bulldogboy Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Pumper 316 looks great; nice job on the rebuild. It should last for quite a few years more then settle into retirement as a parade piece. Looks like the body was replaced at one time; it appears to be a Ranger body. That's not unusual, most 1970s fire truck bodies rusted away and had to be replaced. It was not a Mack problem, it happened to all the steel bodied trucks. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28318-r-608-f-repower/page/2/#findComment-149430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
