yarnall Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) We need a little more information. Are you buying or selling? Insurance value? What model is it ? What condition? And pictures would help a lot. Thanks Mike.

SNelson Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 I’m looking to see it. I don’t have model info and photos are now attached. Thanks! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57559-1929-mack-firetruck/#findComment-424824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Best of luck in your pursuit. The radiator and hood look wrong for a Mack. Maybe someone changed things? Some of the front end details points to it possibly being a Mack AB model bus chassis built as a fire truck. The very early Mack AB trucks that I have looked at have the VIN stamped on the left front frame horn (yellow arrow). Can't remember if the later ones were stamped in the same spot. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

gxbxc Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Looks like a hose wagon or a salvage truck ,I don't see any pump or controls Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57559-1929-mack-firetruck/#findComment-424867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainCrutch Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 To me it looks like a ‘29 American LaFrance. If you look at pictures they look incredibly similar. I tried looking at all the characteristics of what you’ve got there and it seems to line up with a LaFrance. Maybe like someone else said, it’s a Mack with LaFrance parts on it but I think it’s just a LaFrnace with newer wheels. Quote Who needs a back yard when you could have a Yard?!

yarnall Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) I wouldn’t think it is worth more than $1500 no matter what it is. If the engine is stuck it is worth way less. I think it is worth saving though. Unfortunately a whole truck in that kind of shape sometimes will not even bring scrap price. It might be worth more than scrap price in parts. If it would turn out to be something unusual it could be worth more. You should try posting it on the SPAAMFAA Facebook page. Good Luck. Mike.

paulbrook Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Wow that looks excellent and never mind what anyone else says well worth restoring! If you can get it to a seaport and into a container I could give it a home!!
