    So the stamping of ratios on diffs means it was changed from 4.50 to 5.73 gears? Possibly when it was changed to be an off road truck perhaps. You are doing important stuff but cleaning up what looks to be the aluminum radiator and fender piece, will give you something to look at and think we’ll get this someday! Truck looks pretty good for the life it has lived……Jack

    Went for $4070, but still nice I always wanted a cab over until I found a B model open fire tractor. The bidder that got it was in it after the $ 1,000 mark, nice truck!…..Jack

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
