    One of only 13 in existence. Our esteemed member fdnymackcf just bought one of them which is on the left coast, trying to figure out how to get it to the right coast.

    I like "F-Model Macks" and "Cabover Enthusiasts" among others. I also started my own group called "FWD Fire Apparatus and Trucks." We have a little over 200 members- the list is long and distinguished like my johns........never mind Also many antique firetruck pages on there too. Tons of fine people that go out of their ways to help one another find that elusive part or vendor. Yes facebook can and is a pain in the ass and I know why many folk of the older generation have a particular disliking and contempt for it. However there are also many fine groups and people that you meet on FB that make it a worthwhile experience.

    I dont need valet parking with the FWD. Parks wherever it wants to, on TOP of whatever BMW, Mercedes or Lexus it wants to!!!

    Ken: if this wasn't a mortgage AND auto insurance week I prolly would. It gets pretty damn hot inside that cab though.

    Told Vlad to look for the nekkid guy driving the FWD.......And that when he got in the cab, dont grab the wrong stick.....

    Ok now you're making me feel bad, I told everyone I'm not bringing the FWD due to the mileage and the 3.5mpg thing (that's a conservative estimate by the way.....) it's 65 miles one way from my house. And yes, we installed seatbelts in the FWD for the little guys- somewhere I have a pic of TWO car seats strapped in there. Right now small is the only one still in a car seat.....Fitting small, medium AND large in there along with daddy is fun...NOT especially on a hot august day like last Saturday. Once again when you leave stick to the right-hand lanes of 676/76/476 and when you see the burgundy streak and hear the horn that's me.....LOL

    Thing better be immaculate, that 3208 better be fresh and an allison automatic behind it for $6000......Other then that the guy is on some pretty intense drugs and he needs help for his problem.

    Ken, saw this and thought of you......Not necessarily the Packers reference although that is kinda funny too.......
  11. 1958 F.W.D.
    You want to do what to my wife?
  12. 1958 F.W.D.
    Take heed, Jimmy......Cheapest is not always best......Maybe you could get someone to drive it outside of California and Mack mhe9 might be able to load it up from there???? Just a thought.

    HOLY CRAP CARL!!!! They had motorized fire apparatus back then???? Just kidding.....That is awesomely cool!!!!! Did you try to send her a PM???? Maybe her email will notify her that she has a PM?????

    Correct. You would need to swap rims, however finding a good used set would not be difficult and would not break your wallet. Hell even finding a set of good condition aluminum rims (dont forget longer studs) for a decent price could be done. So very worth it to get the improved ride you would get with tubeless radials. At the very least, you are insane if you dont go tube-type radials.

    This is one of only 10 open-cab CF Mack pumpers in existence. 9 were pumpers, one was a mid-mount aerial that was enclosed. It is still around I believe as are at least three of the pumpers that I know of. Jimmy, since it needs tires, and you are sinking money into it anyways, look into getting a decent set of used tubeless rims and converting over to tubeless radials- it will do wonders for the ride and also are less maintenance intense of course.

    If you have to ask, you can't afford it. Neither can I for that matter. Denny you finally figured it out!!!!!!!
  17. 1958 F.W.D.
    Well, these ladies from the 1940's & 1950's fell out a time-space continuum/wormhole and were asking me for directions back to 1955. I told them I didn't have a DeLorean with a Flux Capacitor but I have this dandy of a 1958 F.W.D. that would go 88mph if you loaded it with rocks and pushed it off a high cliff. They told me they were from Winfall and were working their way through Nun College- imagine that....All those fine Nuns being edumacated in Winfall, aint that somethin'.

    Would you be interested in hauling a CF Mack pumper from Los Angeles to Long Island, NY for our esteemed BMT Brother fdnycfmack? He's looking for a quote.
  19. 1958 F.W.D.
    Forgive me I suck with names...Folks, who is the guy on here with the white superliner that has a dropped deck flatbed???? Need for him to pipe up and maybe help out fdnycfmack with a quote for shipping from Los Angeles to Long Island, NY.......
  20. 1958 F.W.D.
    Jimmy, Randy Yardumian here.....Check with Slpwlkr (Randy Moyano- he's on Facebook too) about shipping. Although that's a tad bit small for his liking perhaps he might be of assistance if he's stuck out on the west coast in the future with no eastbound loads. He could also tell you what fair prices are to ship it.

    Is this for Ashland, Ma. Fire Dept???

    These parts are not exclusive to Mack. The ignition parts are most likely Delco-Remy, and any good (old-school) parts house can more than likely still get them. Spark Plugs- Champion or Autolite, check with any distributor, can most likely still get them, they are not rare by any means of the definition. The wire set you would probably have to make up by hand from a spool and new boots and clips. Brake hardware is more than likely all obtainable from a Bendix source. You'll have to take the drums, shoes and brake cylinders off and take to an old-school parts house that sells Bendix and match up casting numbers.

    Western R-Models? You have my attention..........
  24. 1958 F.W.D.
