Popular Post T-Mack1 Posted 18 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 18 hours ago 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.

It wasn't too hard. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75276-former-boston-fd-b85f-1211-project-mack-brothers/#findComment-571205 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Mack Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Perhaps filming from the passenger so as not to show our desperate attempt at fixing the gas tank involved a 2 gallon jug on the running board! My brother showed up hours after I had been out working on new fuel pump, redneck fuel tank with the mission to run the motor today. Tom comes walking up showing me the new rectifier, and talking about gauges, and little stuff, ........I was like we are running her today forget that stuff the tank is full let's get going! It went well.....Jack 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75276-former-boston-fd-b85f-1211-project-mack-brothers/#findComment-571245 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Cummings Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Looks and sounds good. I'll bet a buffing would bring a nice shine to that paint Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75276-former-boston-fd-b85f-1211-project-mack-brothers/#findComment-571246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
