I recall there were a bunch of Pierce Arrow 4x4 engines sold to South America back in the late 80s/early 90's. Don't recall which country but I did see photos on here before. Any help is appreciated!

Ok guys, once again I am turning to your expertise and vast network of buffs to hopefully get some information on this truck. This is the first piece of equipment for the York Village Fire Department which organized in 1916 after a disasterous fire flattened the Marshall House hotel on Stage Neck Point overlooking the York River and Atlantic Ocean. The only information I have about this is that it was obtained used and sold around 1925ish when we got our 1925 American Lafrance type 65. The other thing I know about this is that this truck was not real reliable and that it started hard. They fired up the boiler to go to a fire once and the tractor wouldnt start, it filled the firehouse with smoke and had to be towed out of its bay....Anything you all could tell me about this would be helpful, I don't even know if its a Knox or a Christie.......
