The truck looks alot better now after several hours of pressure washing! The truck has a 212" WB but I'm missing about 4' of frame behind the axles. I found the original owners wife in Idaho and found out it was originally a logging truck so if I can find a 50's vintage long logger setup it will go back to a logger. Besides with the 44,000 lb rears in it the ride is less than smooth. It has been to a show already but on the lowbed behind the superliner. Can't beat that airride suspension.

For those of you looking for the bulldog, base and grab bars for a CF there is one on Ebay, item #6584903988. I think it runs another day or so, you better hurry.

This truck was several miles off the paved road on a horse ranch. I don't think you could even have seen it from the air unless you were looking. It pays to have friends who keep their eyes and ears open.

Finally got some pictures of the truck up as it was when I found it. They're in my gallery so take a look. I'm still working on pictures of the rest of the fleet. Brad

I'm still trying to figure out how to work this site but I'll try to get some photo's in the gallery soon. I don't know if I've got any of the cabover but I do have some of my Dad's superliner hauling home the LJSWX that I can post. Three generations of Mack lovers ought to be worth something. It's not easy but we're trying to keep Mack alive on the west coast!

Just bought a set of Mack mirrors from thebigguy on ebay. He is a little hard to get ahold of by ebays' mail but answered his cell phone first try. His name is Art Vega (817) 881-2901, e-mail: avegafiretruck@sbcglobal.net. He has a lot of firetruck parts for sale and says he can find whatever parts you need. Good luck. Brad

There are quite a few up here, mostly LT's but a few others also. My dad has a 1920 AB, 1965 F715 and a 1989 RW613, the later 2 still being used daily. Its nice to see the old ones being fixed up. this looks like a great site for Mack info.

Hi, My name is Brad Petersen. I'm from northern CA and have a couple of old Macks, an LJSWX, an LTH and an LTL parts truck. I am in the process of fixing up the LJ, the LT's are future projects. I've spent the last 15 years repairing and restoring several macks in the area and finally have a couple of my own.
