Scott,
Info on the Oxford tanker - will show tractor & trailer seperate: Trailer 1966 White tractor with a 5500 gallon Heil trailer. The trailer and tractor were donated to the company by the Hess Oil Company in 1974. It was housed on 5/6/78. The first couple of years they had it stored outside since there was no room in the station. The company almost got rid of it but decided to keep it. The tractor was replaced in 1979 and sold to Coats Junkyard. The trailer was sold to a junkyard in 1990. Te trailer color was all red.

Originally, it had the typical National Foam open pump compartment and simple round rear fenders. Looks like they just used the chassis and pump in the refurb. This whole body and pump panel is new. The capacities even changed from what my sources say, it was originally a 1250/500/100F.
