I don't know Macks that well, but I have a book of Mack fire apparatus and I'm thinking it is an L series which was built from 1940-54, or potentially the E series built from 1937-50. I'm leaning towards L as it looks like the E series has more of a sloped back grill. I'm pretty confident that it is not a B series as the fenders are more swoopy than on the B.

AITM makes a very nice L series fire cab. It does have a closed cab though so would take a fair bit of work to build it as an open cab like that.

Based on my experience with antique Mack fire equipment, it appears to be a 1938-40 Mack E75S pumper. These were equipped with a 750 gpm pump and a booster tank in the 200 - 300 gallon range. The three louvers on side of the hood were replaced six (two groups of three) beginning in 1941

Hope this helps.
