bulldogboy Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 convoyduel: The Mack looks good; nice job. I always like seeing a Mack fire truck restored. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/16537-progress-on-my-st-louis-city-68-r608f-pumper/#findComment-66972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivetroad Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Here's a few pictures of before and "after". I'm not done, but it's coming along.That new paint sure looks good - what is under the hood?I saw a couple of retired St. Louis Mack firetrucks a few years ago at a fire department owned storage lot located off Goodfellow, just south of Natural Bridge.Did this come from there?

convoyduel Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 That new paint sure looks good - what is under the hood?I saw a couple of retired St. Louis Mack firetrucks a few years ago at a fire department owned storage lot located off Goodfellow, just south of Natural Bridge.Did this come from there?No, this one went to the St. Louis City Parks department as a riverfront flush truck in 1990 until 2000 then to a junkyard off of Broadway by O'Fallon Park in north St. Louis City where I got it from. There were 12 identical units ordered in '68 (S/N's 1004-1015). This one is 1006. The City still has one in storage at that facility you mentioned, but it has a bum engine. One's scrapped out in a junkyard in Alton, another collector here has one in pieces in St. Clair. The other 8 ended up down in Alabama and Mississippi.The truck has a 707C gas with a 5 speed direct. The pump is a 1000 Waterous but is stuck.
