Lead 1942 MACK FIRE TRUCK-
Description
*VIDEO AND MORE PICTURES TO UPLOADED WEDNESDAY 15TH MAY ** 9.9% buyers premium applies to this lot This Mack truck Chassis 75-S-2031 was built by Mack Trucks Inc. in Allentown PA and came off the production line on 20th July, 1942. The Firefighting Equipment installation was assigned to Mack Trucks Inc. factory in Long Island City NY. The Model Type 75-S has a 750 Gallon Water Tank & Triple Combination Pumper. The fire chassis was one of 40 ordered by the United States Treasury for shipment to Australia as part of the Allied war effort. From there it was delivered to U.S. Treasury Department in Washington DC on August 31, 1942. In March 1944 this vehicle was shipped to Sydney under U.S.-Australia Lend Lease Agreement and placed in custody of NSW Government/ NSWFB with a temporary body built by Peters Bros of Redfern. September 1946 Ownership passed to NSWFB and used as a 'spare' vehicle and was assigned Fleet number 171. This particular Mack was used for various periods of time as a fire truck in Sydney. In late 1955 it was Rebodied by Properts of Newtown, then served: Redfern for 6 years from December 1955, Concord for 10 years from December 1961, Broken Hill for 6 years before being withdrawn from service in April 1977. The Mack was then purchased and used by Menindee Shire Council in December 1977 and before being sold to Gordon Cupper from Mildura in 1986. Gordon enlisted the aid of friend Bill Lake and his son to carry out the large amount of the restoration work. Gordon later sold the Mack to Steven Russell from Mildura in April, 2012. Steven had intentions to take the truck to shows and use for fire truck rides for kids. Unfortunately his commitments were such that this plan did not eventuate. The Mack sat around for a number of years before it was sold in January 2020 to brothers Tony & Brett Eastwood from Montrose, Victoria. Since then, the Mack has been bought back to life again, had a good polish and has been going out on regularly runs and events around the Dandenong's and Yarra Valley area.
