I realize I may be asking too much....but when they used to do artillery they used bracketing to hit the target...maybe I'm far off target but my price is negotiable :)  http://www.hardscrabblefarm.com/vn/artillery.html

If you buy my truck I'll give the secret to the holy grail of horn buttondom ;) ....actually it's a Grant "clone" I think a "pilot"...anyway the emblem is MKIV airbag emblem....you have to recess the stock grant/pilot button after peeling off the cheesy thick decal you can epoxy on the MKIV emblem...it absolutely fits perfect like it's made for the hole ::)

Though not as nice as yours, it brings back memories of my first vw diesel, a 1980 rabbit pickup.  Put a ton of miles on it before I blew the engine using a Sears oil filter with a bad seal. Replaced it with a used engine that didnt last 400 miles. This was before the internet and this site, and when diesel was 89 cents a gallon.

Just bought an old Checker cab, which wife was not happy about,  but a new project to go with the Mack CF.

Beautiful ride, good luck with selling it.

Stay safe, stay well. Jimmy.

1980 Mack CF Fire Engine. Working on it.
2007 Dodge MegaCab 5.9 Cummins. Nice, but plagued with issues

very nice work. super clean. love all the little things, headlight/advance knob matching shifter, steering wheel button, front bumper recess covers, discrete rear bumper.

Only thing that could possible be improved on (personal preference here) is finding a better color combo... but that'd probably mean using aftermarket components that would take away from the authenticity of it.

waaay nice truck, I hope someone who really appreciates it shells out the $$$ because you've obviously put the work into it.

bracketing is still used in modern call for fire missions ;)
