You got part of your wish....



We just got notice from Appleton... THE SABER LIVES ON!



The Saber has been returned to the chassis line-up for sale with 2007 Engines. It only made sense to keep the SABER since the Custom Contender was based off the same cab shell and chassis.



I wouldn't look for the DASH or LANCE to return, but at least the ARROW-XT and the SABER will continue the "Ford" windshield family line.



See you at the Ocean,

Too bad they are getting rid of their best sellers. At least the Arrow and the Quantum didn't get eliminated.

It's late, I'm tired, and I may be all wet on this, but it wasn't Quality that assembled this one, I seem to recall that it was RD Murray. Somewhere in this mess I call home is a shot of it with all the correct info, but my fuzzy brain can't remember where.

I may be wrong too, I'd have to check in one of my books that I can't get to right now, but I believe Dave may be right on this.

'96 Duplex/R.D. Murray/AI 105' I believe. Corrections welcome.

[dawson_fire]

I won't even argue on this one!! I thought someone in Maryland had about the same thing only with Quality body work,maybe it was Hagerstown. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/shrug.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Ok, found the book this rig was mentioned in. It's "Aerial Fire Truck" by Larry Shapiro, and it is listed in that book as having RD Murray bodywork.

Hagerstown has twin Simon Duplex/Quality/Aerial Innovation tillers, assigned to Truck Co.'s 1 and 4.



They look pretty, but leave much to be desired as far as handling and operations.

Rescue29Engine23 that is correct. the Quantum differs from the old one by having a side mount pump, a rescue style body w/rooftop coffin compts, & a couple more minor things. it has a 1500 GPM waterous pump, 750 Gallon poly water tank, and 30 gallons of foam. i have more pics of this truck

[quote name='dawson_fire' post='87279' date='Mar 15 2007, 23:31 ']I found this truck at a local shop being worked on and I'm sure it has been posted before from its home in New York I beieve. Mifflintown now owns this 1976 CF Mack 75' Aerialscope with Pierce body work(refurb I think)and 1500gpm and carries chassis #1146,thats all the info that I have on this truck.



Terry[/quote]this rig belonged to nort bellmore fd on long island it has been replaced by a KME[uggg]

So Terry did you get that new PC you was telling me about?

[dawson_fire]

No but I did get my transmission rebuilt and a new ethernet board complete with installation disk and I'm going to load the camera later tonight.

It is amazing who you run into while driving a tractor trailer.Hungrybus was shooting Baltimore City's new Pierce Dash TDA so I joined in and here is my shot,notice the similar view as he was beside me.



Terry

[dawson_fire]

Well I'm back again and here is the other side of Baltimore's new Pierce 100' TDA.
