yes they are. long double door on the relic, singles on the Philly rig.[/quote]



Ummm Mike -

Philly Mack's had 2 Compartments over each rear wheel. The one in question has 2 compartments over the rear as well... Cant tell what is on the driver's side. The Suction Hose could have been added in the referb... Hard to say.

About 12 years ago I found this old Dodge fm-pumper sitting behind the River Inn Hotel/Restaurant in the Big Sur area of California. Maybe once a hotel-owned private fire truck? Body builder unknown.

This 1963 Crown with rare four-door cab I found behind the fire-station in Springdale/Utah. Unfortunately, no one was around. I found out, that this Crown with the # F-1290 with 1250 gpm-pump and 500 gallon-tank was originally in service with the L.A. County FD and later sold to Springdale.



Maybe someone knows, if this beauty was saved ?

This is truly sad for me. This rig is 1973 Seagrave I grew up with. It was Pumper 4 unitl the station was closed in the early 1980's. It then spent time as Pumper 6 and finished up its service as Pumper 1 until the current one arrived in 1996. This rig was involved in a serious accident in the late 1980's when it and Pumper 6 hit at an intersection. I thought she was done then but the city fixed her up. Now to see her is sad. She it sitting behind a toy store falling to pieces. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Sad' />

My immediate first thought on this rig was that it looks like the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree of Fire Engines. Poor thing.

The other day, I finally achieved one of two lifelong goals I have. One is to shoot at least one Young Crusader, the other was to shoot at least one Maxim F model. Well, here's the F-model I shot! It's been mentioned on the boards many times, but after it went OOS back in the early 2000's it went MIA. I finally found the old gal parked on Sevierville HWY in Maryville, TN.
