Where was this big boy sitting?? It was supposed to go to a museum not sit outside!! This was such an awesome monster tanker.... Lionville always had unique pieces. At one time they had this tanker, an International Rescue truck that came from Broomall, Pa and a Peterbuilt pumper.

Don...Below is text when I posted this shot around August 13 in the Pennsylvania vintage thread. This was a shot that I was allowed to post from the trip. Some additional info for you here...Mark
The front half of this rig is a 1973 Brockway that was originally a pumper built by Ward LaFrance for the Covington Fire Co., in Daleville, PA. Later in life, it was mated to the back half of a 1958 IH VCO/American LaFrance 65'/750/200 that was originally in service in Endwell, NY, and then Montrose, PA. This was shot on August 12, 2009, outside the future Brockway Truck Museum, in Cortland, NY. Apologies for the background, but no one around, and impossible to have it moved for a better shot.
I thought this rig was scrapped, we lost track of it after Alsace Manor. does anyone have a shot of it in Wheatland? glad to see it wasnt. they didnt have it at Wallaceton last year when we were there. What happened to their 70CF ex-Clearfield?
Wallaceton picked the Mack CF from Wheatland up in the fall of 2008. I have a shot of it at Wheatland. Only difference from now is that it said Wheatland on the side of it. The other CF Wallaceton had is sitting out back for sale.
