That Brockway cab looks like a Mack R. [/quote] Good eye. It looks lke a Mack R cab becuase it is a Mack R cab. They were both manufactured by Mack. From 1956 to 1977, Mack owned Brockway Trucks.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE BUTLER COUNTY CO.5 [/quote] This rig is TOUGH-looking; I love the beacon ray mounted above the piping for the fire pump. Who did the bodywork on this monster? And, wasn't it featured in FAJ within the last two years or so as a rehabbed piece now being used a little (or a lot) further west than its original Pennsylvania home?

East Brandywine (Chester County)
Still in service but I hear its being replaced soon.
I will have to comment on the East Brandywine rigs since they are my hometown company. The first one posted is:
1984 Ford L-8000/4-Guys, canopy cab, 1000/1000, top-mount. This was the first engine ordered with a canopy cab and top-mount controls, Cat 3208 diesel engine, 225 HP, 5-speed with a 2-speed rear, 5 KW generator. The chassis came from New Holland Ford for $31,585, and the body cost $52,895 – total cost $84,480. It was housed on 6/9/85. It is used as a attack pumper. It was sold through Custom Tech Fire Apparatus (dealer) to the Broadview Fire Department in Saskatchawan, Canada. It was taken out of service on 11/23/98 and left for Canada on a lowboy the next day. The second one is a: 1987 Ford L-8000/4-Guys, canopy cab, 1250/1000, top-mount. This unit is a twin to the one purchased in 1985 at a cost of $81,000 Cat 3208 diesel engine, 250 HP, 5-speed with a 2-speed rear, 5 KW generator. It was delivered 4/88, placed into service 5/88. It is used as a supply pumper. Placed out of service on 6/23/04 and sold to Jon’s Mid America Fire Apparatus. It left on 7/9/04 on a lowboy. It was resold to the West Republic Fire Department (Greene County, MO). The last one is as follows and is for SALE. Being replaced by a 2012 Seagrave Marauder II pumper-tanker. 1989 Mack R690S chassis - purchased to replace the 1977 Ford LT-900 chassis which was in dire need of replacement. The tankwas also rehabed by 4-Guys. The chassis was purchased from Cambria Mack of Edison, New Jersey for $52,000, Mack EM-6 motor, 250HP, 5-speed manual transmission. Sent to Fire Power of Thorofare, NJ on 6/5/01 to have the pump rebuilt, returned to service on 6/22/01. Sent to 4-Guys on 10/25/02 for major tank work. The original 1977 cradle for the tank was rusting out and was replaced. The emergency lighting was also upgraded at this time and a new tank level gauge installed. Total cost was $18,424. Returned to service on 11/25/02. OOS again most of 09/03 due to pump problems, repaired by Midlantic ALF. Sent out on 3/1/07 to Bergy’s Truck Center of Consohohocken (local Mack dealer) to get a Allison automatic transmission installed. The Streethawk light bar was replaced with a Whelen MX7000 with a traffic light sensor on 8/7/09. Major electrical work was done in 12/09 by 10-8 of New Holland – new alternator & wiring. Bruce

And, wasn't it featured in FAJ within the last two years or so as a rehabbed piece now being used a little (or a lot) further west than its original Pennsylvania home?[/quote] As I remember this was a local built rig. The origional had a crew cab body with open hose bed. It was referbed at least once maybe 2 times. I thik it was in FAJ. Color was white with black fenders orijional.
