Getting points with the judges and winning trophies. [/quote] I noticed that the bumper is off in the second pic, do they only put it on for parades?

Burlington, CT a vacuum tanker (think septic truck) [url="http://ruralamericanimages.smugmug.com/Fire-Service-Photography-1/Archives-Parades/2002-Bantam-Parade/15303637_odA8a#1139866770_SK6fW-A-LB"][/url] [/quote] These appear to be 2 different vehicles....Unless there was a Major Re~hab...

No specific info on year or S/N, but this is a 1950's Mack B-85 750/1800 from the Turn of River FC in Stamford, CT. It was sold to the VFD in Flovilla, GA in the 1980's and is still there. The story I was told was that it had been rear-ended and the body was severely damaged. They needed a tanker, so the tank was modified to fit.
