mackmixer Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 According to http://www.oldmacksrus.com/production_numbers.htmfor the B 85, there were 455 fire trucks produced.Scroll down to the fire trucks with the above link.Also writing the Mack Museum will get you production data sheets and order information.There are also some fire truck nuts that will speak up, I hope.That is a well proportioned looking truck. Does it still look as good as the picture? Quote David Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/3522-1949-mack-canopy-cab/#findComment-17611 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firemack Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Greg,There are a few of us that are Mack Fire Truck members and most likely can source most of the parts you need between Watts and other Firetruck speciality vendors. Make a list of what you need and post it and then we suggest vendors, like the recent post on sirens.Firemack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/3522-1949-mack-canopy-cab/#findComment-17739 Share on other sites More sharing options...
