hfd267 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Hey all. My fire department is restoring their 1969 CF 600 engine. We are looking for parts. The main parts we are looking for are the rear fenders. The original fenders on our rig were damaged and relaced with diamond plate. We would like to restore it to the original sheet metal. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/16769-restoring-an-1969-cf-600/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Welcome aboard. This is a great board with all sorts of helpful advice.Have you joined SPAAMFA yet? It's the organization that is dedficated to preserving old fire trucks. They have a classified section where you can advertise for the needed parts and you can check for any parts that are for sale.Depending on the state you are in there may be a local chapter of SPAAMFA as well. Someone in the chapter might be able to help you out.The CF's are still pretty common, so you will probably be able to locate what you need eventually. You may want to try to locate a similar model through this board or SPAAMFA and than have the fenders duplicated to match.It would be helpful if you would post some pictures of your rig here along with the pertinant biographical information about the rig and your fire company.

I was refered to this site by someone on the Firepics.net board. We have not joined SPAAMFA yet and don't know if has been discussed. I have a few pics that I will post of wnem it was in service. I know it is an 1969 CF 600, automatic transmission. It was the first mack for the Holbrook Fire Department on Long Island. It was in service until 1992 when it was sold to Roxbury CT Fire Dept. It sat in a field until the end of 2008 when it was driven back to Holbrook. I don't know if it pumps. I will have to get the other specs from the rig.

fxfymn Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Got any current pictures? The rig doesn't have rear fenders per se, just liners. By fenders do you mean the rear cabinets?

By fenders do you mean the rear cabinets?I don't have any current pics. It looks about the same except the paint and gold leaf are faded and it has som rust.The fenders (area covering the wheel well between the cabinets) are not missing entirely. The original sheet metal was replaced with diamond plate when it was still in service.
