This 1933 Mack BG Firetruck Is Amazingly Intact And Ready For Restoration

There’s just something awesome about old, open cab fire trucks and this original and fully intact 1933 Mack is a stunning example of the breed. There are enthusiasts for just about every vehicle known to man out there. Guys who love trains, guys who love wreckers, and especially guys who love and restore fire trucks. What you are looking at is a very, very rare example of a 1930s Mack pumper truck. This one was built by Mack for a town in New York and the seller has all of the original build information on the rig to back that up.

The most amazing part of this truck is how intact and complete it is right down to the ladders hanging off the sides, the hoses, and even the gauges are all there. Yes, there’s plenty of work that needs to be done to restore this thing. There will be metal work there will be mechanical work and there will certainly be body work to get it all back to its gleaming red state but wow. This is a project that any ace firetruck collector would saw off a limb to get hold of.

Mack fire trucks have been some of the coolest in history. From these old open cab jobs to the massive trucks used in towns and cities for decades after this one was built, bulldog equipped fire trucks have carried more than their fair share of first responders to the scene of blazes.

Maybe we’re just simple but it is kind of amazing to look at the photos of this truck and see it as though it were just parked in the back of a fire house 60-70 years ago and just left there. No parts pilfered off of it, no egregious damage done. Frozen in time and allowed to rust comfortably, it is a really cool look back into the world of fire fighting apparatus and we hope it is one day restored to it original glory.
