T-Mack1 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) Here are pictures I took of the B85 enclosed cab firetruck that is in storage at the Mack Historical Museum. Taken 12/23/2024. I was looking for reference pictures for how things are laid out for our restoration of an open cab '58 B85F hook & ladder tractor.

Solution Robb Posted January 6 Solution Share Posted January 6 Thanks so much for posting this! It will be a great reference for our 56 enclosed cab. I already see a couple of things I'd like to update on ours. Do you know what year this truck is? And, when visiting the museum, is there normally access to vehicles that are in storage? We are trying to include a visit to the museum in a potential trip this Spring to that area. I'd love to get some more pictures of this truck. Thanks again and good luck with your restoration!

Robb Hi Robb, Sorry I don't know the year of their B-Model that is in storage. Since I am a Mack truck employee (until Friday 1/10/25), and also a Mack, Doug the curator allowed me to climb over the truck to get some reference pictures to get our '57 B85F open cab going. There was a lot of stuff that made it a tight climb, so they might not allow someone to go into the storage area for insurance reasons. (As an employee, in a company owned facility, I would be covered.) But, maybe if you contact them, asking for a certain picture............
