with Putin.
  22. Well you and Npoppop will also then remember Adley.."A Mighty Servant That Never Sleeps", Wooster, Holmes, St.Johnsbury. Whites?-how about Shusters.
