better check her out for drips and sags first and for god sakes if the air compressor doesnt 'blow' you dont wanna trade!

sorry but that is just one Ugly truck haha with a capital U.... looks like its slumped forward and sideways..

phew does she look rough. she looked rough 15 years ago as well. think they bondoed her up for TV. after that she went right down hill like when she was in Masters of Menace, the movie.

could be worse, you could be workin on a Ford, or even worse, a Dodge haha.

i dunno, im stilla youngin, mine says im still on the ''hard boiled egg stage'' as they take 15 min to cook.....

not sure if its a custom job or not but Cobleskill Ny has a four door R model Mack fire truck. might be on their website. i know i have one of their T shirts they were sellin at the Balston Spa truck show that Reads Cobleskill FD, Home of the Mack Attack as they have the R model alone with a Granite and a few others along with a few restored older peieces of equip

should be a line comin out of treadle to the front brake valve for your air pressure but this should be a 3/8 line... have to look under mine tomorrow if i rememebr and take a pic. i forget how the lines run now, been a while.

wow the gold and orange colored superdog is sweet alone with that oddball B80 series. some of those are back when trucks had a little color and class, just not white colored throw away junk

actually a lot of people liked the truck in the lead. said it kept everyone in line and at a pace and not hotroddin the whole time plus they could see it un like ridin in a group and not knowin where the leader was and where the stops and roads were. had a few assholes pass me and time were were going 50 and sometimes 70 but all in all a good time.

some more Springfield pics, better late than never haha. the gray and white tandem B61 had a 300+ under the hood and was pretty darn sweet. one of my favorites there

they are NOT split rims, split rims are old school Buds like on olds Fords, Chevy's, Dodges and Studebakers where the whole rim split down the middle and was dangerous as all hell. what you have are Lock ring type rims. some might even be Safety Rims. Goodyear made the Safety rim i think along with Firestone. they were where u put the rim down, slide tire over, hammer or pry the other side of the ring on, then hammer or pry the safety lock ring on. they can be dangerous to if mismatched rings are used. the trick is to make sure the grove and the rings are clean and NO rust. if they are really rusty, scrap them! if they can be cleaned up and fit tight they are fine to reuse just dont mix and match the lock rings and rims. old guys frown upon that.
