First up......Back when the PFD re-established Heavy Rescue 1, they ran as a 2-piece company. This beverage truck was donated by Pepsi Cola and modified & painted by Shop 2.
Heavy Rescue 1's second piece- a 1979 ALF Century Series with the tank & pump removed. This was commonly known as "The Collapse Piece." After Rescue 1 got their new rig (the Spartan/Saulsbury) this remained quartered with R1 as the collapse piece. The Pepsi Truck ran as a spare.
