fire4t3 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Not sure of the exact year and model. My father was a newark, n.j. fireman and was assigned to this engine company and drove this mack. I down loaded these pics from the website www.newarkfirehistory.com ,they showcase a different newark fire apparatus every week.eng_11_5.bmpeng_11_6.bmpeng_11_4.bmp Edited June 24, 2009 by fire4t3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/9859-b-model-pictures-not-sure-of-exact-year/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermodynediesel Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Nice looking old fire engine. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/9859-b-model-pictures-not-sure-of-exact-year/#findComment-37202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemack Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Fire 413,Thanks for posting these pictures, that is a great looking B model mack. From the body and air filter, it looks like a 63-66 B model, it has the full compartments on the rear body and what looks like a diesel air cleaner. Also very rare in the east is the Budd type wheels. Any ideas where that truck is today?

I down loaded these pics from the website www.newarkfirehistory.com ,they showcase a different newark fire apparatus every week.Those pics are from the 1960's. I believe it was a gas job. Newark had a few b-models in their fleet. Not sure where that truck is today, probably was recycled in a scrap yard many years ago, when Newark gets rid of a rig its usually pretty tired and battle-weary after a long hard life. Here are a few more pics of this mack. Also Newark has a b-model that was recently fully restored and is used as a caison for funerals and parades. It was never actually saw service for the city of newark. It was owned by a westinghouse factory fire brigade in I believe Harrison, N.J. I'll post some pics soon that I have on my other computer Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/9859-b-model-pictures-not-sure-of-exact-year/#findComment-37227 Share on other sites More sharing options...
