It's not a Stovebolt, nor is it mine. But it is BIG . Well, relative to our trucks. It's actually small for a Mack.
I thought you guys might like to see what a friend of mine in the Baltimore-Washington Chapter of the ATHS bought last week for scrap value and had me haul home for him. We had a heck of a time getting it out of it's parking spot and turned around so I could winch it up on my trailer. It was quite the ride home -- my trailer is rated for 14,000 lobs and I think we used everybit of it. My 18,000-lb winch almost stopped getting it up and on the trailer!
We think it's a truck Mack built at the end of the war on the war contract and then, when the War Dept. canceled all the contracts, Mack held onto it, added the red paint and chrome and finally sold it to a VFD in new Jersey. It has a Thermodyne and a foam tank (which is odd for a rural VFD, right?) We can't place the grill, though. Any Mack experts out there who can ID this unit? The pump and body are all Mack.
