[quote name='tascman' timestamp='1295128910' post='420603']Maryland City, MD had this 1959 Mack B 1000 gpm pumper that was defiled with a slime paint scheme.[/quote]
I believe that this rig was originally owned by the Linthicum-Shipley Fire Co. #32 of Anne Arundel Co. The County painted it slime line and ran it at Maryland City and later at the Harmans-Dorsey Station #21 before putting it into the reserve fleet. I think this rig was resently saved from the crusher and is now in the hands of a privated collector who plans to restore it.

Funny how Seagrave used a 4-door Cincinnati cab on this rig instead of their own P-cab.

It was delivered with a Seagrave 4dr cab. Shortly after it went into service it was involved in a collision with a train, one firefighter was killed in the accident. The Cincinnati cab was a replacement for the Seagrave cab that was destroyed in the collision.

Any photos of it when it was new?

Anybody have any info of Silver Hill's open-cab Seagrave pump? It's a late-1960's vintage K-cab. Also a few questions about it: Exactly what year was it, and did it come from the factory with a Detroit Diesel? Thanks.

Chillum-Adelphi FD in Prince George's Co, MD had this beautiful 1970 Seagrave PB 1000/300 which ran as both Eng 441 and Eng 342. (CAFD once ran out of two stations)
[/quote]
This truck is virtually identical to Glenside, PA's 1972 Seagrave open P-cab pump.

Here is a photo of the Seagrave "ladder support" pumper that Owings Mills ran in place of a ladder truck for a period of time. I think the rig may have originally served lansdowne, PA. Photo from my collection, original photographer unknown.
[/quote]I understand this rig is now privately owned. Great to know it still exists. I live just a couple blocks from Lansdowne, PA its original owner.

Did Baltimore ever run this rig or was it a very similar one?

I don't but if you have access to Walter McCall's book American Fire Engines Since 1900 there is a pic of the officer's side with the original Seagrave cab, Page 363, lower left.

1966? Seagrave

I remember talking to the owner some years back when he had it on display in Baltimore and he told me it's a '67. It originally had an open cab and was one of the first factory-installed diesels Seagrave ever sold. It has a small Cummins 6 and supposedly gets 11 MPG on the highway.

1967 IH VCO/Swab; x-Riviera Beach,MD., purchased around 1985-86
unknown,Jenkins collection
[/quote]Looking at the size of the exhaust pipe I suspect this was repowered with a diesel. The only diesels I've ever seen in IHC VCO-196's were CAT 3208 V-8's. Anyone have any specifics on this rig? Does it still exist? Thanks.

If this was repowered with a 2-cycle Detroit, the floor would have to be modified to accept the height of the diesel, with a noticeable hump as a result. Some Canadian C-Series Fords had Detroit Diesels in them but the cabs had to be raised to accept them, giving them the appearance of a 4X4. Still would be very interesting to see a Ford C-Series with a screaming Detroit in it.
