Info on this rig.
1980 Seagrave, P-Series, canopy cab, 1500/500/50. It was delivered in 9/80 for $100,000, 8V71 Detroit diesel, automatic. It was refurbed in July of 1994 by Kenco who installed a new body at a cost of $32,000. The company has not been happy with the work done by Kenco. In January of 2000, the public works department rebuilt the motor (better than before), they did such a good job that the rear blew out the week of February 7th. Repaired and placed back into service. Replaced in early 2001, sold in 5/01 to Company Two Fire Trucks, GA for $7,000, which resold it to Saco (Pike County, AL).

Mike, did North Versailles have 2 ex F.D.N.Y. Mack towers or not? When I bought E-290 from them, they had parts off it from TL-18, IIRC it was the front grill with a big 18 on it. They told me it was old TL-18.
Maybe from TL-18 to TL-155 or vice versa?
Stay safe, Brothers.
Kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out. NEVER forget 9/11/01 WTC, Pentagon, Pa. Avenge the acts with NO mercy.
Thanks to ALL the Brothers who were there 9/11/01 and afterwards. Words can never say what appreciation we have for you all.
Green Valley Fire Co. of North Versailles Twp was the only department in the twp to own a Mack/Baker 75'. The unit was long gone before the merge happened from what I understand.
That thing had a Cat 3208 motor and a Spicer 2 speed bus transmission in it, the one guy at the station said the best way to drive it is to put a brick on the accelerator... make a sandwich, pour a drink... by the time you are done eating and drinking the truck might have shifted into second gear and might be out of town. A true gutless wonder!!!
