Frank - do you still have the factory photo scan of a 1950's Maxim from Haverford Township, PA (Brookline?)



Someone sent me a more recent photo of the pumper and we think the body (with high side compartments) was original, but I don't have a factory photo of it. I've fiddled with the search feature here because I think you posted this once before, but I can't find it. Short of checking 231 pages one at a time, I am crying uncle!



Attached is the more recent photo of it lettered for Limestone, OK. Photo credits to Steve Loftin.

Halifax Fire Department ran this rig for a few years before it was destroyed in the garage. The tanker had gone into the garage to have it's brakes checked. While the unit was up on the lift, the water in the tank shifted, causing the tank to twist the frame and shear off the bolts holding the drivers side of the tank down, resulting in the following:
