Ford C Series Chassis Fire Apparatus
|
This evening as I was sitting on my front porch I had the pleasure of seeing Boonsboro's "new" light wagon on the road. It served Bowie Md as Light Unit 19. I will try and get a photo of ot soon since she is now able to move under her own power.

I am interested in all of the equipment and apparatus used in fire fighting and ems service.
And now for our daily installment of Ford C's is this unit from Fortsmouth, Va. a early 80's Oren, former Engine 81. Ain't she a beaut!!!

Huh?? [/quote] I think it was 1975 Ford increased the width of the front fenderettes on their cab- they originally protruded approx an inch and later went out about three inches. The super duty sign between the headlights was also omitted in later years as were the orange reflectors in the grill area....For some reason post 74 they tended to sit a little higher but that sometimes depended on the engine size.....hope that helps explain....anyone is free to correct/ add more....
Was not aware of that tidbit OR ever noticed it....THANKS!!
