IIRC it is a one of a kind collaboration between Mack and Sutphen(?)

That was the one off Sutphen pumper with a Mack engine and transmission. It was originally red with a white cab. I don't know the whole truth to the story but Sutphen was working with Mack on using their engines and transmissions. Well Sutphen decided to put the Mack name plates and bulldog on the truck. Evidently, Mack was to thrilled about the idea. Needless to say the project was scrubbed. There were ads taken out in the major publications showing off the truck but nothing materialized (kinda like Sutphen's attempted at a tiller tower ladder).

As for the truth to the matter, you know how rumors go down the "telephone line". That is what was relayed to me.

It was more than Mack wanted one thing and Sutphen wanted another. That wagon almost wound both of them up in court. The thing sat forever until Jere (Jerry) Lady of Lady & Taylor Body Works & Pennsylvania Fire Apparatus got them sell it on the cheep. Jere painted it Heidlersburg Green to match the CF-Mack and R-Mack Tanker that Heidlersburg Runs. The rig went in service as E25-2 about a year ago.

On a side note I got Jere to restore Millwood's Brockway Torpedo Antique when I was in college at Gettysburg (2nd due to Heidlersburg). He is currently restoring my '57 B-Mack and should be finished or close-to-finished with Chappaqua's Antique Mack as well.

He is currently manufacturing the body, pump, and tank for Heidlersburg's new Tanker which is being built on a Mack Granite chassis if I'm not mistaken. He has a history of taking old FDNY rigs and refurbing them for use in PA and MD. For some reason he likes to replace the round headlights on CF Macks and Century Cab LaFrance's with four square ones like what is seen on Heidlersburg's CF-Mack E25-1 that is in the posted picture next to the Sutphen-Mack E25-2. Odd looking, but it's his signature.
