Our Fire Department (Seattle) has a fully restored '50's B-series Mack that I drool over every time I get detailed to the station that houses it. I will ask the guy's at the fire garage on Wedensday if there are any available locally and pricing. A neat trick we do with our rig is when you are going down a hill and the Jake brake is on, kill the ignition for a second or two and turn it back on. KABOOM!!!!! Major backfire!! It really scares the heck out of everyone within a 1 block radius. But our rigs are unmuffled anyway so you dont have to worry about killing anyone with shrapnell.
