Popular Post CaptainCrutch Posted July 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2019 Just my pictures that I took at the event... I’ve also got a video of the parade coming through but it’s over 20 minutes long and I’m pretty sure I can’t put any video on here... 4 Quote Who needs a back yard when you could have a Yard?!

hurstscrambler Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 That front looks sort of Ford-ish. Andy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58107-pump-primers/#findComment-427767 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost looks like they took a late 50's Diamond T 921 "China Closet" cabover grille and flattened it out..

Maddog13407 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 didn't some of the NYFD Macks use that blank lookin grille panel to? how about the quad headlights and flush signals on that R model? someone did some nice fiberglass work instead of cutting the square headli'tes into the original panels like I have seen, not that I like either one. look like they came from an 80's Buick or the Chevy Chase's 'Family truckster' Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58107-pump-primers/#findComment-427784 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogboy Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 The early "CF" models, 1967-68, had that painted grill with the horizontal chrome strips. The full chrome front was on later "CF" models.

yarnall Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 The AC pumper is mine. It is spending the year in the Harrisburg Fire Museum. Hopefully I’ll have a new built by the time I bring it home.

CaptainCrutch Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 It was awesome seeing that old Bulldog out and driving around, but boy could you smell it, even after it was shut off and just sitting for a while. A beautiful rig though, absolutely loved seeing it, put some of even the newer ones to shame on it’s driving capabilities... Quote Who needs a back yard when you could have a Yard?!

CaptainCrutch Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Well that’s to this quarantine I’ve had some extra time on my hands... finally edited my footage from PPP last year for YouTube. As soon as it’s public (should be very soon) enjoy! Also, don’t mind the music towards the end, I needed to fill the noise void and that was the best I could find while avoiding a potential copyright lawsuit...
