How about this one? I took the picture at Macungie several years ago, but do not have any information. Maybe you already have it listed. Mike

That is one for Vinny.

Found this on Ebay. Too expensive for me. Mike http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-MACK-FIRE-DEPARTMENT-FOAM-FIRE-EXTINGUISHER-/171217697847?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27dd5ebc37#ht_400wt_1224

Sad to hear you sold your trucks. At least they went to a good home. Now you can hunt for something else. Mike

There are 4 Big Horns for sale in the latest issue of Wheels of Time. The add says two of them are not real. I am not a Dodge guy, but I would love one of them. Doug Maney has one. Mike

The is an AB city service ladder truck in the Mack Museum. It was donated by the Peckville? PA fire company to America on Wheels, but is not on display there. I drove it from a show at America on Wheels in Allentown to the Mack Museum. That was a fun ride. Gary Mahan has a Restored AB pumper that the hose bed has been converted to seating. It is from Steeleton, PA, the same town my AC is from. You should contact him about the engine parts you need. Mike

Here is a link to a conversation about Smith's H60T. They also had 6 H61's and the 3 H613's. I have their only remaining H613T. I will try to post a picture. Brad Wyke? in the Carolina's has several H61's. He is the guy restoring Evil's F model. He wrote a great article about them for Wheels of Time several years ago. I don't think it is legal for me to post it. Mike http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/31980-h-60t-in-australia/page-1

The show is Friday and Saturday. Trucks start arriving Wednesday. There are only a few left on Sunday. It will take all of Friday and Saturday to look at the 600 or so trucks and the huge flea market. Firday night is the Family Picnic which draws several hundred people. There is more food than can be eaten, a band and drawings for prizes. There is not a cost, but they ask for donations. Mack provides a bus which goes to the Macungie Plant for self guided tours. I don't know if they have a bus, but there is the Mack Museum and Customer Care Center near by. There is also the America on Wheels Museum in Allentown which has several Macks on exhibit along with lots of cars. If you are around a while you can go to see some private truck collections. If you are bringing family there is lots of sight seeing in Philly about an hour away or Dorney Park amusement park a few miles away. Hope this helps. I'm sure others can add more. FWD is our resident "Julie the cruise director". Maybe he will add something. Mike

I'll be there. I wouldn't miss it. The featured vehicles are emergency vehicles so I'll bring some fire trucks. Mike

The is an R tanker in eBay.

Welcome to the forum joemac. Glad to hear Harvey is still alive. Lets see those pictures you took. I also live in SE. PA(Boyertown). Do you have any trucks? Mike

Saw this truck in the coal hills of PA today. It is a Cat, not a Mack. The coal business seems to be doing well up there. Loading one truck after another. Mike.

Found one.

I agree that the CF was probably NOT the only one at the time. I tried to buy one a couple years ago, but the owner decided to keep it. I think the price would have been higher if it was the only one. Chevy had a Spirit of American Nova and other models out in '74. I Always thought it was dumb that is was not done in '76. I stole this picture from the intraweb. I'm pretty sure Cub Cadet had its own version but maybe not. Mike

I'm no expert but I think you are right. Mike

I'll try to find it.

I have an old continental flat head out of one of Smith's old Mack's. I don't know what kind of shape it is in but would be willing to sell it. I can check if you want. Mike

An I think NOS roof was sold at the Ralph G. Smith auction a in 2011. If so it was bought by Darryl Emery. I did not bid against him for most of the f model sheet metal so he got most of it. Mike

I think this is an RW753 but I could be wrong. I sits next to the yard that my father runs out of. Haines and Kibblehouse has about 7 superliners.

Nice work. I would never take a truck that far apart because I would never get it back together. Keep it up. Mike

You never know what is out there. Look at the Lambrecht Chevy dealership. I would not have believed it if I had not seen it. If you do find the place let me know. Mike

My father blew a spark plug out of the EN540 in his B66 about 13 years ago. The manifolds were broken so he started taking it apart to replace them and put a heli-coil in the spark plug hole. He broke several studs and got discouraged. Finally I convinced him to take the thing to the mechanic who worked on my LFT. Turns out antifreeze got into one of the cylinders and scored it. My mechanic feels it is beyond repair. We have 3 parts engines, but they are all stuck. I know it is a long shot, but if anyone close to PA has one that is not stuck that they are willing to part with, I am interested. Thanks, Mike
