wildblue Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I am trying to locate this 1973 Mack R / Grumman engine. It was originally owned by the Quakertown Fire Company in NJ. It was sold to the Stewart County Fire Rescue in Tennessee around 2001 along with a 1975 American LaFrance engine from the Clinton Fire Dept also in NJ. The Mack was taken out of service by Stewart County several years ago. My contact at Stewart County has lost track of the Mack's location. If anyone has any pictures of the Mack in service with the Stewart County Fire Dept or any other departments, I would like to obtain those also. The first two pictures are of the Mack with the new Grumman body when she was in service in Quakertown, NJ and sold to Stewart County TN Fire Rescue. The last two pictures are of her with the original Mack fire body.If any one has any information and pictures of the Mack engine, please contact me at matt.papenfuhs@gmail.com. Thank you for any information. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38680-looking-for-1973-mack-r-fire-truck/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Have you contacted the Museum to see if anyone has sent in an inquiry about the truck?How about trying a carfax type search on the chassis number?Have you tried advertising on the SPAAMFAA site? Beautiful truck by the way. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

wildblue Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 You need to get a hold of Mike Martinelli, E290L103@aol.comI have been in contact with Mike Martinelli about this engine, our old 1979 R engine and our old Mack R rescue truck. He doesn't have any info about this engine after we sold it. Thanks for the suggestion, though!
