Found this old gal outside a liquor store in Montrose, Colorado last month.
It was locked up, so I couldn't get an exact year, but it's a circa '60-66 GMC B7000 with Sutphen bodywork and a front mount Barton American model UA50 pump. I'm guessing it's probably a 500gpm, based simply on the model # of the pump. Unknown on the tank size. According to the fender it has (or maybe had?) the somewhat rare GM "Twin-six" 702cid V12 engine. I don't know it's history, but would guess that it's probably ex-Montrose FD. They used to have slime colored rigs before going back to red a few years ago, IIRC.

Not a fire engine but a relic nonetheless. Old Springfield ambo found in Saluda SC. My local squad used to have a Springfield Type 3 that ran for years and years.

The upper handle on the suction cap points to the oblong capacity/pressure handwheel, which identifies it as a Hale pump. Capacity is at least 500 gpm, as indicated by the two 2-1/2" discharges. The intake appears to be 5", which may indicate a pump of at least 750 gpm.

Happened across this old rig in Nevada.

It's not in great shape, but better than rusting away in the weeds.

Here's another relic from my travels...Found in the town of Three Rivers, California.
195x Chevrolet/Unknown
Barton American 500gpm front mount pump
Labeled for "Van Buren Twp Fire Dept" (Michigan, maybe?)
There were no tags/plates anywhere to be found. The body could be Howe, but it's really hard to tell. The original tank (if there was one) was replaced with an ugly gray steel tank that filled the entire hose bed. The "Q" doesn't look all that old, actually.

Right next to the Chevy above, there was this International L190/Coast pumper.
It has Coast serial #844, on the original builders plate.
The pump plate shows it as a Waterous 750gpm, built in 1952.
This rig was not in nearly as good shape as the Chevy.
No markings on it indicating prior Department.

Was this old Engine 1?

I love how the some southwest rigs have little to no rust , but have a real unique look with the paint so sun beaten.
