gmbelt Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Looking for a source to purchase grab handles, railings and recessed latches for compartment doors on a 1966 Mack C-95 open cab pumper. The existing handles, etc., are chrome and in a rusted/pitted state. I know I can likely have these parts re-chromed, but it may be cheaper to look for new items.Regards,Gary M.

Firemack Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Gary,The grab handles and railings are Mack specific, and not easy to find. You may be able to find stainless steel tubing to replace the railing, but the fittings are Mack. If you are open to a non original look you can go to tow truck accesories web-sites that have grab handles and can use them but will not be the same Mack Fire truck look. I looked around and finally had mine rechromed.The door handles are from a company called Eberhard, they are still in business and may be able to replace the handles you have.

kennylane Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Austin Hardware has various sizes of paddle latches and you can view their catalog on-line.
