I think these heavy-duty GMC/Chevy chassis are very attractive, esp. powered by a Detroit Diesel.

Does he have a bunch of these GMC/Chevy style cabs around and have a liking for that style, not just fire trucks? I ask because I own a 68' GMC w/ this style cab and am looking for fenders, didn't know if this person is a possible contact or a helpful resource, thanks.

Not much help here, but no doubt an Oren w/ a 350gpm pto pump and a 750/1000 tank, a staple of central and s/w Virginia through out the 60-70's. Cut my teeth on one.

Found this one behind Irmo, SC station 2. A 1970 Seagrave. Not sure where she served. Went to the the website listed, but no info on this one.

Hoping someone can shed some light on this truck I found on Wednesday. I could not finish looking at the truck to determine where it is from because a large dog ran me off. All I know is it's a Spartan / American lettered Engine 13. This was the best shot I could get because of the woods on one side and another vehicle on the other side. I found the truck in Denver, NC.

There is a 1966 900 KB 750 Seagrave sitting inside a building in Maryland that was used as a Kids Play Zone. The body is perfect. However it has no drive shafts. The 900 Cu In V-12 is missing the intake and exhaust manifods. It also has no doors. I have the contact info is you are interested. Pictures attached or Email me and I will send them on to you. The Serial No is Q 3290 if anyone can tell me where it camae from.

Its used to sit immediately west of the town of Appomattox on US 460, on the right as you head towards Lynchburg.

Trey do you know where this ride was assigned in Norfolk? I have a photo of Engine 6 or Squirt 6 showing what appears to be the same ride.
Relics - lawrencewhite111 - 11-13-2011
It was assigned as Engine 6 from 1991 to 2000.After that it was reserve till 2006 and taken OOS and sold.It was kept in good shape while in Norfolk,sucks to see it like that.There is a mixture of older rigs at the landfill by the way.
