I think these heavy-duty GMC/Chevy chassis are very attractive, esp. powered by a Detroit Diesel.

Does he have a bunch of these GMC/Chevy style cabs around and have a liking for that style, not just fire trucks? I ask because I own a 68' GMC w/ this style cab and am looking for fenders, didn't know if this person is a possible contact or a helpful resource, thanks.

Not much help here, but no doubt an Oren w/ a 350gpm pto pump and a 750/1000 tank, a staple of central and s/w Virginia through out the 60-70's. Cut my teeth on one.

Found this one behind Irmo, SC station 2. A 1970 Seagrave. Not sure where she served. Went to the the website listed, but no info on this one.

Appomattox

Hoping someone can shed some light on this truck I found on Wednesday. I could not finish looking at the truck to determine where it is from because a large dog ran me off. All I know is it's a Spartan / American lettered Engine 13. This was the best shot I could get because of the woods on one side and another vehicle on the other side. I found the truck in Denver, NC.

Trey do you know where this ride was assigned in Norfolk? I have a photo of Engine 6 or Squirt 6 showing what appears to be the same ride.

[lawrencewhite111]

It was assigned as Engine 6 from 1991 to 2000.After that it was reserve till 2006 and taken OOS and sold.It was kept in good shape while in Norfolk,sucks to see it like that.There is a mixture of older rigs at the landfill by the way.
