Last for now is this 1968 Chevrolet pumper (500/1000) of unknown build operated by Pineville, Arkansas. Anyone have an idea of the builder? Bill Schwartz pic/Mattson Collection <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/usa.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I'm at a loss here. This Seagrave Anniversary Series pumper served the RCFD as Engine # 1. Where is this? I'm thinking maybe California.

They have been a longtime Seagrave customer, bought two Seagrave 1000gpm engines in 1947 and another in 1949 (according to their history site). I think Seagrave started building the Anniversary series in 1951, so maybe this is a later acquisition.
