Like many other US cities that enclosed their semi- and open-cab apparatus in the 60s and 70s, many of those shop-built or local fabricators came up with some fairly ugly cabs.
After shooting Baltimore apparatus during the IAFC Convention in Baltimore, Duane Troxel shot the entire Washington DC department. I just finished scanning all his DC slides from that trip. I noticed that the DCFD was able to acquire some Mack B cabs to enclose their 1957 Mack B semi-open engines. Here is Engine 29's pump, Mack #B85F-1230, DCFD shop #S-296, Duane shot with a Mack B cab.

DC specified enclosed cabs on wagons in 1968, and on trucks in 1970.
