Yes sir...I'll be sure to bring some.

I'd have to say the E Model and the Mack Jr. were the best of the late 30's...here is some info from Mack's History website: 1936 The name of the International Motor Company is changed to the Mack Manufacturing Corporation. The Mack E series, introduced in 1936, were streamlined, medium-duty trucks with gross vehicle weight ratings ranging up to 23,000 lbs. The E models were available in both conventional and cab-over-engine configurations and proved themselves among the most versatile products ever offered by Mack. Over 78,000 were produced through 1951. Mack was one of the first truck manufacturers to apply four-wheel brakes to heavy-duty trucks, increasing braking ability and safety, particularly with heavier loads. In 1938, Mack became the first truck manufacturer to design and build its own heavy-duty diesel engines, establishing the tradition of "balanced design" (in which the integration of the powertrain and vehicle design maximize performance) that continues today. Mack was a major military contractor on a much larger scale in World War II, with more specialized products. Mack trucks served the Allied forces 35,000 strong in that second conflict, in the form of prime movers, personnel carriers, wrecker trucks, tank transporters, and more. 1936-1938 Mack merchandised a series of trucks under the name "Mack Jr." The vehicle was actually built by the Reo Truck Company in Lansing, Michigan. The vehicles were built according to Mack specifications and were sold through the Mack sales organization. In total, there were 4,974 chassis built during this time frame. This was the second time in its history that Mack sold a Mack junior chassis. The 1936-1938 units should not be confused with the earlier Mack Junior; production on that version began in 1909.

Wow, nice find! She was on the brink of death!

Fireman's Prayer When I am called to duty, God Wherever flames may rage, Give me strength to save some life Whatever be its age. Help me embrace a little child Before it's too late Or save an older person from The horror of that fate. Enable me to be alert And hear the weakest shout, And quickly and efficiently To put the fire out. I want to fill my calling and To give the best in me, To guard my every neighbor and Protect his property. And if according to my fate I am to lose my life Please bless with your protecting hand My children and my wife. —Author Unknown Mack Fire Truck Photos!

Whoa! That is different! Bet it freaks alot of people out! I'd like to see it with the VN head lights!

Indeed...all Mack 2 valve heads should take the same Jake kit. Now with that said, there were 2 different Jake kits...675A & 675B. Either one will work on the Mack 2 valve, but most parts are not interchangable between the two brakes.

Hey Eric, welcome to BMT! Glad to have ya aboard!

LOL, that's how these projects go...one thing leads to another! Just like working around the house! I don't even wanna go there! Your cat's like mine...likes to get in every picture!! LOL

Well. you can have any color interior you like...as long as it is green! LOL Sometimes, firetrucks had different color interiors. Mainly red paint sprayed over top of the original green. I'm not sure why they were all green though...probally just for ease of production.

LOL

Size is 5-1/4" x 1-1/8"

I'm gonna go with the 379X also...

Wish I had $4.5 Billion just laying around! LOL

Interior parts are getting harder to find, but we can still get them from time to time...usually silver gray, but sometimes beige is still available...
