fergusonsystem Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Thanks, it's been in sea isle city it's whole life until April when we got it on govdeals,only 11000 miles on it ,and they told me it's really never been out of sea isle except for when they would take it to the parade in wildwood once in awhile,it was a rarely seen truck , I've had a few people tell me that they have been going to sea isle all of their lives and never seen it,since I've gotten I have taken it all over the place , woodstown muster, cooper river muster , mack show at gerharts and the muster in York , pa,runs fine ,but I guess since they ran it around in floods when it was in service the rear brakes like to hang up ,this winters project is to pull them off and check them out 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Lawrence Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The truck is in amazing shape. I can't tell if this is a Mack fire body or a fire body that Hahn built as a Mack sub-contractor. Nonetheless, a very nice truck and well worth preserving. Signal if you tire of it.
