1958 F.W.D.

Wait.....First gearhead....and now YOU? I might be being a bit paranoid here but I think this could be a conspeeracy!!! Hatcity pass the Reynolds please......... And "glopped"- is that a technical term?

The Summersville Goat AND a chrome stack on a grill........Now I've seen everything and can die a content person.

Well after what happened at Macungie this year my wife says I'm not allowed to hang out with you anymore anyways........Something about a "bad influence" or something like that????

About 5 miles from Exit 44 (Quakertown/663) of I-476 (The Northeast Extension of the Pa Tpk.)

There is a 99.99% chance that both the wheel cylinders and the master cylinders are NOT OEM Mack parts- that they are most likely Borg Warner, Bendix or Wagner. Take the cylinders and the master cylinder to an old-school NAPA parts counter- NOT one of these new fangled chain stores, The older the school NAPA place, the better, and the older the guy behind the counter, the better. Drop them on the counter and say "I need rebuild kits for these or new units." Here is the key: DO NOT TELL HIM WHAT IT IS OFF OF. MAKE NO MENTION OF A C-MODEL MACK. THAT WILL ONLY CONFUSE THINGS. Again: old-school NAPA (or another place....old school!!!) drop parts on counter- "get me these." If you walk in and it's a young kid, ask for an older guy. If there is no old guy, and the kid goes to the computer first, turn around and walk out, go somewhere else. (My 1958 FWD Firetruck has a 1957 Ford master cylinder for the clutch slave cylinder. There are both rebuild kits with stainless steel parts and new units available through Wagner.)

May not necessarily a Mack part.....Could be Horton or any of a number of other Mfr's.......

I know this is late, but who is going to the John Haines IV/Hoppenville 2014 show other than myself and that Mini-Mack guy? Anyone coming from Jersey on I-78 wanna get off at Hellertown/Bethlehem Exit 67 and follow me in??

Ex Pittsburgh, Pa. One of two I believe. This isn't the one that wrecked in (texas?) is it????

I am happy to report that mack mhe9 has once again come to the rescue of one of my firetruck comrades who needed a 1970's Century-Series American Lafrance pumper moved from Indiana to Belvidere NJ. He originally called some guy 2-3x who always promised to "call you back after I do some research and run some numbers." This was earlier this year. Well my buddy in Jersey got a call about 3 weeks ago and got word that the truck has to leave ASAP. So he called that other guy one more time and got the same old "call ya back." That never happened so he heard that I had a guy in my back pocket from 3 of my other firetruck buddies.....So I gave him Ray's number and with one phone call Ray had him set up. My buddy couldn't be happier!!! This makes the fifth or sixth move that Ray has done for friends of mine and each and every one of them are tickled pink with him. I'm gonna become his broker if this shit keeps up!!! Ray by the way I just gave your number out tonight to two more buddies- one wants a tillered ladder truck moved to Va from Tx.....Dunno if that will fit on your trailer though, thats kinda long....And may put you over 80K....... The other one is easy- a pumper from the DuBois Pa area to the Cincy Ohio area.

I wish I could.....As far as the money goes, I can't buy something with money that I just do not have. The Mortgage company just has no sense of humor when they don't get their monthly check. As for no storage, I stored the FWD outside for about 3/4 of a year one time in it's life....Even with a good quality RV cover, she still suffered. I will never commit that sin again. Plus I l live "in town" and storing a truck outside just is not an option.

Hmmmmmm looks awfully overweight for them axles to me......Whyn't you pull over here and let's just see what there is to see with my handy dandy gen-yoo-ine Smokey T. Bear Junior DOT Man Accessory Set.

Very cool!!! Congrats on your nostalgic find, it looks to be in outstanding condition! If I had the money and a place to store it indoors, I would find a single screw Hayward F-Model like the one my old man owned when I was a youngling.....and rode in the right hand seat for SO many miles...............

You tease!!!!!!

That just about sums THAT up.

If it's an Air Research Turbo I might have one or two. Verify your brand of turbo first though.

According to wikipedia (about as trustworthy as a truck driver CB story- but the Wikipedia link did cite multiple credible sources in the bibliography) Lipe was swallowed up by Emerson Electric (Emerson Industrial Automation) and several clues lead me to believe it was to get the Rollway line of bearings. I have sent their customer support folks an email. Not holding my breath. In the meantime anyone have a 2772 fork laying around?

OK thanks fellas, with your help we are 99% sure it's a Lipe Brown clutch, however they were bought out by someone.....Was it Fuller? Does anyone happen to know???

Green: That's my old man.....LOL......

Hmmmmm the label on the pear? peach? says California......when did you move?

American Bosch or Robert Bosch? There is a difference and Mack used both!!!!

An all-original Hayward.........If it is as in good condition as in the pictures and has been as well maintained as the guy says it is.....I say at LEAST $8K. Keep the Daytons. An original Hayward is rare enough, but a Hayward with Daytons is a special kind of rare.

"Ok Sir, that was for one double-occupancy room, did you say you wanted pole dancing or non-pole dancing?"

WTH do sammiches have to do with anything? Peanut butter and jelly, grille cheese or ham and cheese?

Does Mack have the Brockway archives???
