A well-traveled Imperial is this 1970 Dodge W-500 4X4 that was originally a rescue with Manoa,PA.FD.A 250/300 pump/tank was added at a later date, along with the extended bumper with deck gun.

Found some old parade pics of Imperials. East End FC of Catasauqua, PA Eng 213 was a 1973 Imperial D12 1500/500. Looks like an awfully big rear to only be 500 gals., but that's what I have.

The former Elverson FC in Chester Co, PA (after a merger now known as Twin Valley) had this 1970 Ford C900/Imperial 250/2000 which ran as Tnk 325. Now this rear end doesn't look big enough to be 2000 gals., but again that's what I have. Corrections always welcome.

St. James FD in Suffolk Co, NY Eng 431 was a 1973 Imperial D-12 1250/1000.

Green Lane FC of Montgomery Co, PA Eng 4222 was a 1973 Imperial D-10 1000/500.

Magnolia VFC of Kent Co, DE Eng 555 was a 1973 Imperial D-10 1000/1000.

And the Winterstown FC of North Hopewell Twp, York Co., PA ran this 1972 Imperial 1000/500 as Attack 45. They obtained this from Hauppage, NY.
And then my slide scanner broke!!!
