Maddog13407 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 One of very few fire trucks I have seen with a green interior. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46705-mack-b-68-firetruck/#findComment-344661 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 goes to show nothing was exempt from .....MACK GREEN! , well maybe my 76 CF600 is red! but the body is banana yellow. I guess the guy who painted the interior was content to use DAILY GREEN Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46705-mack-b-68-firetruck/#findComment-344665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Superdog Posted September 5, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2016 I'm wondering ,since it's a B68,if it was ordered as just a chassis and had the fire body added elsewhere,that would explain the green interior. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46705-mack-b-68-firetruck/#findComment-344666 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogboy Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 My departments red 1956 "B-85F" had a green interior, all the later ones had red interiors. I've never heard of a Mack built "B-68" pumper. The body on this particular truck does not look like a Mack body. On both sides of the hood, on the right side ahead of the air filter, there is a emblem that may be from the body manufacturer. It almost looks like a Maxim emblem but I can't tell for sure. BTW, would a gas engine have an air filter on the outside like that, I always thought that meant a diesel engine? dogg rescue, do you know what department it came from? bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46705-mack-b-68-firetruck/#findComment-344698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogg rescue Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 It is a Maxim body, I was told it came out of Panama City Florida, there is a sticker on the front bumper that says Panama fire apparatus.

Mack458 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 If it was an original fire chassis I would think that it would have a dual ignition. My B95 was ordered from the factory with an exterior oil bath air filter, as I understand the standard air filter style was not efficient at removing contaminates from entering the engine.

bulldogboy Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Mack 458: You're right, a Mack fire chassis would have dual ignition with dual button starters, no key. I forgot about that little detail. Panama Fire Apparatus was a used fire truck dealer located in Lynn Haven, FL. That would explain the Panama sticker on the bumper. I'm not sure if they are still in business. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46705-mack-b-68-firetruck/#findComment-344749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyT Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Whatever it's origins it's a great looking truck! The body has great lines! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46705-mack-b-68-firetruck/#findComment-344966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
