knarfage Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I put the message below in the Mack truck stories section, but I think it needs to be in here also. Good to see other Mack fire truck enthusiasts !!!!When I was a jr. fireman in Surf City, NJ during the early 80's the Dept's first line truck was a Mack C series fire truck and it was a monster. Looked great, ran great, you know, it was a Mack. But what was unique about this f-truck and I've never seen it on another Mack fire truck even to this date. Is that this unit was ordered with a front winch system. The bumper was extended to have this winch put on and it really gave this truck a unique look. Years went by, I left the dept. and this Mack got replaced I believe by an MC Mack. I wish I could find out what happened to this Mack C. I just joined a fire collectors club here in Tampa, Fla and if this truck was still in decent condition I would love to add this truck to the collection.BTW, this site is great. Look forward to talking to you all on the board.Frank H.Tampa, Fla.
