  1. Three old Mack’s awaiting restoration in the company boneyard behind the body shop.
  2. Should have searched first, aluminum cab with a one piece fiberglass roof. NO, I can’t buy another truck ….Jack But , but it is neat 🤔
  3. Bids have not changed since 1/5, still at $3300, auction ends 1/23! Is that an aluminum cab???….Jack
  4. Unity discontinued the old style with the hump on top with Mack or Unity written on it, but you guys were a big help and got one on the way for very resonable amount, The matched set of Unity S-3 on E-bay with Mack logo on top was ok , but not $395 ok.....Jack
  5. Thanks Robb, our hand spot lights are Unity one is branded Mack one is Unity, would make sense same brand ! Looks like you sent me down the right path.
  6. Oops , my brother’s grandson Grayson Mack is the youngest Mack ……Jack
  7. Looking for info on the lights mounted on A-pillar , 2nd photo is of our truck back in the day and from Boston fire Department , all the 1957 B-85 tractors they bought were set up same way with the red lights. We’re not nuts about a perfect restore as much as a fun truck but the lights filling the mounts on windshield would be a nice touch, and should be as close to factory as possible. First photo is of the youngest Mack Family generation playing with their truck!…..Jack
  8. I was under the impression that the dual ignition was mainly for a redundant start in case of failure of the distributor or coil in use. Our B85F has the selector switch for A, B or both. It is a fire truck it has to start , and start right away. Our truck is not running yet but soon, guess we will have to play with that….Jack
  9. Nice start Frank! I bet it was one of those moments when the bed went up, another thing tested and good!…..Jack
  10. Thanks Mike, cool there is another one nearby. I’ve seen your truck at my boss’s (John Haines) truck shows . Perhaps you should take your own advice and play with your parents truck as is, it’s only brakes my friend, and it is still a red convertible …..Jack
  11. About time you get on here little brother, I’ve been here a long time! This all started on this forum and it is a great find , 1957 ,red convertible with a five speed , everybody’s dream! Took about hour to talk Tom into it. We are both pretty stoked that the descendants of Jack Mack own a Mack truck!…..Jack
  12. Thanks Ryan, the B-85 is in great condition ,low mileage and we are stoked about having a Mack in our family, she is a 1957 and was Boston Ladder 11.....Jack
  13. Very interested in the B85F, live in Bally ,Pa. about an hour away would like to stop and check it out today if possible, Thanks!.....Jack
