1958 F.W.D.

32nd street sounds like Bklyn. What happened on Monday?

Well done, Sir!!! Sounds like you're moving into a pretty good gig. Where at on Staten Island??? Oh, and dammit I thought we found everything in the barn.......But gearhead's thong is still missing come to think of it.......

My pictures of the week month however the hell often I post them. Saw this James D. Morrissey (a big Philadelphia area contractor) Mack Titan with an old Euclid on the deck. Coincidentally a facebook friend saw it, and as it turns out one of his buddies had purchased it. Saw this lovely 1948 Ward Lafrance firetruck that was originally delivered new to the Bryn Athyn Fire Company (Montgomery County Pa.) Had a 140GZ Waukesha (F554G) You probably shaved with this truck last week. I made dinner for a beautiful girl a fraction of my age. She liked my food so much she couldn't control herself and had it all over her. I saw this vintage 1971 Lambert snowthrower almost get runt over by a vintage 1958 FWD. Luckily I stopped the guy in time. I saw this guy hitchhiking. Even though he looked like an axe murderer I felt sorry for him standing at the side of the road so I picked him up. I offered to get the guy a bite to eat so we stopped. He was talking to someone one his phone, it was kind of muffled, but I remember distinctly hearing the other voice say "Mini Mack." Thats when axe murderer got this crazed look in his eyes and he got up and started mumbling "sloooooooowly I turned.......inchhhhhh by inchhhhhh.....step by step............." Then I saw this girl. She offered to wash and wax the FWD. I told her to look at what she did to the bumper on that GMC and that she couldn't go near the FWD. I saw this picture of some kid when he was about 10 or 11 years old standing in front of a Jevic Freightliner. They had 3406B 450's with 18 speed Roadrangers. The kid's dad took him on a Texas run in this particular truck pulling a 48 footer with tastykakes out of Philly- bunch of stops in Nashville/Knoxville, Huntsville/Mobile and emptied out in Dallas/Ft Worth. The kid remembers it like it was yesterday. One of his first really "long" trips. I don't know what this is all about.......... Saw this FWD with a Budd cab........

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT? CAN'T YOU AHOLES SEE I'M BUSY????? Oh. Sorry. No you cannot see me through the interwebz, At least I don't think you can. Or can you? To answer the question: Not in the immediate Philly area, however there is a gentleman I know that I believe was considering or already pulled the trigger on renting a warehouse I believe in the Reading area and was looking for fellow firetruck owners to go in with him. If you are interested signify by posting an appropriate response below and I will contact the gentleman and find out if he did it and if there is room for more.

Four years ago I needed a new pair of feet tires for work, my Red Wings were absolutely shot. They had been resoled 2-3 times but the leather, stitches, etc was beyond hope. I had been a Red Wing "Made in the USA" customer my entire life. I was in a panic because the sole had separated and I needed a new pair pronto so I went to the Red Wing Store, In my couple of year absence things changed- 1/2 of the lineup was all made in China.....WTF?? But the salesperson assured me that they were just as reliable as USA made Red Wings and they would honor the warranties no questions asked. I was skeptical but I needed a pair bad so I laid out the $165. Here it is another 4-5 years later and these held up pretty well. There was a warranty issue involving ripped fabric lace eyelets that they replaced with metal ones- no questions asked. After 4-5 years of being worn at LEAST 5x a week (sometimes 7) for 12 hours a clip, these held up pretty well. I dunno though I'm still pretty peed that they were made in China. Starting to need a new pair, might look elsewhere for a pair made in the USA.

Baby Mack.....Is that like a Mini-Mack? (ducks..........)

You just have to know where to look.......They're all over Winfall!!!!!!!!

I would have to concur. Unless if the thing is as clean as the day it came off the factory floor and showroom ready, and all of those Mack components are freshly rebuilt with documentation to back them up. It still makes me horny though.

Hatcity already took one!

My 1958 Model F-725 750/500 sold for $19,975

That doesnt make me a bad guy!

You thought this was a Winfall Wimmin post, didn't you??? Sent to me by a friend. The thought alone makes me want to touch myself like Hatcity's Vinny Video.....

They misspelled "Snap-On" on that hammer.

Brockway......Isn't that a Mack with lock washers?

OD if I come to your house and trick or treat I'mma coming for steak or piggy on your grill. Maybe some hot sauce, too.

I can imagine trick or treating at Hatcity's house..... "GET OFF MY LAWN!"

My neighborhood really lives it up for Halloween. It's a very festive event here. All of the adults drag the lawn chairs out to the sidewalks or sit on the front steps of the house, and hand out candy to the goblins. Some gather on their frontyards and light up the grills and cook burgers, dogs or whatever in what is usually the last cookout of the year for them (my grill gets used year round, even in the falling snow...lol) The wife and I walked Large, Medium, Small and Extra Small around for their candy but we played a game- I filled a flask with some of Mother Russia's finest, and every time we saw an "Elsa" (the ice princess from Disney's newest movie Frozen) you had to take a nip. Flask was empty in 45 minutes and wife was walking sideways. A neighbor's yard all decorated up Another neighbor who treats kids to a book of their choice instead of candy SWMBO with Extra Small in a snuggli carrier

Capt406, give me a list of what you need to replace what was stolen (nozzles, fittings, adapters, appliances, ladders etc.....) and I will see what I can do to help you out. Have you contacted local scrap yards to tell them to keep an eye out for Fire Department equipment and ladders? Are you on facebook?

I say yes. I understand the frustration of being outbid- but that can happen whether it gets posted on here or other internet savvy folks out there locate your find and decide they want it more than you do. Thats the world that we now live in. I for one enjoy seeing the finds that are posted on here. Many are also posted on facebook in various truck-related groups.

I have .73 and some lint in my pocket..........

Oh cry me a river......Try the FWD with the 7-mile long hood, no power steering and a powered steer axle........I keep a tube of Ben-Gay in the glove box for my arms......LOL

I like the Century-Series American Lafrance firetruck. Even if it is powered by the Devil. Thats ok an E9 300 would drop down in there very nicely.

OUTSTANDING!!!!! Love me some Hayward trucks!!!!!
