Allison Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Firemack, I was staged beside the Rockville MD B-model at the Harrisburg muster the other day and we are trying to find some info out on the cab design. While it was a B-model it has a strange cab with the rear sloping down by the pump panel. I was hoping you could provide some info on this cab design. Was there many produced the style or name of the cab etc.thanks for the helpAllison Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/9639-4-b-models-4-l-models-1-c-model-mack-firetrucks/#findComment-38308 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemack Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Alison,First congratulations on taking best of show at the Harrisburg Muster, that is an honor and you should be proud of the work you did to return your truck to splendor that it had when new. I heard a lot of good comments, but was not able to attend myself. I hope to see your truck at another event.I think you may have seen a B model coupe with a custom cab. These used the standard B or L model cab but had a custom roofline to meet the rear pump body. If you have any pictures that you can post I can confirm that with you.There is a muster coming up at the Rose Tree Park in Media PA on August 2nd and would be great to see your truck there. All BMT members, old Macks and Firetrucks are welcome. Great Job on your truck,Firemack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/9639-4-b-models-4-l-models-1-c-model-mack-firetrucks/#findComment-38355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allison Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Firemack, Thank you! It was a very nice day, the rain held off and we had a good turnout. We are very proud of the rig and tremendously excited about the Dave Buskey award. I’m good friends with Dave’s brother and while I never had the chance to meet Dave I have been out to his little museum that he left behind. It was a good day for the Harrisburg brothers. I also happen to come across Harvey while judging. My friend was with him and I stopped to speak with my friend and he introduced me. I was wondering where you were. Any way I believe the first photo you have posted is of the very rig we are talking about. The Rockville FD is claiming to have created the style and also call it the Rockville. Do you know if they had done this for other departments, the sloped back?Alison,First congratulations on taking best of show at the Harrisburg Muster, that is an honor and you should be proud of the work you did to return your truck to splendor that it had when new.

Firemack Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Allison,They did make a lot of the custom coupe cabs, with the rear panel integrated with the pump body. This was for several reasons, some customers wanted more storage in the cab, more seats, or another access to the cab. You should buy Harvey's Mack books on the B model and L Model fire trucks as he has many of the various configurations in the book as a record of the types of trucks that Mack custom built. I can check with Harvey to see if still has any left, or check on Ebay.Firemack.
