yarnall Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 It would have been built with a 707 cid gas engine. ENF707. It should have chrome valve covers and dual spark plugs, coils and distributors. Will you post a picture? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50919-b-mack-fire-truck-id/#findComment-378879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Welcome to the site. This is the best place to get info on your truck as the members here are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. The B85F 1185 is the chassis number. If you send that to the Mack museum, along with a suitable donation, they will send you a package that includes the build sheet, any delivery pics they have, an owners manual, and lots more goodies. It takes a couple of months, but it is well worth it. The saying here is "Without a picture it doesn't exist." So, pictures please.

Popular Post fyrmedic1 Posted January 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2018 Wow, what a coincidence! Looking at the serial number 1185, my 1961 B95F has the same last 4 digits. It was originally sold to Bellevue Washington and now resides in Southern Alberta Canada. Here she is at a car show 2 years ago with 27,000 miles on her. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50919-b-mack-fire-truck-id/#findComment-390160 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cgcfd1969 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 My fire department here in cocoa had the b85 firetruck I just bought. They sold it to my shrine club in 1990. I just bought it from the shrine I tried to upload a pic. But wouldn’t do it ??
