1934 Hale IH

this truck was sold to Oberlin PA (Dauphin County)



unknown photographer Dave Bowen??

Frank the Upland engine was not sold to the Oberlin Fire Company. The Oberlin engine I have listed as a 1935 International and also have this qoute from their history in 2003.



"As the community grew and property valuation increased, the chemical wagon became obsolete. Firemen, to keep abreast of the times, voted in 1936 to purchase a pumper. The 500-gallon pumper arrived in Oberlin on December 17th, 1936, in time to become the firemen’s Christmas present to their town. It is still in use as an auxiliary piece after more then 65 years of faithful service."



There are some very visual differences in the two pieces, larger headlights on the Upland piece, siren is on the driver's side fender of the Oberlin piece, warning lights on fenders of Oberlin piece, the ladder on the Upland piece is on the passenger'side, where the ladder on the Oberlin piece is on the driver's side.



It currently resides in the Pennsylvania National Fire Museum

There is a nice history of the Chistopher Company at the following website:

[url="http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/c/christopher/christopher.htm"]http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/c/christopher/christopher.htm[/url]



According to that information "Only a single Christopher-bodied vehicle, a 1964 GMC rescue truck, is known to exist."



Does anyone know where that 1964 GMC is and what it looks like? Photo?



Good find, thanks for posting Frank!
