MissouriDreaming Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I came across a 1973 R model on Brindlee Mountain's site that someone has for sale. I am not bright enough to figure out how to direct link on this forum otherwise I would. www.firetruckmall.com and look under pumpers.I am not affiliated in any way with Brindlee but I figured someone might be interested.Gregg Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40497-1973-r-model-e-one-for-sale/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADDOG93 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 That Mack R was rebuilt at some time because E-One was not in business in 1973 and that pump has been upgraded to 1,250 GPM with those discharge's. 1973 Mack chassis with about 1995 to 2000 year update. Boy would like to have that next to my B-95 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40497-1973-r-model-e-one-for-sale/#findComment-293582 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogboy Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 wish I would of seen that before we bought our cf 3 weeks ago I would of tried to bought it but the new cf is a real nice truck though Joe, you bought another "CF"? Do you have three "CF"s now? Pictures of them all would be great. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40497-1973-r-model-e-one-for-sale/#findComment-294262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogboy Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I would have been interested in it if had the original Mack body on it.Most, if not all, "R", "MB", and "MC" fire trucks had bodies built by Grumman (Howe), Hamerly, or others. Most fire apparatus built in the '70s had bodies that rusted away in no time. There probablyaren't many existing "R", "MB", "MC", or "CF" models with the original body still on them (not one that saw any fire activity, anyway). Same goes for Ward LaFrance, ALF, Seagrave, etc. bulldogboy 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40497-1973-r-model-e-one-for-sale/#findComment-294336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
609albert Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 If the macks went to New Mexico or Arizona the orginal body would have lasted. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40497-1973-r-model-e-one-for-sale/#findComment-294502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
