Scott,
Additional info on the Southern Chester County Rescue rigs:
1990 Ford L8000/Pierce, full cab, custom compartmented non walk-in body with a compressor, cascade, light tower, and a 75 Kw PTO generator. When it was ordered at a cost of $230,000, it was supposed to painted a dark green. Pierce painted it metallic green by mistake. Even though it was the wrong color, the company liked it, and made a deal with Pierce to pay for repainting the 1982 Chevrolet Suburban and 1979 Peterbilt/Swab the same color. It was given to the Po-Mar-Lin Fire Company (Chester County) on 4/23/93 when the association disbanded. Never repainted by Po-Mar-Lin. Po-Mar-Lin still has it as of today.
1979 Peterbilt/Swab, full cab, custom enclosed walk-in rescue. It was purchased used in 1990 from the Pikesville Fire Company of Maryland for $84,000. On 12/28/92 during a ice storm, it slid into a telephone pole on Cypress Street in Kennett Square borough and sustained $3,000-4,000 damage to the front bumper and roof lights. Given to the Longwood Fire Company (Chester County) on 4/23/93 when the association disbanded. Longwood had it repainted RW by Swab in September of 1993, model HDR-20, serial no. 4007, delivered 11/80. Sold by Longwood in early 1999 to the Cochranville Fire Company (Chester County) for $8,000, placed into service on 6/14/99. Motor replaced in 2001. Replaced and sold in 2006 to the Cherry Hill Twp. (Indiana County). The A/C and coffin compartments on the roof had to be removed so it would fit in the firehouse at Cherry Hill.

Scott'
Please keep up the good work I'm running behind on Firepics so didn't see this thread until yesterday. I immediately called my best firend, 1200 miles away, and told him about it, and also talked to his wife who can actually operate a computer, so she could find the thread for him. These photos are priceles. We love them.
