Former Boston FD , B85F-1211 project, Mack Brothers....


Recommended Posts

Here's an up date on my Brother and my B85F that was once part of Boston Fire Dept.  

It lives, moves and stops!!!!  

Sunday 3/9/2025, Jack and I got it running on a temp gas tank and got it to move around.
Videos are my brother Jack driving.   Note,  I boobie-trapped him by having the auxiliary shift lever in neutral. He figured it out.  And,  even though he has been driving manual trans cars for over 50 years, he never driven a truck with non-scynornized trans before.   

Truck-wise,  it builds air pressure to normal levels and the compressor kicks on and off where it should.  The battery charges.  Oil pressure is good.  And clutch seems normal for the 2 times we drove it up & down his 700 foot driveway.

Thanks for that. Freight train told me a while ago if you want to post video clips on here, you have to go through YouTube.

Great minds think the same.  I just figured out the Youtube thing and edited them in.  It wasn't too hard.
