Popular Post TRFD1933 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2016 So it has been quite a while since I posted some updates on our Mack restoration project. The below pictures are of us picking up the apparatus from the MDC Concord Jail in Concord Mass on June 7th. I am that balding fellow in the middle. To my right is my father and to my left is the automotive shop director Jan Hanrady. The boys there learned a thing or two on sandblasting and painting. The paint work turned out quite well. Thankfully under the pump gauges was a couple of area where the original paint existed. We were able to run a exact color match using those areas. Since then we have begun the reassembly process. We acquired oak boards for the running boards and those are currently being fabricated. We retooled the original metal tins and trim, so those will be reapplied with stainless steel fasteners. The dash and trim is back in. More photos to follow! 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31439-1933-mack-type-50more-questions-then-answers/page/3/#findComment-346420 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfymn Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I believe the West Barnstable FD has a similar truck. It might be worth a phone call.

bulldogboy Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) It's the Barnstable Fire Department that has a 1935 Mack "B" model pumper. Same town, different department. West Barnstable's antique is a 1956 Ford "F"/John Bean 500/500. Barnstable, MA has five fire districts: Barnstable, West Barnstable, Cotuit, Hyannis, and Centerville-Osterville- Marston Mills (COMM). bulldogboy Edited June 4, 2019 by bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31439-1933-mack-type-50more-questions-then-answers/page/3/#findComment-347694 Share on other sites More sharing options...
