SCOT C1FD Chassis
I know this isn't a fire truck BUT I wanted to share with everyone a different model of Scot truck. This truck was built for the Canadian Army as a heavy equipment float tractor

(hence the green wheels).

I shot this rig parked in a field in the north of Oakville, ON while the house moving company was getting ready to move a model home seen in the back ground.



Look close at the cab and you will notice it is the same as the Cab over version...

The first Scot conventionals cabs where using a Ford LT cab before they switched.



I do not know of any Fire Apparatus built on this type of Scot chassis, but you never know??



IF you have any interest in seeing other Scot chassis built check out the website "hankstruckpictures' and search Scot or any other trucks you have an interest in and see what comes up...well worth a look IMO anyway.

Some people might not have known Scot was a manufacturer of "custom trucks".

You had a need and contacted Scot and they would create a truck to fill your requirements.

Hence, when Cdn Foamboss needed a NEW custom chassis for building CFR rigs they approached Scot and the Scot CFR was born.

First off the standard "Slab cab" was used in CFR models. both 4x4 and 6x6 versions.



Later on a Custom Scot CFR chassis was created.

Vancouver, BC's International Airport operated

this Scot CFR 4x4 / CDN Foamboss

1200/1200/165



The actual numbers of these types are questionable at best but I know of 2 4x4 and 1 6x6

all built for the nation of Iraq but in part of some issuies of the day, ended up in service in Canada...some are reported to have gone to Iran as well but who really knows for sure??

CDN Foam Boss built a number of trucks on the SCOT chassis, although it was a custom chassis and not the C1FD. The original whereabouts of this truck are unknown to me, but after the Canadian Air Force ceased fire protection at Ottawa International Airport, Transport Canada took over. This truck was mved in as a temporary rig until they could move some other trucks here. This truck now resides on display at the Canadian Aviation Museum, located in Ottawa at the former Canadian Forces Base Rockliffe. The only info I have is it's a 1976.

CFB Ottawa operated this 1981 SCOT/CDN Research/Foam Boss 960/770/45 as Red 8. I believe that this was one of 6 ordered for Iran, that ended up staying in Canada and were purchased by the Canadian Air Force.

In an error on my part, the last 7 Foam Boss rigs do not have cabs built by SCOT. I had information that they were, but have been informed that these cabs were actually built by OSHKOSH. Sorry for any confusion, but this might be a topic for another thread.

Hopefully I'll be able straighten out the various chassis and Foam Boss body styles.



The top photo is a CDN Foam Boss Model 1041-1 that was originally built for Iraq, two were built. They ended up staying in Canada and one went to Vancouver and the other to Grande Prairie Alberta. These trucks were built on SCOT CR3 4X4 chassis with a CDN designed cab.



The second photo is of a SMI chassis truck that was built for Transport Canada as the Mark 14. The cab and chassis were built in the SMI Bathurst New Brunswick facility and the cab and chassis were then delivered to CDN for mounting of the body.



Lastly, Six Oshkosh T-44 chassis were delivered to CDN for installation of the CDN cab and body. This is why the Vancouver truck and the DND trucks have a very similar cab style. These six trucks were always meant to be delivered to DND, never overseas. These were CDN Model 1041-18.



To add even further confusion this style of cab was also used on the American LaFrance chassis for the joint venture crash truck that was delivered to Fort Lauderdale Executive airport. This was CDN Model 1041-16



CDN Foam Boss used the SCOT C1FD cab for four crash trucks that were sent to Iran.



A 3000 US gallon capacity crash truck was delivered to Venezuela and it too was mounted on a SCOT chassis but the cab was a modifies C1FD style.



In total eight SCOT chassis crash trucks were delivered by CDN Foam Boss that I am aware of, according to the information that I have from the Nordic archives.
