Pics of First Mack you drove

Matt I think step is all the way to front for easy access to cab as Luberfiner is where front of tank would normally be.Tin looks nice and paint original. I see it is from Oregon that explains it. Joe D.

This is the first Mack I drove it is a 1978 Mack CF685 from the Long Hill Fire Department located in Trumbull CT. The rig had a sister to it which was engine 205. Both were refurbished by Pierce and enclosed cabs were added using Mack doors.

Here is a photo of Engine 209 after Pierce refurbished it and Long Hill sold it to Westport CT.

Awesome truck. Mack CF fire trucks were the greatest fire apparatus ever produced.

The year was 1994 i was 19 years old and just starting my driving career. It was the only truck my dad ever bought new 1994 CL613 E9 500 Mack 18 spd 44,000lb Mack rears on Hendrickson air ride. I only drove that truck a few times dad only kept that truck for about 3 years and he kicked himself for selling it for a lot of years after. Loved that big hood lots of power under it and it rode like a dream. I wish I had that truck now myself. I thought we never had any pictures of the truck, we couldn't find any when we put pictures of all my dad's tucks up at his funeral. Mom came across them today in some boxes of dad's stuff so she gave them to me.

12 years old in the yard with my dad standing on the step and hanging to the mirror brackets for dear life. Had power steering but it was out of a john deere tractor so you quickly learned not to over correct as every turn you made one way you had to crank it back as it would not do it on its own. Probably my fondest memories were just riding down the road as a young'n watching the smoke roll as dad drove.
