Firemack Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 Sure wish I was closer to PA or I would be there.Nice looking B75! is it restored or original?DWWe had to restore it, it was sold to another fire company in Vermont in 1973 and they painted it yellow, so we repurchased it in 2002 tore it down and rebuilt and restored it, repainted it back to original colors and gold leaf from pictures we had with help from the Mack Museum, Barry and others.There are 2 other original B75F models close by that we used for research to make sure we put this B75F together just as original. One about 10 miles away in Malvern, we used the Malvern truck to get everything installed just like original condition as our truck was torn apart in 1973 when they painted it yellow and they were not worried about correctly installing all of the items like the original. Here is a picture of both trucks at the body shop during the assembly.Firemack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/857-100-th-anniversary-parade/#findComment-4327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
