Oh wow, Dave!  How'd you happen to get a fire department and town named after yourself?  Oh, nevermind, it says Old "FORT".  My bad!

I also stopped at Denmark, but again, no one home.  I found this one sitting out back.

My final stop of the trip was Williston.  I had noseprinted the bay doors on the way to Charleston, but no one was home.  I got the Chief's number from the Town Hall and left him a voicemail.  Arrangements for the return trip were made a couple hours later.

Dave,

I thought this was ex Sumpter SC?

 

Sumter never owned or ran this.

Back in the later part of last year I posted groups of photos that I had taken and was missing information for my database.  Here is another such group.  Over the next several days, I will be posting apparatus from Canada, mostly Toronto.  I am looking for the year of manufacture on each one, plus there may be a few details on specific ones that I need.  All help is greatly appreciated.

Post 4691..... Is that Ford C~series 4WD?

It's possible that it is 4WD, but I'm thinking that they probably raised the cab height to accommodate a larger diesel engine like an 8v71 Detroit.

[GA_Dave]

hondok is correct, it is not 4x4, but it has a big Detroit in it.  That practice was fairly common in Canada, but not here in the States.  There was one US builder that did use this on several Ford C's.  Can anyone name them?
